GONZALES LIFE HANGS
BY A SLENDER THREAD
TilIman in Eflgy Hung by
a Mob.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. Jan. 17.-At I
o'clock this morning the physicians at
tending Editor Gonzales, shot on Thurs
day by Lieutenant Governor Tiuman, ex-
pressed the greatest fear as to his re-
covery. He is lowering between life and
death
His family, which had been hopeful
since the operation was performed, has
gradually reached the opinion that death
may claim him at any moment II he
survives the surgeons say It will be lit
tie less than a miracle.
In view of the indignation expressed
in Columbia and throughout South Caro-
lima the Gonzales family has made the
statement that there is no fear of mob
violence and has expressly asked that
the law be allowed to take It's course.
This statement was called out when it
became known that mob had hung
Tillman in efhgy. Tillman has strong
following and there is no desire to bring
on clash.
