E Bob Adamson, Former At- Reportto Governor Slaton Rec- Attorneys for Accused Woman News Received by Wireless by ommending Physician’s Full Pardon After Carefully Con sidering Application Made Plea After Plea for Postponement-Judge Ham mond Overrules Each A full and complete pardon for Dr. W. J. McNaughton, the Swainsboro phy sician, who ie now in the Chatham county jail under sentence of death on October 5 for the murder of Fred Flan ders, of Emanuel county, has been rec ommended to Governor Slaton by the state prison commission. Commissioner T. E. Patterson does not agree with the recommendations of the other two commissioners, Chairman R. E. Davidson and E. L. Rainey. He has sent along with the commission's recommendation to the governor his views on the case, in which he favors a commutation to life imprisonment for' Di. McNaughton. Under the^Jaw^a decision reached by two ‘members of the commission forms its report and there is no such thing as a minority report. However, Judge Patterson desired that the governor be acquainted with his position on the case and tor that reason he drafted a mem- f oranaum outlining his views.* The McNaughton case is one of the most famous in the history of the state. In the spring of 1910 Fred Flinders, a well known farmer and bus iness man of Covena. Emanuel county, died under suspicious circumstances. Dr. McNaughton, Flanders’ family phy- eican. Mrs. Mattie Flanders, the wire ot tne dead man. were indicted for mur der, it being contended that because of their alleged illicit relations they had entered into a* conspiracy to kill Flan ders, and that Dr. McNaughton had ad ministered arsenic in the form of pu. scriptions. McNaughton was convicted of mur der and sentenced to hang. He ap pealed to the supreme court which af firmed the verdict. Then he took an appeal to the United States supreme couit with the same result. An extra ordinary motion for a new trial was made and declined. In the meantime the case against .~rs. Flanders was not pressed. Court after court was held and no effort was made to bring her to trial. Governor Brown, acting upon the recommenda tion of the prison commission, several times respited Dr. McNaughton in or der that Mrs. Flanders might be put on trial before the prison commission took up Dr. McNaughton’* etitioiv for clemency. Last July the case against Mrs. Flinders was nol prossed by the Emanuel county superior court, afte" which pr. McNaughton applied for a pardon. --- - TWO DEAD IN BOILER EXPLOSION ON CRAVEN Wrecked^ Torpedo Boat Is Towed Into Savannah and Casualties Announced SAVANNAH.

Thaw, prisoner today* of Sheriff Drew, assumed this afternoon the familiar aspect of uncertainty and delay. Counsel working for and against his return to Matteawan agreed not to arraign him before a police magistrate until 4 p. hi., and then to adjourn the case until fcftnorrow.

Sept. 11.—Mrs. Phoeba Wright, sevnty-five years old, today j faces a prison sentence that may cover) the remainder of her life. Mrs. Wright and Miss Pearl Kelly, twenty-two years old, were accused of killing Frank Lynch last June and a jury last night rourned a verdict convicting both of manslaughter. Lynch was found shot dead in the yard behind Mrs. Wright’s house. The defense was that the shoot ing was accidental. BY HAROLD W. BOSS. Journal Staff Correspondent. MILLEN, Ga.. Sept. 11.—After the defense had waged a strenuous but fu tile three hour and a half fight for postponement of the trial of Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee, accused of the murdrr of her divorced husband, Judge Walter S. Godbee, and his bride, formerly Miss Florence Boyer, Thursay morning a jury was selected in the record time of one hour. When court adjourned at 12:30 o’clock Solicitor General Robert Lee Moore was ready to begin the pre sentation of evidence by which he ex pects to obtain a conviction. In asking a delay Attorney T. F. Saf- fold. chief counsel for Mrs. Godbee. contended he had not had sufficient time to assemble the evidence in favor of his client, nor to examine thorough ly into the merits of her case. He also said that Congressman, Thomas W. Hardwick, chosen at the last moment to represent the accused woman, was unable to be present. Later he attacked the legality of the grand jury which indicted the defendant and of Solicitor Moore on the grounds that the act of the legislature passed a few weeks ago transferring Jenkins county from the middle judicial circuit to the Augusta circuit was in violation of the constitution. His efforts to gain a delay were in vain, however. Judge H. C. Hammond overruled all motions and demurrers without even hearing arguments\from the prosecution against it. Mrs. Godbee surrounded by her law yers. relatives and friends, and with her young daughter constantly by her side, sat through the morning appar ently imperturbed. The state, as was rumored, based the trial on the indict ment charging the defendant with kill ing Mrs. Florence Godbee. No matter what is the ^outcome of this case, it is said, she must face a jury ag^in for the slaying of her former husband. A crowd wMch filled every available seat in the court room and overflowed Into the aisles heard the first half- day’s session of the trial. Half a dozen automobiles and scores of buggies and wagons were parked in the vicinity of the court house. THOSE WITH ACCUSED. Mrs. Godbee came into court promptly at 8:30 ‘clock in the custody of a deputy sheriff. Her face showf^_jjo.^mopuitL. was dressed all in^white. She took a seat among several women relatives who had preceded her to the scene. Thesfe were: Mrs. T. F. Bargerson. Mrs. W. L. Bar gerson. sisters: Mrs. Annette Leonard. Mrs. F. M. Godbee and Mrs. W. K. Gort- bee, daughters-in-law: Miss Sarah God bee. her daughter: two friends. Mrs. H H. Perkins and Mrs. F. W. Perkins: her j son. King Godbee. also were present. W. B. Boyer, a brother of the slain Mrs. Godbee. occupied a seat inside of the railing around the desks of the principals. As soon as court opened At torney Saffold announced that the coun sel wanted time to confer with the de fendant This was granted by the judge. The principals then resumed the wait for the return of the defense lawyers. The court room was taxed to its ca pacity. A third of those present wer^ women w^o evinced intense interest. At 9:25 o’clock the three attorneys, accompanied by Y. E. Bargeron and Charles G. Reynolds, two more lawyers who. it was announced had been added to the defense, returned to the court room. Judge Saffold announced that he de sired to move for a continuance and pre sented a motion, which evidently had been drawn during the consultation. He read it to the court. SAYS DEFENSE WAS DELAYED. It set forth that preparations for the funeral of Judge Godbee following the shooting and the lingering death of Mrs. Godbee’s second victim had occu pied the attention of her two sons and that they had been delayed in making preparation for her defense; that when they finally hdd found the time to plan for her representation that Judge Saf fold had been called in, and that he had done all in his power to prepare an adequate defense for the defendant, but had not had a “sufficient or a reason able time.” The motion contended that the cir cumstances upon which the defense planned to make i‘s case were hard to assemble and that not enough time had been allowed for the woman’s represen tatives to get in communication with important witnesses to her side. It de clared *hat not until the present week had Mrs Godbee’s counsel become aware of the testimony of C. L. Schaff, who. it was stated, could testify that Judge Godbee had made a threat to kill his former wife, and that he had been re strained from carrying it out by SchafT. It said that a subpena for a Mr. Dukes, who could testify that Mrs. God bee’s presence at the house without her daughter on the morning of the tragedy was purely an accident, remained un served. The motion also contained the infor mation that Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick had been retained by friends and relatives of Mrs. Godbee in Wash ington coun‘y. It was impossible for him to be present, it stated. “On account of serious and varied criminal acts happening in this county during the last few days.” concluded the < motion,“a state of high public sentiment I exists and the rumors if somebody was ! not convicted there was no telling what | would become of the county, and that this defendant alleges ‘hat a trial at ! this time means that her right to a fair and impartial trial guaranteed un- der the contstitution is virtually taken from her.” Attorney SafTold followed the reading: of the motion by a few remarks, which contained the declaration: “We contend that this woman has committed no crime—that she is morally justified in the eyes of God and man/’ ; When the defense attorney completed j the reading of the motion Judge Ham- j mond asked the state if they desired to make any comment. Solicitor General Moore arose and moved simply that the motion be overruled. The judge did so speaking briefly on the motion. He was in receipt of a telegram from Mr. Hardwick, stating that he could not be present, he. said, but he did not con sider that, .combined with the other points made by the defense, sufficient to warrant delay. lantian.

LONG TEXAS DROUTH on BIFLED0F5M Officials of Company Refuse to Talk, but Savannah Bank er Confirms News of Rob bery in Which Bank Lost (By Associated Press.) SAVANNAH. Ga.. Sept. 11.—Probably the greatest robbery in the history of the Southern Express company came to light ln Savannah yesterday morfftng when a sealed safe supposed to contain *71.900 ln currency consigned to Sa vannah, Brunswick and Valdosta banka was opened here and found to be empty.

McCauley, the president of the Savannah Bank and Trust company, confirms the loss of the *50,000. It was shipped out of New York on Monday on train No. 89 of the Atlantic Coast Line rallroa<r and should have reached hero yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. When the sealed steel trunk in which It wae supposed to have been shipped wae open ed It was found that the money had dis appeared. “All that I know about it," aatd President McCauley, “is that the money was started to us from New York and that it never reached here."
