Writings of Gonzales Take Up
 Entire Day of Court
MANY ATTACKS ON PULLMAN
One of Them Criticised Him for . Telegram He Sent the President Inc Connection With Pre-.
 ~. sentation of Sword.

Lexington. s. C.. October 1.-Editorials from The State during 1902 occupied the fourth day of the trial of James H. TllI- man. charged swith thesmuder of Editor Gonzales.
 These editorials were placed In evidence .on Tuesday by counsel for the state. It was anticipated when the reading was begun that half the time would be con- sumed that was taken, and even yet there remain about two columns to be read. It Is estimated that some thirty columns were read today. Papers from which the editorials were read run from the 1st of April to the end of the year 1902. Twice during the day Judge Gary suspended momentarily because of the strain on the jurors. who listened intently throughout.
 At the outset counsel for the defense asked that editorials other than those re- lating to James Fl. Tillman be read, but the court held that ins.smuch an the files were placed in eviderice by tho state, it was the province of the s4ate to in- dicate what should be read. Ssonnsel for the defense having previously inspected the files had a complete, index to the ed- itorials In the papers. and closely fol- lowed the reading. Among the editorials read were those inc opposition to the pros- pective candidacy of Tillman for the gubernatoria1 nomination. Others eriti- clzed the action of the e.defendant In send ing a telegram to the President In con- nection with the incident of the presen- tation of sword to Maj. Micah Jenkins, while editorials read. later in the day were comments on the election results. Only one witness was examined today. He was James W. King, a member of the legislature from Florence county. who. in answer to questions by the solicitor. af- ter stating that he was in Columbia dur ing the session of the legislature last winter said:
 "On the day before the shooting I saw a pistol in MT. Tilman's pocket"
 He said on cross-examination that he was aware of unfriendly feelings between the defendant and N. c. Gonzales.
