CLAY IPPEJL EDA PM BEFOSEDBY COVEMOR 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 to tenth on Muy 1. lasL ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1912.

In twenty thousand Atlanta homes there are boys and girls busily plan ning for Christmas, wheedling fathers and mothers into promises of gifts es pecially desired and making lists of presents to be sent equally fortunate little cousins and friends. Some of them, children of the fash ionable streets, will be satisfied with nothing short of gold watches or dia mond rings. Hundreds have set their hearts on bicycles or ponies or a newly furnished room for their "very own," There will be dozens of automobiles given to young scions of wealthy fami lies; dozens of electric coupes for debu tante daughters of the rich. > It is to be a Christmas of luxury, a season of txc.wagance. - Already the shopping streets are filled with hurry ing purchasers, already the show win dows are being stripped of their choicest offerings. Homes That Fortune Forgot. But there are other homes —hundreds and hundreds of them —where the only Christmas planning is for another bushel of coal —for another week's rent. There are homes where the father has earned nothing for many weeks, where a widowed mother has been struggling through the year to provide tht bare necessities. They are not so far away from the homes of the fortunate, for Atlanta has no clearly defined “slum district.” Some of them may be just around the corner from your own resi dence. There are many not a flve mlnutes walk away.

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
