Falls through the rich townships

witness a development that will
out-record anything in the past

TILLMAN IS ACQUITTED
FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
OF SOUTH CAROLINA NOT
GUILTY OF MURDER.
JURY OUT ABOUT TWENTY HOURS
DEMONSTRATION BY FRIENDS OF
DEFENDANT FOLLOWS THE
READING OF VERDICT.
Lexington, S. Oct. 16.The Jury
in the case of J. H. Tiilman, charged
with the murder of Editor Gonzales
has found him not guilty. The jury
announced at 10:45 that a verdict had
fceen agreed upon. The defendant and
attorneys were sent for and the. jury
then filed into the courtroom and the
verdict was read.
A demonstration followed the an
nouncement, friends of the defendant
giving vent to their feelings in a
shout. The court, previous to the
JAMES H. TILLMAN.
reading of the verdict, had admon
ished, the spectators to refrain from
any demonstration.
Counsel for defense moved the de
fendant's discharge from the sheriff's
custody. No objection being made by
the state the court made the order.
The jury was out about twenty
hours before returning a verdict. The
defendant shook hands with the judge
and members of the jury and left the
courtroom accompanied by his friends
and counsel.
First Ballot 10 to 2 for Acquittal.
Soon after the jury retired a ballot
was taken, the result being 10 to 2
for acquittal. After some deliberation
one of the two went over to the side
of acquittal, but it was not until about
twenty minutes before the jury sent
word to the court that an agreement
had been reached that the last man
voted for acquittal.
The wife and mother of the de
fendant, who have attended the trial
daily, were not in the courtroom when
the verdict was announced, but the
latter was on her way to the court
house, having heard the news, when
her son walked out and met her on the
street. His wife awaited him at the
hotel, having been informed of the
verdict in advance of his coming.
James H. Tillman, after his acquit
tal, made the following statement to
the Associated Press:
"I feel very grateful at the result
of the verdict, but at no time did I
apprehend any serious consequences.
I, of course, deeply regret the death
of Mr. Gonzales, but I was forced to
do what I did. I have never appre
hended a conviction, for I felt that I
did no more than any man would have
done under the same circumstances
and what I was compelled to do. My
position was fully stated in the testi
mony I gave on the stand."
USE THEIR CLUBS ON MOB.
Chicago Police Save Murderer From
Enraged Crowd.
Chicago, Oct. 16.James Expapas,
proprietor of a restaurant in Wells
street, shot and killed John Caszazza,
a teamster, who, he asserted, refused

Eyewitnesses declare that the shoot
ing was unprovoked.
The anger of the crowd in the street
was excited when Expapas, according
to the police, stood in the doorway
and fired two shots at the victim, al
ready wounded and dying5
on the side
walk. Threats were heard in the
crowd as it rushed towards the restau
rant and the man ran inside and
locked the door.
By this time three policemen had
arrived. They had to use their clubs
to drive back the crowd and secure
entrance to the restaurant. The offl
cers forced the door and seized Ex
papas who stood in the middle of the
room holding a revolver. The young
man was pale and as the policemen
started towards the door, outside of
which the crowd was still shouting for
revenge, he fainted and fell to the
floor. Later he was revived and taken
to the police station.

Paul Court.
St. Paul, Oct. 16.H. S. Tubbs of
Manchester, la., was fined $100 in po
lice court during the day for having

hind and two forequarters of venison,
five partridges and four black bass,
which he was in the act of shipping
out of the state when arrested by Dep
uty State Game Warden Boyd at the
Union depot.

Tubbs is a deputy under Chief Game
Warden Lincoln of Iowa.
The game, it appeared from Mr,
Tubbs* statement, was killed in Wis
consin and was being shipped to Iowa,
via Minnesota. Under the game laws
this makes no difference and, as Tubbs
pleaded guilty to having the game in
his possession, he was assessed the
minimum penalty for each deer, $50.
