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.” STATES’ FIGURE CUT IN HALF.
