sip down there is all on the subject of
Tillmans acquittal."
What do they say about it?" asked the
newspaper man.
We'll, they say it was the slickest
thing that ever happened. said the
drummer The shooting of Gonzales"
he said, occurred at the capital Column
bia. and there it was expected he would
be tried, but Tillman had a fine array of
able lawyers and his uncle Ben. the SEN
ator, also came to his rescue, although
Ben does not ordinarily take much stock
in Jim.
"A change of venue was the first thing
asked and 1t was grantd. The case was
then removed to Lexington, S. c., not far
from Columbia, and the judge in that
county was to sit for the first time in a
criminal case.
'Tillman's friends then secured a num-
Der of old books which contained por-
traits and sketches of Roosevelt Till

Der of shrewd keen men were employed

AS the canvassers turned the leaves of
their books and referred to the sketch of
Tiilman they skillfully brought out the
farmer and merchant upon the subject
They found out just what sentiments
were entertained toward Tillman by
every eligible juryman in the county,
and when the venire was drawn they
were familiar with the attitude of every
man who responded
If prospective juror was about to be
accepted and had previously talked to
the canvasser in an unfrendly way
about Tillman they Immediately turned
him down. They would confront the
would-be juror with the canvasser and
prove that he had expressed an adverse
opinion. and he would be excused.
1t was Il completely worked-up case.
and there was no chance for the jurors
who were the slightest bit hostile to get
on the jury, but the friendly ones were
rot closely questioned.

any such scheme was ever before SO
cunningly and thoroughly executed but
the freedom of Tillman today is no doubt
due to the work of those clever canvass
erS and the use made of them, for they
