Editor, Wounded by the Lieu- tenant-Governor, Suc- sumbs to His Wound in Spite of His Physician: “CONVICTION IS IMPROBABLE. ‘Records of the South Show that Similar Acts Are Not Likely to Be Held to Account by the Law. » (Gpectal to The Evening World.) * COLUMBIA, 8. C., Jan. 19.—Lieut.- | Gov. James H. Tillman's victim, N. G. Gonzales, is dead. Since the pullet was shot into his abdomen last Thursday there has been no real hope that the brillant editor could survive. He sank steadily and the end came at 1 o'clock this afternoon. His death fans again to fever heat ithe bitter feeling against Tillman, who is still locked eafely in jail. It is. not Ukely that any attempt will be made to lynch him, for his high position in the State Administration means that he would be defended by the entire armed force of the State and the undertaking is too great even for the aroused friends of Gonzales. Tt would mean a shocking amount of ‘bloodshed, and as there 1s no chance of getting at the murderer by stealth the pellet here is that he will eventually be Permitted to stand tria and go free, in all probability. Sympathy with Gonzales. While the shooting was the outgrowth of a bitter political quarrel between the two men, and Gonzales had without question attacked Tillman with the -greateut--vitiperation, the Lieutenant. Governor has few sympathizers in South Carolina outside of the machine with which he and his uncle, the Senaotr, are identified, It is not so much the killing itself‘ which hax aroused South Caro- Uinlans, but the manner in which Till- man accomplished it. His act was that ot a coward, and this offends tho State's sense of pride in courage. Tho political campaign which bad called forth the attacks of Gonzales jn his capacity as editor of The State , ha been over some months. There had been threats on Tillman's part that be would kill the newspaper man for the harsh words of criticism he had written about him, but time had passed and nothing had happened, People be- gan to think that the trouble was over. Certainly Gonsales had no eus- Piclon that he was likely to be attack for although he knew the Lteutenant- Governor was in town he did not go armed to meet him. Act Was Unprovoked, Tillman had been presiding at a ses- sion of the State Senate, He left the Capitol and walked up the principal -street of the town. He met Gonzales coming from the ather direction. As they drew abreast the gallant Lieute: ant-Governor, without a word of warn- ing; drew hig revolver from his pocket and, placing it against the body of the editor, fred. ee Gongales staggered back with a look of hate and defiance in his face. ‘Till- man raised his weapon as though to ‘ again. ot, you dirty coward! shoot the wounded man as he rr ground, Tillman wiped his revolver on the sleeve of his coat and, walking to the office of the Sheriff, surrendered himself. Gonzales was carried by several of his friends to his office, which he had just Jeft; and then was ‘removed to his ome. The best surgeons in the Btate Were summoned, and later Dr. W. Gill Wylie was called from New York. ‘The: ave him all the skill they possease: ut his intestines had been perforated ied Pia teats on operation was per: rmed, it was hopeless practically, their patient died. gad TALan Defant, From his prison cell the Lieutenant- Governor maintained all along and does Still, maintain his deflant attitude. ‘hen it was said that there was a bare mance that Gonzales might recover, @ murderer publicly regretted that he id° not killed him outright and go ied another stalin to his already be- gmirched character, ‘A wave of indignation swept over the gisic, when the news of the crime got roadcast, and there was at once talk ot lynching, but Gov.

Marconi Sends It by Wireless: Telegraph from Cape Cod and‘Is Surprised by the Word that It Was Received in England. (Special to The Evening World.) WELLFLEET, Mass,,.Jan, 19,—Barly to-day Marcon! and his assistants, Kemp, Taylor and Bradfield, were enthused at the unexpected success of getting a message across the 3,000 miles of ocean from here to Poldhu hours before they had thought it possible to send signals across, During the night a despatch was received from President Roosevelt to be sent to King Edward as soon as the system was in working order, and Marconi to test the sending apparatus practised sending the message with- out having attempted to oall up the Poldhu station, Then having the President's despatch at band and thinking that he might not be able to get the English station for a day or so he decided to send by the way of Table Head. He did so, calling up the ‘Table Head station. Marconi then directed the opérator at Table Head Station to forward the message to England, but he was immediately astonished by the reply from Cape Breton, which was to the effect that he had just been informed by the station at Poldhu that the message had been received direct from Wellfleet. Marconi said he had no thought of Poldhu getting the message when he first tried the sending appartus with it, but he was none the less well pleased, Asked if he expected to get a reply from the King to the President, he sald one might come, but not direct, as be was adjusting ‘his instruments for w test of sending to Wngland, and did not want to upset his plans just at this time by making any attempts at receiving from England. It King Edward replies py wireless the message would probably come by the way of the Table Head station The time of the transmission of the message was about four minutes Marconi said at nooOn to-day that ne might be able to do some sending to- night. Marcon! said that the President's message was the first and only mes- e sent by wireless from here to England thus far, Aside from the mes- sage not a signal had been sent direct. “Glorious Trip at Lightaing Speed” Tole le the experince of @ recent patron of the Ponnsyivenia hours to with every comboit te ad WHEN POOL-ROOM IS RAIDED Sixty women were in.a pcol-room in the St. James Building, Twenty-sixth street and Broadway, at 2 o’clock this afternoon when detectives from the Central Office raided the place.
