CLAY AGAIN DOOMED TO DIE For u second time within four montits, Robert L. flay, found guilty of the murder of ills wife, Mrs. Katie Clay, on June 26, faced Superior Judge Roan this afternoon to receive sentence of death. The court decreed that Clay should hang in the Tower on December 13, Friday between the hours of 10 and 2. From the time he came into court at 1 o'clock until the judge passed his second sentence, the prisoner wore the same expression of imbecility be has assumed since the night he shot his wife down In the home of his sister in-law, at 201 Lee street. Clay sat with his mouth open and his eyes star ing, apparently unmindful of the pro nouncement of the court. Three alienists appointed by the court at the request of the prisoner's attorney during his trial to test Clay’s sanity hnd asserted that his whole attitude was a consummate bit of acting, For months, they said. Clay had played the role of insanity without a flaw in his acting. To Ask Commutation. The second sentence came because the prisoner's attorney, William M Smith, decided at the last moment to throw his client's fate with Governor Brown rather than the supreme court. His original intention was to carry Clay’s ease to the high tribunal, and this Intention stayed the execution of the first sentence on July 26. Attorney Smith said this afternoon that he would file his client’s applica tion for commutation of sentence with the prison board on Monday, pleading Insanity. He said that he was firmly convinced that the alienists had erred in their judgment that Clay was sound of mind. "No man,” said Smith, “could play insanity consistently for five months. Clay has been insane from the very moment he went to Mrs. Hughes' house and tired the three shots which killed his wife."

L. Wiggins, the young Atlanta aviator, declared today that he would attempt a flight again. Mrs. Galbraith Rodgers, widow of the famous coast-to-coast flyer, declared today that after Wiggins’ display of skill and nerve yesterday she did not 1 hesitate to rank him among the first aviators of the land," and I’ll trust him with my machine under any sort of conditions,” she said emphatically. Motor Going Full Speed. "It was simply a battle between a i man and the elements,” said Mrs. ' Rodgers, "and though the elements won, I consider it a moral victory for the man. "Mr. Wiggins had risen easily, and, mounting about 5,000 feet, headed the machine for Ponce DeLeon. The wind ; was blowing fiercely, but he made fair- I ly good time until he reached a point I just over the eapitol. There the wind I was so strong tlint the motor refused to ■ budge the aeroplane. He could have shut off his power and made a descent, but if he did this he likely would have « recki d the machine. "Instead of doing this, he fought the wind. For an hour he remained aloft 1 with 1:1; motor g dug at full speed and the machine as motionless as the rock of Gibraltar. Finally he was compelled to go with the wind. Time and time i again he tried to make landings, bul eael; time the blast wus too strong. He : had be n carried ten miles before he i finally succeeded in coming to earth. I "His whole action was cool and well I planned, but he didn't lack the nerve, either. He telephoned me today that j he was ready to try again, and if the I wind will permit he will go through the | air from the Speedway to Ponce De | Leon." i TWO GEORGIANS TO ATTEND MEETING OF RAIL BOARDS Chairman Murphey Candler and Rate I Expert Prince WHisier, of the railroad commission, will attend the meeting of the National Association of Railway Commissioners to be held in Washing ton on November 19.

Burns' detectives in an effort to find trace of Robert Dunbar, Jr., four years old, blue-eyed son of the millionaire owner of the Dun bar Packing Company, New- Orleans, who is believed to have been kidnaped and for whom a reward of $6,000 has been offered by the distracted father. The whole Atlanta police department today also was asked to join In the hunt. It being thought that possibly the missing boy may be imprisoned some where in this section. Special search is being made for a mysterious, styl ishly dressed woman, who was seen leaving Louisiana with a little boy of the same description as the missing Dunbar heir. So far, however, the combined ef forts of the Burns' men and local police and detectives have failed to unearth the slightest clew. The little fellow disappeared the lat ter part of August while members of the family were camping at Swazle Lake, near Opelousas, La. He wan dered away from the camp one morn ing, and since that time nothing has been seen or heard of him. All lakes and rivers in that section have been dragged without success, and finally information was obtained by William J. Bums that developed the kidnaping theory and caused him to bestir activity in Atlanta. with derricks. A relief train from Car tersville was hurried to the scene and the injured were taken to that city for medical attention, while the dead were turned over to undertakers to be pre pared for burial. Because of the wreck it was neces sary to detour all W. & A. and L. & N. trains, except those of the Blue Ridge line of the latter road, which leave the W. & A. at Marietta, south of Ac worth. The late afternoon and night L. & N. trains to and from Knoxville and the north were routed over the Seaboard Air Line between Cartersville and Atlanta. Those of the W. & A. to and from Chattanooga and Nash ville were sent over the Southern’s tracks between Atlanta and Dalton.
