COLUMBIA, 5. c.. Jan. 26.-Thc killing

heavy punishment for the slayer.
Immediately after the shooting. when
it was thought that 3Ir Gonzales was
fatally injured. a general impression was
that Tiuman would go unframed. Senti-
ment is growing against TiIlman. not SC
much because Of the shooting Itself. but
because of-the manner in which il was
done and because of the high official
position he held, which ought 10 have
meant his observance OF the laws.
There are meny persons Who are stiH
of the opinion that nothing will be done
in the end toward furnishing TiUma>.
and if a wager were made at this time il
would generally be long odds that he
would go unpublished. a great manv

viii take place at any time after April

bly, a conviction Of manslaughter. ana
that the case win drag along on appeals

in the end Tillman viii not be punished
The trial viii. if it takes the ordinary
course, take place in this county. The
first session Of the court at which the
case could be tried viii convene here in
April. but. as a general rule. important
murder trials are never held al the first
session after the crime is committed
as the counsel for the defense generally
finds some reasonable excuse 10 defer a
hearing so as to give public sentiment
time in which to cool off. After the first
postponement there is likely to be anon-

juries are not prone to convict white men
OF murder
Of course. Tillman has friends and q

Hogg states this can be done by one Of
two methods. on-interference or re-
fraction and detection OF waves. Both
principles have been experimental with
but complete success has not heretofore
been reached.
Prof. Braun's discovery Of the princi-
pie of propagating electric waves by
Leyden jars was used by Marconi in his
successes. He announced 10 the Stras-
burg Scientific Society he had discovered
method of producing electric energy
and projecting it into space in unlimited
volumes. His new method will secure
greater accuracy. Whether his method
has not been previously discovered by
Commander Hogg must be proved by the
