PROGRESS OP THE
TILLMAN TRIAL
Newspaper Man Was
Placed on the Stand
Yesterday
THE LND NOE YET IN SIGHT
vO
The Case Will Not Go to the Jury
Before the Latter Part cf Next
Week—Doctors on Stand
Yesterday.
Lexington, S. C., Oct. I.—ln tlie
Tillman trial today,'the evidence of
physician who attended Editor Gon
zales during his illness was resumed.
August Kohn, who was on the stand
when court recessed yesterday, was
the first witness today. Mr. Kolin
stated all that he knew abouttlie ditli
culty existing between Tillman and
Gonzales. He said that Gonzales had
told him that he did not send a mes
sage to Tillman.
Dr. ,1. W. Babcock, superintendent
of the State insane hospital, saw Gon
zales as he lay on tiie floor in The
State otiice. He described the location
of the bullet wounds, and gave the
opinion that it was indicated that tlie
body of a man receiving such wounds
was on the point of turning. Dr.
Ilabcock also saw Gonzales at the hos
pital just after he was received there.
Gonzales, he said, made a statement
to him, which lie took down in long
hand notes. Heading from his notes,
lie said, the following were the words
of Gonzales as near as he could take it
down:
“lie had one man with him. who
w is a particular friend of his, Talbird;
another man whose face 1 did not ob
serve. I started for the state house,
as usual. As I got to tlie comer of
Gervaisstreet, I recognized Tillman.
I knew if 1 kept on, I would collide
yvjllißmii. as they wyte three abreast
both on the outside. I cut diagonally
to the left, intending to turn the cor
ner into Gervais st reet, which I could
have done without touching the inside
m :n. As 1 got on the turn, two or
Uiree feet from the exact corner, he
said, pulling a pistol, or had it in his
s eeve, fired and made some expression,
l’he shock threw me around against
the pillar on Main street. I faced him.
He pointed the pistol, so i called him
a coward. He said: ‘I took your ad
vice,’ or something to that effect; lie
put the pistol in ids pocket and saun
tered into the street. I never sent
him a message. He said, ‘I have
taken you at the word.’ I supposed
lie referred to something I said in an
editorial in the campaign. He said
this after he fired. I had no idea of
meeting him. 1 had seen him two
days before in t lie lobby of the house.
Tlie tiling was finished as far as I was
concerned.”

Happy .Day for Ruth Bryan
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1. Tliis was a
happy day for Miss liutli Bryan, lti
the first, place it was her eighteenth
birthday, the day on which she lie
conies her own mistress, and naturally
a day of rejoicing for any young wo
man* lint a still more potent cause
contributed to t lie happiness of Miss
Bryan. It, was the eve of her wedding
day, for tomorrow she is t o become t lie.
bride of William llomer Leavitt, an
artist who came out from the East
and won the heart of t lie fair Western
girl while painting the portrait,of her
father, Colonel Bryan.
The happiness of Miss Bryan is not
lessened in looking forward to tlie fe
licitous event of tomorrow, by con
templating what might have been, for,
as has become publicly known, both
Col. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan were at
first opposed to their (laughter’s wed
ding, and in fact stoutly refused to
give their consent. The principal
cause of their opposition was t lie void li
of Ihe brido-to-lie. But Miss Bryan
inherits the firmness and strength of
character possessed by her father, and
after vainly trying to get her parents'
consent, boldly announced that with
or without, it, she was determined to
marry the man of her choice on I he
v ry day she became her own mistress.
