2 TRIAL OF WOMAN HOLDS FATE OF M'NAUGHTON i Crime for Which Physician Is, Doomed One of the South’s Greatest Mysteries. Continued Pram Page One W>nr>*-suinert triangle of two net. an-.'a a woman is the only cause suggeateia for Fred Flanders' death. But thougi® the charge Is that the woman was 11,1 a faithful to the man to whom she ha<j| pledged her life, her loyalty to tlv’JS man accused of robbing her of herl helpmate has been constant, unwaver- a Ing. Never in Dr. McNaughton’s dark- fl est hours has the woman suggested his | guilt. She has contended strongly and 1 convincingly that he is the victim of a chain of circumstance or a sinister plot. I Mystery in Realtions Os Accused and Victim. Uhe relations between the Flanders couple and McNaughton have never been explained. Fred Flanders was a ; prosperous farmer of Emanuel county. . His kin are wealthy, numerous, prom •.lnent In politics. McNaughton was a , young, respected physician of Swains boro, the county seat of Emanuel. i McNaughton was the family physi- , cian of the Flanders couple, but he was more than that. He was the close personal friend of'Flanders. There Is the charge that the relation was even more intimate with the wife. The doctor wax a married man. t'hil dren had been born to the union. In 1908 Mrs. McNaughton died and then came the strangest, weirdest feature of the tragic story. Flanders and Hits wife abandoned their home on the farm and came to Swainsboro to live witli the physician. For two years they occupied the same house, they ate at the same table, thej had the same friends. Firmer friends were never known than the farmer and the doctor. There had been gossip, though, in reference to McNaughton and Mrs Flanders. The husband either did not hear it or refused to give it ear. On June 4, 1910, Flanders died sud denly. Dr. McNaughton, his physician, declared that his end was due to acute nephritis. Flanders was buried and McNaughton was at the grave's side. He showed emotion which was taken as a token of sincere grief for a de parted and beloved friend. Relatives Are Suspicious. The.story of acute nephritis was no* questioned— except by the Flanders family. They had heard the gossip connecting the name of McNaughton ' with that of the dead man's wife. Though the husband had refused to listen, they had given heed. When tlieir kinsman died suddenly their suspicions were aroused, and be fore the Howers had withered on the grave they had demanded an investiga tion. On June 7 the body was exhumed. An expert medical examination was de manded bv the relatives. An autopsy was performed and Flanders' stomach -was shipped to the state chemist for examination. A coroner’s jury had been Impaneled and these men await ed the verdict of the scientists. On July 111 the chemist reported. Dis tinct traces of arsenic poison had been found. The Flanders family was not slow to act. Warrants were sworn out and officers sent to the M< Naughton home. Mrs. Flanders was found there. She was placed under arrest. Mc- Naughton had disappeared. He had heard of the investigation and had de parted from Swainsboro. Feeling was high then against th< doctor. It was openly stated that lie had poisoned his friend In order to make the way cleur for him to obtain complete possession of his wife. A dragnet was spreau'over the entire state and in a day it brought results. Dr. McNaughton was traced to Augusta and immediately placed under arrest and a rubsequent report of the chemist showed that enough arsonic had been discovered to kill several men. Feeling High Against Accused. Feeling against the physician was running too high in Emanuel for his safe return there. The Flanders clan was up in arms. Hie death whh de manded. Pending his trial in the supe rior court of Emauuei county hi was held in the Chatham county Jail. Mur der was dial ged. The physician attempti-d to explain his Hight. He declared liiri -he knew the hatred the Flanders family bore him. He knew their influence in Eman uel. Mob Violence, he believed, would have imperilled him bad he not tied when he did. Under a joint ind.lctment, the doctor i and Mrs. Flanders were pmced on trial! October 17 ut Swainsboro. Then for' the first time and the only time there) seemed to be a difference between the * pair accused of the poisoning. Mrs.' Fiundrs’ counsel asked a severance* of th.- Indictment. They in-luted on a separate trial. Dr. McNaughton still feared th.- in fluence of the Flanders family. He did not believe lie could g v t a fa! trial In Emanuel county. His counsel urged a change of venue. His motion was de nied. H-- was forced to go to trial, while Mrs. Flanders' case was allowed to wait, pending a verdict for or against the principal. At the trial, though he made a spir ited defense, the chain of circumstances p.'oiej too strong. On October 19 he was found guilty and sentenced to hang", December 9. Psgins Great Legal Battle. Then began his remarkable legal bat k. t>■ IF fit • ■>, . . 1 trial. The motion was lost, but the ex ecution of the sentence was stayed. On December 15 he learned that Mrs. Flanders had been released on bail of $2,000. “She should never have been arrested." was his laconic remark. In Jajnuarj- of 1911 he appealed his case to the supreme court, but on July HI the highest Georgia tribunal sus tained tin McNaughton verdict of death on tile gallows. He still struggled desperately. He pleaded so- a new hearing in the su preme court on August 15. It was ra-- fused. Then he gave notice of appeal to the highest court of the nation. In January of tills year his case sud denly was withdrawn from the United States supreme court in order that lie might make an extraordinary motion for new trial in the Emanuel superior court. The nature of this motion was anx iously awaited, and on April 9 the phy sician was taken back to Swainsboro and resentenced. The date of the hanging was fixed for April 10. His ex traordinary motion was then heard. It was based on affidavits made by Mrs. Flanders and others that Flanders hail been in the habit of taking medicines not prescribed by hla physician rind that in this way lie may have received the arsenic. Last Card of Defense The defense then made another re markable proposition. The lawyers de clared they were ready to stand by the verdict if Mrs. Flanders were brought to trial and sentence should be stayed until a verdict could be returned in this case. Tlie motion was taken unde consideration. The court finally denied both mo tion and proposal, but counsel announc ed another appeal to the supreme court of Georgia. Once more the execution was stayed, on July 11. the supreme court sustained the judgment of the lower court, and McNaughton was re manded to the Emanuel county tribunal for resentence. But the doctor did not give up hope. While ills friends fought for a commu tation of tiie sentence to life imprison ment. lie calmly declared that he would never hang and his counsel announced they would once more try the United States supreme court. On October 22 he was once more ar raigned in Swainsboro, and heard the death sentence again passed. He had grown accustomed to it. He did not betray more emotion than would lie on having been instructed to eat eggs for breakfast. November 22 was fixed as the date of execution. Widow Must Be Tried. Then McNaughton'.- friends began tn work on the governor and the prison commission. They asked why the ease of Mrs. Flanders hail never been tried. They asserted that II this was done, McNaughton would be cleared. They insinuated that tiie political power of the Flanders family In Emanuel was blocking the trial. They declared they wanted McNaughton, an Innocent man, to go to the gallows. Governor Brown listened. He then Issued his pronunciamento that Mc- Naughton never would hang until Mrs. Flanders is tried. And that trial still hangs fire. Wheth er the executive order will force the trial of the widow, whether McNaugh ton ts allowed to languish in jail for an Indeterminate sentence, awaiting her hearing, whether a change of adminis tration finally will write the concluding chapter to the story remains to be seen. Tiie fact remains that McNaughton is supremely confident. He believes the issue will be . oread, that Mrs Flanders will be brought to trial, and when that is done lie once more will take his po sition us a respected physician of Geor gat New Hampshire Still in Balance < < i.Ni '< »RD, N.

NEVIN. One Georgia congressman, who does not wish iris named mentioned, but who does not mind being quoted otherwise, I mv * has his ideas about how the question of Federal pat-, runage should be! settled In tiie main in this state, now that a Democratii administration In Washington is as sured—that Is, he has his ideas about the postmaster ships, anyway. He thinks ap plicants should be referred to becortj.. candidates before the people of their respective locali ties just as they would become candidates for other offices. “1 believe a postmastershlp might be referred to the people affected with en tire propriety. If a certain man In Co lumbus, say—l select Columbus entire ly for example, of course—is a candi i date for postmaster, and he is opposed in that ambition by other good men. all being Democrats and qualified, why should a congressman be asked to de cide between them, when he may have no particular preference?" said this gentlemen today, discussing his idg-t. “It would be very Inexpensive to hold , a local election in any city wishing to settle the question of its postmaster ship that way—-and why, in perfect se riousness, wouldn't that l»e an ideal way to settle it? “if there is any virtue at all in popu lar elections to office, why not elect this Important official by popular vote? "I believe a referendum of the post mustetships would be an Ideal thing, and I hope to see the idea developed and put into practice generally. It would be thoroughly democratic, and it would relieve a congressman of the very great embarrassment of de ciding between a number of his friends and constituents at times when the congressman really may have no par ticular preference.” Governor Brown today was shown an editorial in Tiie Savannah News of re cent date, in which the governor’s farming ideas and ideals were warmly Commended. Among other tilings, The News said: Governor Brown, who for a long time lias had tiie reputation of be ing a first-class governor, has now established a reputation as a flrst ciass farmer. Having raised 15S bushels of corn on an acre he is in the position to claim that he is the state’s champion corn farmer. If reports are to be credited some of the members of the boys corn clubs have raised more corn than that this year on an acre, but we feel safe in saying that no farmer has done so. Governor Brown is proud of be ing a farmer, and it is well known that his farm In Cherokee county is one of the very best in the state. owing largely to the intelligent way in which It is managed. "That's fine,” said the governor, dis cussing The News’ editorial, "and i ap preciate the kind words of the Savan nah paper. "I want it understood, however, that T am not trying to start anything with tiie corn club boys—tiiere are any i numbet of those youngsters who can i beat me all to pieces farming. "I think I shall test conten; to be known as the champion governor farmer. If any other governor in the Union wishes to try conclusions with me In tiie noble art of farming, let him come on. In that respect, I cry, 'Lay on, MucDuff, and defeate I be lie who ( first cries, hold, enough!’ "But outside the circle of governors, i please do not think I am looking for ' competition in the farming business. ' "If I entered the lists with one oi ' those corn club boys, I am afraid he might get my goat, as they suy!" ’ Keeper of Public Buildings Pierce ! Butler Latimer is living warmly con gratulated because of the line work he has done in the matter of redecorating the capitol. It has been freshened up from one 11 emi to the other, and the interior dec<i- I’.utions are decidedly the pretties: and St that ever have '>■ en ma-... T’:i entire color scheme is in blown- and the effect is particularly pressing to tire eye. Mr. -Latimer planned’ all the work himself, apd has had it executed at comparatively small expense to the state. And the work was not done a rninuie before it Was needed, either! In all the elrcumstan. ee, and particu larly with the universally admitted ap pearance of things—or seeming appear ance of things—immediately preceding the recent presidential election in Geor gia in mind, some rather curious things happened, and the figures present sev eral interesting studies. In the first place, the combined Roosevelt and Taft vote within the state tills J ear was only 26,212, as against a Taft vote last time of 41,692. And in addition to the Taft vote in 19<i8, there was a Watson vote of 16,- 964. These two items made up a total 1908 anti-Democratic vote of 58,656 —more than double the opposition vote this year. And of the 26,212 votes east tn oppo sition to Wilson this year, surely some of them must be credited to Mr. Wat son's activity—say 6,212, anyway. This, then, would reduce the actual Republican allowing- Bull Moose and regular combined—to a mere 20.000. What became of the Republican vote in Georgia this year? Did Wilson get a large measure of it, or did a large measure of it stay at home? In 1908 Mr. TafJ carried two con gressional districts In Georgia, and 31 counties. This year he carried not one county. Mr. Roosevelt carried six. In four counties this year Mr. Taft failed to get a single vote, and in 32 more he got less than 10. In no county did Mr. Roosevelt fail to score, but in seventeen he failed to get as many as 10 vetes. Is it that Mr. Roosevelt was a more compelling influence in Georgia in 1908 when he backed Mr. Taft for the presi dency than he was in 1912 when he. offered himself to the consideration of voters? Or Is it that Georgians very greatly preferred Wilson to either Taft or Roosevelt? Or is it that Georgia gladly for Mr. Wilson that which it was disin clined to do for Mr Bryan in 1908? The most likely answer is that the Democratic nominee this year was more to Georgia's liking than any the party has offered in many days. Wilson Wins in Montana by 5,000 BUTTE, MuNT,. Nov. S. Returns to day' from 26 out of 31 counties assure that the Democratic national and state tickets, with the exception of state treasurer, have carried Montana.

Incomplete returng indicate that the Democrats will have a majority of twelve on joint ballot in the legisla ture. Idaho Still in G. O. P.

Every Number of the Monster Spectacle Staged by Elks a Genuine Hit. Front giand opera to a pony ballot, through a bewildering and gorgeous maze of symbolic, classic and modern dances, the first performance of Elks Ktrmess ran last night, going over the footlights and taking its audience squarely between the eyes. The entire performance and each number thereof was a decided hit. From the time the curtain rose on the military cotillion, the first number, until Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Lynwood closed the program with an extremely clever rendition of the Merry Widow waltz, there was not a dull moment. Each number was a surprise. Despite the fact that pnly a fair sized audience greeted the opening per formance an audience that would have filled the Grand but seemed lost in the barnlike Auditorium —each number was received with applause and each num ber deserved it. The pony ballet, chaperoned by Mrs. William J. Speer, and composed of a quintet of charming misses, Elizabeth and Amelia Smith. Janie Cooper, Fan nie Stevens and Lida Nash, proved a sensation. Time and time again tile young women were brought back. They are well trained and executed the en tire dance with a grace unexcelled by any professional ballet which has been in Atlanta this season. Cotillion Number a Hit. Tiie cotillion number was well re ceived and the number which followed it, the Silver Spray ballet, danced by more than 100 children, drew an ova tion. In tiie part of Titania, little Lau ra Lewis Lawhorn proved as graceful a fairy queen as one would care to see. "A Night In the Orient” was a de light and the dancing in this charming number was not excelled during the en tire program. Miss Vera and Miss Imogene Simril, who led a score of Yama Yama girls, the feature of the number, left nothing wanting in the manner of ginger, and be it remem bered a Yama Yama dance is nothing if not sprightly. A trio composed of Miss Janie Cooper, Miss Louise Brad ley and Eugene Trader scored a de cided hit in this number. The Indian chorus, a recital of the story- of Captain John Smith and Po cahontas, was well received. Miss Re gina Rambo in the role of Pocahontas won the instant approval of her audi ence with her pantomime in the open ing act. Japanese Ballet Scores. The Jap girl ballet was another strik ing number of the program aird drew rounds of applause. By tar the most pretentious number was "The Bohemian Girl,” in which the familiar scenes of tiie famous opera were rendered. Because of the illness of Mrs. Carthew-Yorstoun, Mrs. J. Ed gar McKee sang the role of Arline and triumphed in the singing “I Dreamt 1 Dwelt in Marble Halls.” Harry- Bick ford, Miss Alberta DeFour and Percy Lynwood also scored. Tiie spectacle called "The Vestal Vir gin or the Dawn of Christianity." a true Kirmess number, was featured by young women from Miss Woodberry’s school. In portraying the adoration of the vestal virgins, the girls gave an ex hibition of Dtdsarte rarely seen. Tn this number Mrs. MeKee sang an aria from Judith.

Orderly John Hoffman, of Company D, Seventeenth infantry, Fort McPher son. is receiving congratulations from liis army comrades on the capture of on officer's horse which dashed away yesterday on the parade grounds at the fort following Governor Etown’s re view of the infantrymen. 5 steed tethered at the end of the grounds just opposite the far end of the officer.-’ quarters broke his bridle and raced toward the cof/al several hun dred yards to the south. Another horse which, an officer had just dismounted and turned over to Orderly John Hoff man, of Company L», to lead away, tore the lines from the orderly's hands ami went down tiie field after the other. Then Hoffman dug his spurs into his own mount and went after the second speeding animal. Huffman hails from Indiana, where he learned to ride, and he is an excellent horseman. With every leap he gained on the steed and came tip with it at the corner of Com pany B's quarters. Tiie onlookers gasped as horses and rider grazed an oak tree that stood in the path.. Back of the men's quarters Orderly Hoffman nabbed the horse and turned it into the corral. Governor Rrown and his staff re viewed the troops and expressed satis faction to Major Edward N.

EXHIBITS DFGDBiV TDNUMBER3.OOO Girls Canning Clubs Will Have Displays in Addition at the Maize Show. With reports coming in to the Cham ber of Commerce from all of the Geor gia corn club district?, it was estimated today that about 3,000 individual exhib its will be placed in the state Capitol for the Georgia Corn show, December 3 to 6, inclusive. This will be more than double the number of last year. Tiie southwestern district has pron - ised 700 exhibits. Most of these are on display at the Tifton fair now. Then will be 500 from the Augusta distri and 427 from the northwestern district. These figures already are known. It i> estimated that the Atlanta district w. have 500, the Savannah district 390 ar the Columbus district 300. This make a total of 2,727. and does not take into account at all the exhibits of the girls canning qlubs, which will be an ex tensive and important feature of the show. G. E. Riee. agent for the corn club in the Augusta district, has written positively that, he would send here 500 exhibits from that section. Mr. Riee says he has some very strong exhibits, with a high average, the maximum for the district being 161.8 bushels raised at a cost of sixteen cents per bushel. This is a pretty good record and there will be very few to surpass it in the entire state. Augusta Boys Can't Come. Mr. Rice expresses deep regret that the dates for the Augusta Corn festival, which were fixed In advance of those of the Georgia Corn show, should conflict, because, he says, he will be unable on this account to bring the corn club boys from that district to Atlanta. De cember 4 is boys corn club day in Au gusta, the same day on which tiie Chamber of Commerce will tender a dinner to the corn club boys here. Dr. William Bradford, of Cedartown, corn club agent in the northwestern district, has written a letter promising definitely 427 exhibits from his district. The number of exhibits from .those counties where local contests have al ready been held will be as follows: Bartow county, 50; Chattooga, 50. Whitfield, 40: Gordon, 10; Polk. 30; Walker, 15; Dade. 6; Catoosa. 6. The number of exhibits from the fol lowing counties is estimated by Dr Bradford as follows: Haralson, 25: Paulding, 30; Floyd, 30: Murray, 10: Gilmer. 20; Pickens, 50; Cherokee. 25. With averages like these maintained by the other counties of tiie state, tin total is bound to go somewhere around 3,000, in addition to the Girls Canning club exhibits.
