Verdict of ACquittaI Found
 After Twenty Hours
FROM THE BEGINNING
Ten Jurymen Believed That He Thought He Was Acting in Self Defense When He Killed Editor Gonzalez.

Lexington, $. C., Oct. 15.-James H. Tillman, who was charged with the murder of N. C. Gonzales, editor of the State-in Columbia, on January 15 last, was acquitted this morning.
 The jury was out 20 hours before re- porting a verdict.
 MT. Tillman left the court room in company with his attorneys, but part ed with them at the front door to go across the street to the jail, visiting that institution for the last time to gather up his effects. He had been in custody since January 15, his applica- tion for bail having been refused.
 Mrs. Tillman and the defendant s mother were not in the court room when the verdict was announced, but the former had been apprised of an agreement and was at the jail to await the announcement and meet her hus- band there.
 The mother had heard at her hotel. some blocks away, that the jury had come in, and was hastening on her way to the court house when she met her son coming out on the street. Learn ing the result, she threw her arms around his neck.
 Later all gathered at the hotel where they received their friends, and rela- lives. MT. Tillman left on an afternoon train for his home in Edgefield, accom- . panied by his wife and friends from his home county.
 Soon after the jury went out yester- day afternoon. a ballot was taken which resulted in vote of 10 to for acQuittal.
 Soon after one of the minority join ed the majority, leaving one juror standing out. He held to his views and kept the jury cut all night. It was only about twenty mnutes before the knock was heard on the jury room door this morning that he yielded. Many of the jurors got no sleep at all during the twenty hours they were locked up.
 The count in the indictment charg- ing the carrying of concealed weapons was ignored during the trial and the jury took no action on if. After the verdict was announced the clerk, heid up the pistols which figured in the trial and offered them to the defendant who waved them off saving, They are not mine"
 James H. Tillman after his acquittdl made the following statement to the Associated Press:
 T feel very grateful at the result of the verdict but at no time did I appre- bend any serious consequences. I, of course, deeply regretted the death of Mir Gonzales, but I was forced to do what 1 did. I have never apprehended conviction. for I felt that I did not do any more than any other man would have done, under the circumstances, and what I was compelled to do. My position was fully stated in the testi- mony l gave on the stand.
 T did ask for a change of venue be- cause I was convinced on account of

CIVIC FEDERATION
Question of the Open Shop
 Is Discussed
Fir Mitchell Defends the Policy of Exclusion hut He Says It Should Be Followed Judiciously.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-The discussion of representatives of labor and of capital took up the greater part of the first session today of the National Civic Federation conference which is en- dcavoring to establish more rightful relations between employers and em- p,oyes and to end strife.
 During his talk on the "open shop,'' today. John Mitchell. president of the United Mine Workers, strongly de- nounced non-unionists and the strike breaker, whom he likened to a crimi- nal.
 At tomorrow's session Samuel Comp CTS, president of the American Fedora tion of Labor, is to preside. Senator Hanna, it is said will be in charge of Saturdays meeting.
 MT. Mitchell in opposing the "open shop said:
 By refusal to work with non- union men, labor organiza tions occa- sionally excite acute irritation among employers and invite grave criticisms from press and public.
 TO refuse to work with non- union men is to no greater and to no less
 
 fire insurance company to refuse cer- tain people. or for any association whatsoever to set conditions under which it will have dealings with cer- tain persons.
 "The compulsion eXerted by unions, whether toward non-unionists or em- ployes. must be judged upon it's merits and must not be decided merely be- cause of it's compulsion
 'The majority of on-unionists are not malicious, only at the worst stu pid. However, there is one group of noh-unionists. professional strike breakers, but little removed from the criminal class.
 'I do not mean to say every strike breaker is criminal. Some of these professional strike breakers are former unlonists. men who have been dishon- orabiy discharged from the union, cash1ered for conduct unbecoming a unionist. if not actually indicted for defalcations or other offenses against the law. Others have never been in a union and have never been defiIed or contaminated by work
 With the progress of trades unions and their growth in strentgh there will be lessening in the intensity of feel ing against the non-unionist but no lessening in the policy of exclusion.
 In conclusion. he said that trade unions have q perfect legal right and moral right to exclude non- unionists. but that this right shall be exercised with the utmost care and only after persuasion has been tried and failed. ''

an 1S-inch tile with a 22-iuch

BRONX POLICE BOOTHS.
Plan for Better Communication Be-
tzceen PatroImen and Stations.

William Stonebridge Of No. 951 East One-hun-
dred-and- eighty fourth-st., The Bronx is anxious
to have the Police department establish IN that
borough a system of signal booths, so that there
may be some quicker means of communication with
patrouen on posts than exists
Several communications have passed between Mr..
Stonebridge and ex- Commissioner Partridge, former
Deputy Commissioner ThurstOn and Commissioner
Greene but although the correspondence has eX-
tended over a period of seventeen months no
action seems to have been taken by the department
Mr.. Stonebridge's plan is to have booths with
telephones at the intersection of every four posts
and to have a patrOlman remain at the booth for
a half-hour or longer until relieved by the officer
on the adjoining post, which would enable ser
geants on duty at stationhouses to be in constant
touch with every section Of their respective pre-
cncts The system would make it possible TO
inform patrolmen on post of crimes such as the
Roxbury murder, and put the police in position
10 make arrests before much time had gone Dy.
The present method of reaching men on post,
according Mr.. Stonebridge, is to send out
roundsmen reserves. which requires several
hours. and takes a number of men from station
IS adopted and the booths were placed near fire
alarm boxes it would prevent the Fire Department
from responding to many false alarms.
Mr.. StOnebrdge says he believes that citizens
would feel more secure in the knowledge that it
would be possible to reach one patrolman at any
would have to be hunted Up when needed. Mr..
StOlebriGge is awaiting the return of Commissioner
Greene, who is expected to take up his plan and
arrive at some definite decision regarding it.
