Executive Considers the Case
Far Into Night, But Finds
No Cause for Action.
PRISONER FOUND SANE
IN THE FINAL INQUIRY
Governor Joseph M. Brown will not
interfere in the case against Robert
Lae Clay, sentenced to die on the gal
lows in the FuFton county Tower Fri
day of this week.
The governor, as he promised the
doomed man's sister and father, went
into the record of the case against
Clay exnaustively. He could find noth
ing in it byway of extenuating circum
stances.
To the executive mind, it appears as
if Clay’s crime was cold-blooded, ma
licious and premeditated murder. He
could find no justification for mercy or
clemency in the case.
Therefore, he authorized the an
nouncement that he will permit the law
to take its course Fritter.
Considers Case
Far Into Night.
Tim governor was deeply touched by
the petition made to him by Clay’s sis
ter and father Tuesday. The ease came
to Ujm direct twee.i the Irnwa-;4Ma
people concerned. It never has been
passed upon by the supreme court-—it
never has been referred to the prison
commission.
The entire responsibility was thrown
upon tile executive, and he sat far into
last night thinking of the case and
considering ir.
It was well after 1 o’clock today be
fore he definitely made up iiis mind
what his duty is.
t'lay must hang Friday, unless some
extraordinary circumstance arises in
the meantime to save him. And this
seems most unlikely. ■
“I can see no reason for interfering
in the Clay ease,” was the terse and
only statement the governor gave out
for publication.
That Robert L. Clay is feigning in
sanity: that his mental condition is
normal, and that he could break his si
lence if he would, is the finding of Dr.
James N. Ellis, alienist, who called at
the Tower today and made a thorough
examination of the wife slayer, doomed
to die on the gallows on Friday, De
cember 13.
Dr. Ellis made his examination fol
lowing a written request from Attorney
William M. Smith, counsel for the con
demned man. Similar reouests were
made of Dr. James B. Baird and Dr.
Samuel H. Green, who, witii Dr. Ellis,
examined Clay prior to his trial, the
first part of last June, and declared him
sane at that time. Whether these two
experts will make a further examina
tion has not been learned.
Dr. Ellis declined to give out a state
ment, but, in a report to' Jailer Broad
nax, immediately foil wing’ the exami
nation. he pronounced Clay’s mental
condition the same as it was when the
first examination was made.
Cell Floor Littered
With Cigarette Stubs.
He said the slayer’s plij-F.al condi
tion is not quite as good as at ‘i at time,
but attributed this to his long confine
ment, the constant mental strain under
which he is laboring, and the smoking
of cigarettes. Partly smoked cigar
ettes and matches in profusion were
found by the doctor on the floor of the
cell.
Clay’s pulse was found to be above
normal, but Dr. Ellis told Jailer Broad
nax this was due to suppressed ex
citement, anxiety and dread.
Asked by the jailer if he thought Clay
could break his long silence and speak.
Dr. Ellis replied that he could. He said
he was sure Clay’ Is sane, and d‘ at “the
attitude of silence is merely a feature
of the role Clay is acting."
Dr. Ellis explained that he thought,
as a matter of justice to the doomed
man, another examination should be
made, in order to determine Clay's men
tal condition at this time.
Clay did not utter a sound during the
examination. When told by Inside
Jailer Holierts to hold out his hand so
the doctor could feel his pulse, Clay
made no move. The Jailer then took
hold of •'lay’s wrist and placed It in
the doctor’s hand. Clay apparently
look no interest whatever in the pro
ceed I ngs.
If Clay is feigning insanity, im, in the
opinion of Jail officials, will collapse on
lie gallows ami break th>- silence he
ha» maintained since lie shot his wife

American League Meeting- En
livened Only by Rumors of
Many Trades and Deals.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—The directors of
the American league met tn the office
of the president. Ban Johnson, today,
awarded the 1912 pennant to the Boston
Red Sox, congratulated Jimmy Mc-
Aleer. president, and Jake Stahl, man
ager of the club, afitl then adjourned.
They met a few minutes later at the
Congress hotel and went into session as
a league.
Baseball men were thick about the
lobbies of the Congress. Among them
was Joe Tinker, shortstop of the Chi
cago Cube, who hopes to succeed Hank
O’Day in the trouble department of the
Cincinnati Reds next year. Behind Joe
a trail of lesser lights followed.
ft is whispered here that the Ameri
can league will be called on’to complete
the trade by which Murphy allows hie
old star to i to Garry Herrmann’s
club. President Navin, of the Detroit
Tigers, would not say that Corrldon
was involved in the deal, but he was
willing to Intimate It as long as the in
timating seemed to be reasonably good.
it was also asserted by every one
about the American league meeting, < x
cept the magnates themselves, of
course, that a condition of the trade
was the release of Frank Chance so
that tn<> former Cub pilot might become
helmsman for the New ' York High

FILL THE EMPTY STOCKINGS
Shall there lie a single empty stocking in Atlanta on Christ
mas morning?
Shall there be a single person in the richest city in the
South who can say Chrisrmas night, “I didn’t have my Christ
inas dinner?’’
It is up to you to decide these questions.
The Georgian is starting a Christmas fund, and with your
help no child will be without its Christmas joys and no unfor
tunate man or woman without a wholesome Christmas dinner.
Before any announcement was made of this plan, several
generous Atlantans subscribed to the fund. If you are in sym
pathy with it send your contribution to the Christmas editor
of The Atlanta Georgian.
The progress of the work and the plans for the distribution
of gifts will be printed in this paper day by day.
Prominent men and women who are continually being
called upon to aid charitable causes were quick to respond to

MARCHMAN CLANSMEN •
SWEAR OUT WARRANTS
aSHBTTRN, GA., Dec. 11,—The rurai
quiet of the peaceful Amboy district
has been transformed today to seething
excitement, following the second clash
of the week between the Cleghorn and
Marchman clans, in which Tan Cleg
horn and his brother, Marion were
grievously wounded by W. J. Cochran,
brother-in-law of Minnie Marchman.
the belle of Amboy, whose mysterious
death lighted the fires of feudal hatred
between the families.
Marion Cleghorn is dying from the
shots poured Into him from the gun of
Cochran. Tan Cleghorn has been"»hur.-
ried to his home, seven miles from Ash
burn. Peace vmrrants against #ight of
the Cleghorn brothers have been sworn
out by Cochran and L. D. Marchman,
his brother-in-law, and in the meantime
the kin and friends of the two factions
are figuratively sleeping on their arms.
Call for Doctors
To Attend Wounded.
Telephone messages this morning
from Amboy district, near the home of
the Cleghorns, called for doctors from
Ashburn, saying Marion Cleghorn is
growing rapidly worse. Tan is resting
easy.
After persistent persuasion on the
part of their friends here, Cochran and
Marchman agreed to swear out peace
warrants.
"My reason for objecting to this
step,” said Cochran, who did the shoot
ing yesterday. "Is that I have to admit
I am afraid of them, which is not true,”
Deputy O. B. Jarman placed five of
the eight Cleghorn brothers under ar
rest last night. Three of the five were
unable to make bond and are now tn
Turner county jail.
The two wounded men—Marion and
Tan Clegf'orn—were carried seven miles
to their home by Deputy Jarman late
last night.
One of Cleghorns »
Carrying His Gun.
One of the Cleghorns was seen late
last night at his home armed with a
shotgun.
“I have carried my gun constantly for
the last two days,” said he, “and I ex
pect to continue to do so."
Deputy Jarman is out after the three
Cleghorn brothers who were not ar
rested last night and expects to arrive
with them as prisoners this afternoon.
A warrant was also issued for J.
Brown, a relative of the Cleghorns,
from north Georgia, but he left imme
diately after the clash yesterday and
has not yet been located.
Cochran and Marchman are about
their work today, as if the clash had
not occurred. They are not the least
bit disturbed as to the outcome. They
will stand commitment trial before
Judge J. C. Fincher here tomorrow, at
which time they expect to be freed.
Second Outbreak
Os Week in Feud.
The shooting on yesterday 'grew
out of the recent mysterious death of
Minnie Marchman, sister-in-law of
Cochran, sister of Lee Marchman and
sweetheart of Tan Cleghorn.
Intense excitement prevailed In Ash
burn yesterday afternoon and last nigh*
following the second, outbreak of the
week of the feud, when Cochran, ac
companied by Marchman. shot Tan and
Marton Cleghorn, when they and two of
their brothers made a demonstration
toward Cochran and Marchman, who
were about to leave town for their
homes in Amboy district. After the
shooting Cochran and Marchman gave
themselves up. Officers took the •
wounded Cleghorns into custody. The
others hastened to their home in the
country, 1 where officers late last night
arrested five members of the Cleghorn
family. All were brqught to Ashburn
without show of resistance.
Sentiment here is largely with Coch
ran and Marchman.
Both Sides
Ready for Clash.
Cochran and ills brother-in-law, Lee
Marchman, came to Ashburn early jes
terday morning and were followed by
four of the Cleghorn brothera, who ap
p'hrently came purposely to get Coch
ran and Marchman.
The shooting took place at 2:lb
o'clock on one of the main alraata of
the city und was witnessed bj u duseu
