The judge— Did you not have some sensa
tk-n of the enormity of your act when you
raw th- eyes of your victim fixed upon you?
Has not nmorscful memory troubled you
•in*-* ?
C.irerio—No. I have hnd none whatever.
The brutal cynicism of the prisoner caus
ed a movem«nt of repulsion in the court
room.
Coming to the question of pn meditation,
Cas rio readily admitted that the anarch
ist was the enemy of all chiefs of state and
•Iso that the purchase of the dagger was a
furth r Indication of premeditation.
The judge—How long had you meditated
th«- crime?
Caserio (Impudently)—You’ll find that in

The ju ’ge tl;-*n read a nttmb-r of infl-im
matory statements attributed to Caserio,
•nd said:
"You declare that if you returned to Italy
you would kill both the king and the pope?”
Caserio—That is impossible. The pope
xnd the king are never together, inerefore
1 could not kill Itoth.
He also denie*.l that the crime was the re-
Fti’t of a plot in which the assassin was
design*; d by lot.

• The Judge asked Caserio if, jn case he

had not killed the president in Lyons he
would have tried to do so elsewhere—in
Paris, for instance.
The prisoner answered that if he had rot
succeeded he should have tried to find work.
The judge—Should you hav? followed and
sought to kill him elsewhere.
Caserio—P.r haps so if an opportunity
occurred.
A number of witnesses testified to the
details of the crime and the identification of
tlv prisoner. Among them Bootmaker Po
mergue, who caught Caserio as he was
fleeing, after striking the fatal blow, who re
lated the circumstances.
Caserio contradicted Demergue, saying:
“You are not the first man who seized me.
It was somebody else. You are claiming
glory that you did not earn.”
Incidenally Caserio expressed regr.t
that he had thrown his dagger away, as.
had he retained it, he would have stabbed
Dumergqe or any one else who att mpted
to stop him. At this Domergue, whose face
had been almost crimson, turned white.
During a short recess of the court, D:-
breuil, the prisoner’s counsel, expressed as
tonishment at his client’s coolness and as
serted his intention to s t up a plea of in
sanity, basing it upon the prisoner’s ac
tions and ut>on hereditary epileptic tenden
cies.
Dr. Pontet, the physicia who attended
Carnot afb.r he was wounded, gave a long
and detailed description of Carnot’s inju
ries. While he was doing this, the prisoner
sat with an expression of mute elation,
drinking every word with the avidity of a
student thirsting for know) dge.
The trial will lie continued tomorrow.
TO lilL GUILLOTINE.
Santo’s Jurors Were Out Out, Thirteen Min
utes on His < »»«'.
Lyons, August 3.—The second day of the
trial of the anarchist assassin, Santo
Cesario, opened with the testimony of the
soldier, Leblanc, who, while under arrest
for desertion, was confined in the hospital
at Cette at the same time that Cesario was
a patient in that institution. Leblanc re
lated the purport of his chats with Cesario
wliiie in the hospital, and persisted in his
previous statement that Cesario had de
clared that the anarchists would not kill a
president or a king, and also in his state
ment that Cesario had said that the lots
had been drawn and that he had in this
way been assigned to go to Lyons and kill
M. Carnot.
Cesario denied that he had said these
things to Lx blanc, though he admitted that
he had pn-acneu unaienistb- doctrines to
him. Concerning the drawing of lots, Ce
sario said that anarchists retained abso
lute individual liberty of action, and would
not execute deeds merely because they
happened to have been selected by hazard,
or for any other particular reason than
that of their own will.
At 9:3U o’clock the arguments began. The
prisoner's counsel in the course of his ar
gument said that Cesario had fled front
Italy to France because he had been con
demned in Italy. He came to France with
out money and without a passport. Under
the circumstances his friends were neces
sarily among the anarchists, who reiterat*‘d
to him the incisions to crime which Gori
had inculcated in him. Cesario, he de
clared, was a mere instrument.
“No!” shouted Cesari >, springing to his
feet, "that is not true.”
The prisoner then, in an excited manner,
addressed himself to M. Debreuil, insisting
that he terminate his argument at once.
M. Breuill, the presiding judge. frowm*d
the prisoner down and threatened to put
him outside the courtroom and keep him
there during the remainder of the trial if
he did not remain quiet.
Cesario subsided. When the argument
had been concluded the court gave these
questions to the jury:
"Did the prisoner. Santo Cesario, assas
sinate President Carnot, and was the crime
premeditated?”
A Verdict of Guilty.
The Jury retired <t 12:05 o’clock and was
out just thirteen minutes. They returned
t<* court and presented an atlirmative an
swer to both questions.
Cesario, who had ir. the meantime l>een
removed from the courtroom, was brought
back and the jury's declaration was read
him by the registrar.
At 'he announcement of the verdict the
supercilnus grin which Cesario ha s worn
most of the time during the trial disap
peared like m,.glc and his face blanched.
Attorney General Folchier demanded the
immediate imposition of the death penalty.
To Die toy the Guillotine.
Then* was a alien for a moment and
then the judge in solemn tone, but with a
touch of harshness, pronounced the sentence
that the prisoner be put to death by the
guillotine.
As the sound of the judge's voice ceased
Cesario pulled himself together—for a int
nn r.t he was almost limp—and. in a feeble
voice exclaimed:
"Vive la revolution!”
Two gendarmes seize d the condemned
assassin and as they hurried him out of
th** room on the way to his cell he did nut
forget to shout, in a voice somewhat strong
er than his last utterance, he meaningless
words employed by all anarchists convi ted
of crime:
"Courage, comrades, viva I’anarchie!”
The written statement prepared by Cesario
and read to the court by the interpreter,
is a maundering and disjointed production,
containing the customary anarchistic af
firmations that hundreds died as hunger
and exposure; that children and women
work fifteen hours a day for a mere pit
tance. living ui>on black bread, while the
fortunes of the favored few are squandered
in luxuries and other familiar platitudes.
<'vxi*rl«»'s statement.
“When a child,” the prisoner says in
his statement, “I l»elteved in God. hen I
became older I saw that it was not God
that created mtin, but that it was man who
created God. Though 1 have been but a
short time here, I have seen much in
justice. The strikers tn the north, after
three months’ privation, were forced to
resume work at the same old starvation
wages. After this act, the authorities, not
satisfied with punishing the.se poor wretches,
persecuted them and domiciliary visits were
made to all persons of our sect. Just
as long as these measures are employed so
long will we reply with the dagger and
with dynamite. The last words vs the
Chicago martyrs were: ’Long live anarchy!
Deatn to society!’ These words crossed the
ocean and the mountains will resound with
them everywhere until the sect’s ideal pre
vails. When no longer starving working
men are driven to suicide, and when no
longer the sect is persecuted, but the rulers
and legislators are extirpated, then will
come the era of the exploitation of the work
ingmen and happiness will reign supreme.”

BUTLER GETS MAD.
njtEX 11K ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK
THE CIIOWD HOOTED HIM.
THEN HE TALKED SHARPLY TO THEM.
Tillmoii Said the General’s Mouth was n Sew

An Exciting Interview in a Car.
Spartanburg. S. C., July 31.—(Special.)—
Governor Tillman and Senator Butler had
an exciting personal altercation in a Pull
man car on the way from Union here to
night. It ended in smoke, but for a time
trouble was looked for. Boiled down, the
matter was that Butler was offended at
what Tillman said of hint today, and went
into the car. He told Tillman that he had
deliberately perpetrated a fraud and a lie,
and that he desired personal satisfaction
and in the future would take it.
Tillman told Butler he was old and In
firm and one-legged and he would not fight
him. Butler told him not to mind his in
firmities, but when he wanted to fight to
say so. Tillman told Butler that black
guards were in full swing these days, and
that he (Butler) had helped to repeal the
dueling law which prev .ted a gentleman
getting satisfaction. Butler answered that
this didn't matter and charged U.liman
with having put hoodlums on to hint to
howl him down. Tillman denied this.
Cal Caughman cursed Tillman and start
ed to draw a pistol, but was hustled out of
the car. Governor Tillman in opening his
sp< ■.• eh referred to the prematurely pub
lish* d reiiort of a portion of tne speech
which Senator Butler was to have deliv
ered at Laurens. Governor 'i ulnian took
this*; things up and said he was tired of
these insinuations of Butler’s and wouldn’t
stand them. They indicated that he was
either a tool or dishonest, it came with
po*ir grace from Butler to insinuate dishon
esty when he could not say that he had
paid all his own honest debts. He de
clared that Buller is allowing his mouth
to be used as a sewer pipe through which
other people discharge their litlth at him
(Tillman). Butler got his figures from the
members of the whisky trust or from some
one else wiio didn't know what they were
talking about.
When Butler got up to speak there seemed
to be an expectancy of something either
in explanation or otherwise. General But
ler said he had appeared in -ampaigns
since 1870, except for the last two cam
paigns, wlvn, for some reason, he was tm!
asked. He had tried to conduct the cam
paign on a high plane and according to
parliamentary rules. Without any provo
cation some of the crowd began to cheer
for Tilhnan. General Butler went on to
say that some philosopher had said when
a man got mad he was a fool, and that to
day's exhibition was no exception to the
idle. "Governor Tillman has s>- *n fit to go
out of his way to make some ilings at me."
Then, turning to • Governor Tillman and
around to the crowd that wus still hur
rahing, General Butler, who wis getting
redd* r in the face, said: "I want to noti
fy him and you that in future 1 do not in
tend to wash our dirty linen in public. It'
in or you has any personal grievance
agairst me there is another way to settle
it. He knows where to find me and that
he 'tin r-t all the satisfuetion ne wants.
1 let sueli things pass by as idle wind, but
) want to say that it is always the hit dog
that hollers.”
He Sii.vmi "You Ire Another.”
This seemed to get the boys to hollering
and hurrahing again in great shape and
they kept it up for some time. Butler went
on to * xplain how the matter had been
prematurely published in The News and
Courier. He said that he had a copy with
him at Lauv. ns and gave it to the corre
spondent, and that the hitter made copies
for him and other papers and marked it to
The News and Courier. For some reason
the speech could not be used, and, not wit n
stan l.ng the correspond.-nl hud telegraphed
aliout it, the matter was used. “Yet Gov
ernor Tillman gets up,” said General But
ler, "and talks about my mouth being a
Sewer, lied save s<*wer pip*‘S if his mouth
is not worse than any 1 know of.”
This was the occasion for another out
break of applause for Tillman and a lot
for Butler to counteract it. This about
started the row. Going on, General Butler
said: "I want to say this: The figures 1
gave in that article I se*-ure*i ft mi compe
tent authority, and not from the win. Icy
trust, but Tillman does not answer the di
rect quistion, are the figures correct?
A\ liy does he not answer?”
Governor Tillman—l’ve already done so
once. 1 said they were not true.
The hurrahing was getting worse. "The
point is,” Butler continue*!, "whether t ese
figures ar*- cornet, and 1 want to >
I’ve got them from a re] aide source, iaik
about my not paying my honest debts. If
1 had the dispensary at my b.u k with its
hundreds of thousands of dollars in it. 1
would, jierhaps, lx* aide to easily pay •■very
tidn.g and ma; If feather my pockets. (Great
hurrahs for Tillman and some for Butler).
Anybody who says I don't pay my honest
debts tells a falsehood. That 1 am a pool
man is not my fault. I have done my duty
to myself and my country.”
The hurrahs kept up for some time and
at the first yell Butler said: "He’ll need all
the hurrahing he can get.
Cliiiiigeti Lenders.
An .‘x-soldier cried out: "You led me once
and 11 • is leadiiig m-? right now, teferiing
to Tillman.
Bull**" said: “I understand that this is
a pul up job to howl me down. But you
can t do it. (’Ball attr 'rah for Tillman). If
you want anything you can get it. I’ll take
you blackguards one at a time and give you
all you want.”
Tint was a little too severe for some.
Down through the crowd came J. M. Mob
ley, tearing for But hr, but he stopped be
fore he got where there was any trouble. It
didn't phase Butler.
The noisy fellows then got mad. "He’s
charged us with being packed,” they cried.
Ah n crowded up toward the stand and the
yelling kept up. The crowd serged and a
little fence around the stand was broken
down. The crowd trampled on the territory
of the n-porters.
“He's an honest man and we won’t let
him be denounced,” some one orled.
"By G— don’t let him cull us thieves,”
was the response.
Governor Tillman got up and asked that
Butler be given an audience. General But
ler asked him to sit down.
Uhaii-man A. C. Lyles, who tried his best
to keep things quiet, got up and said: "I'm
surprised at you." Dr. Munroe came up
and said G* neral Butler would have to
sp»ak. Things, went on in a jarring, excited
way. No one knew how it would end, but
luckily they simmered down. When General
Butler managed to be heard,*he said: "1 ve
said nothing except what 1 Intend to stand
by. 1 was Invited here to speak and I do not
intend to »k* intiimdated and howled down.
I’ll get down when 1 ve spoken. Why. there
are not men enough here to suppress my
free speech.”
"Don’t abuse us,” said some one.
Ti’lking Against a Crowd.
"I have' no; abused any one except a
few out there who tried to howl me down.
1 never would do such a thing. I see men
out there who were with me in far more
dangerous places.”
“I’d stand with you now if you were on
the right fide,” said the same old soldier.
"Go ahead. We’ll listen.”
Butler- "No you won’t. That’s not what
you are here for. I’m afraid some of you
are wot liberal enough to hear me and give
a man his free speech. I thought the men
of Union were remarkable for their cour
tesy and chivalry, and 1 believe a ma
jority of them are. 1 sat there and listened
to all he had to say to me, but when I
got up to talk about him, his henchmen
attempted to howl me down.” (Hurrah
for Tillman and Butier.)
T. K. Palmer—“ Did you call this crowd
a Tot of thieves?”
“No, certainly I did not.”
Palmer —“Then 1 apologize.”
Some thought that this would precipitate
another row, but luckily the war cloud
passed by without trouble. General But
ler then went on without much more in
terruption.,
"I want to say this to you and to some
of you who stood by me when it took men
to do so. I intend to speak if I have to
stay here until sundown.”
He then said that in 187'5 he took his life
in his own hand to redeem the state and
he thought then that the state would at
least have free speech, but it seemed that
to some few even this is not permitted.
That will never win. It won't work here
or any where else. It will bring untold
woes if it is persisted it*.
.Sriiiitling (ii> to Gantt.
Easley, S. (’., August 2.—(Special.) —Reso-
lutions have been passed bv Larry Gantt s
local alliance at Spartanburg refusing to
acquiesce in Gantt’s expulsion by the state
alliance. The resolutions declare that the
state alliance acted unjustly in nu
notice wa* given Gantt, that it exceeded its
jurisdiction, going beyond the constitution,
that Encampment alliance will consider

REFORMERS ARE SPLIT UP.
Some of Thein Want One Thing and
Otlierx Another Tiling.
Columbia. S. C., August 2—(Special.)—
Chairman Sligh, of th*? state reform exec
utive committee, has called this body to
gether to meet at an early day to consider
calling off the reform convention ordered to
meet August IGth.
This action is taken in view of the open
dissensions in the reform faction.
All the candidates for governor excent
Evans are opposed to a convention and de
sire to go before the general democratic
primaries.
If the committee refuses to withdraw the
call, then Evans’s nomination will be as
sured. but leading reformers declare that
the resulting defection will destroy the
ascendency of the reform faction.
I ■roll Is Muy Take a Hand.
It is current here that the prohibitionists
propose to take a hand in the selection of
the governor and will throw their strength
solidly to the candidate who most nearly
conforms to their views.
lliin \*» Power in the Premises.
Mayor Sloan tod ly in the eases of several
saloonists, arrested two months ago at the
instance of prohibitionists, for “running
blind tigers,” deeid»*d that he had no juris
diction and dismissed the accused, taking
the ground that the dispensary act of 1892
removes from him all power in the premises.
The mayor, therefore, appears to concede
that the act of 1&C has not been passed
upon by the supreme court.

IJo I« a 10 to 1 Ratio Silver Man—Arbitration
Is One of His Plunks—T® Prevent Cor
porations Controlling the Senate.
Washington. August 4.—(Special.)—Hon.
William J. Bryan, Nebraska’s eloquent
young orator, .will enter the senatorial race
from his state. A few days ago he receiv
ed a letter from the executive commit
tee of the Nebraska Democratic Coinage
League, .asking him to run tor the senate
and to state m his reply his platform.
Replying to this letter, Mr. Bryan says:
"I acknowledge with grateful apprecia
tion the honor co iferred uy such a request,
coining from an organization representing,
as yours does, in my judgment, not only’
the sentiment of a majority of the demo
cratic party cm the silver question, but rep
resenting on that question the best inter
ests of the stat* of Nebraska and of the
nation as well; and 1 fully concur in the
opinion expressed by you that the people
should be permitted to vote directly lor
their representatives in the United States
senate.
“The most important .and far-reaching
question which wilt confront the senator’s
election in next January will be the money
question. In my judgment, it lies at the
bottom of the great industrial disturbance
now prevalent throughout the world, and
no permanent prosperity car. be expected
until silver is restored to its rightful place
by the side of gold, or metallic money Is
abandoned entirely. For reasons, which I
have stated on former occasions. 1 perfer
the remonetization of silver to the complete
demonetization of both of the precious
metals; and I therefore favor the imme
diate restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the present
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the
aid or consent of any o.her nation on
earth.’
“Believing that the creation of money
is an attribute of sovereignty, I am op
posed to ’arming out the right to any pri
vate individual or corporation whatever,
and, in ease the precious metals do not
furnish a sufficient supply, favor the issue
of full legal tender paper, redeemable in
coin, by the general government, in such
quantities that the volume of the currency,
goal, silver and paper together, will be so
adjust* d to the needs of commerce that
the dollar will be stable in the purchasing
power, and thus defraud neither debtor nor
creditor.
Opposes Gold Con tracts.
“I shall also favor such legislation as will
hereafter prohibit the making of contracts
for u particular kind of money. No person
should be permitted to demonetize by con
tract a nation’s money.
“The fact that the purchasers of the
bonds recently issued (and issued, as I be
liex g, .'Without .'easonuiue excuse) drew
from the treasury more than IS.UUO.OOU in
gold, to pay for the bonds sold to obtain
gold, shows the viciousness of the policy
followed by the present administration and
by the preci ling republican administra
t.on, of allowing the holuers of greenbacks
and treasury notes to demand gold only
!• ■ i»ti. n. The government has, and
should *•::< reise, the option ci paying either
gold or silver on all coin obligations. If
the got i rnnient will exercise this option
in the interest of the people generally, it
will not be necessary to further burden
the taxpay :*rs by issu. s of interest-bearing
bonds in time of peace. Until the govern
ment does exercise its right to pay in sil
ver when that is most convenient, it will
be at the mercy of any band of conspira
tors who may find a pt.cuniarj advantage
in depleting' the gold reserve. No issue of
bonds, however great or frequent, can
maintain a gold reserve so long as the op
tion is giv* n to the noteholuer and tne
moneyed interests hnd a ii.ont in the in
ert asv of our bonded !nd"i.*i' dness.
“The election ot ( niteil states senators
by the people is becoming mere and more
inijMirtaut, as great corporal inns become
better able to select their agents through

Only One Term for a President.
“1 am infavor of an amendment to th®
constitution making the president ineligible
to re-election, in order that he may not be
tempted by ambition tc use the enormous
patronage at his disposal to secure a con
tinuance in otiiee. .
“1 am in favor of a liberal pension poli
cy towards the nation’s dieabliM and needy
soldiers, and toward their widows and de
penents. .
“The time has come, in my opinion, »or
the operation of telegraph .systems by the
general government, in connection with the
postal system.
"Believing that the government which
creates is greater than the creature created,
I favor the strict control of railroads ai:d
of al! other public corporations by prop_r
legislation, to the end that they may be
made to carry out the beneflcient ptiryorts
which called them into being. The people
of Nebraska have a special interest in the
dealings of the government with the Union
Pacifle railway, and J shnl! favor the fore
closure of the government lien on all the
Pacific railways and th**ir sale, or the pur
el ase anti cperaticii of the same by the gov
et t merit, in order that theeominerce of Ne
braska and of other western states, may
not be burdened by tolls collected to pay

Dallas. Tex., August 3. —After 1.214 bal
lots for the nomination of a candidate, the
congrvssi mal convention at Corsicanna ad
journed at noon today to meet at Dallas on
August 21st. From start to finish the vote
stood: Burke, 37; Poindexter, 32; Abbott,
12: Hardy. I<>.
It is certain, as matters now stand, that
neither es these candidates can get the
nomination. It is thought the adjournment
to Dallas will help Burke, whose home is
here.
The adoption of a 16 to 1 silver resolu
tion by the convention created some in
dignation among the Cleveland people of
Dallas. They held an indignation meeting
tins afternoon and passed resolutions de
nouncing their delegation for voting for
it.
The People Are Prosperous.
