Whon the Emanuel County Superior Court to-day postponed the trial of Mattie Flanders It again threw bark on the hands of Governor Brown the life of l>r. W. J. McNaughton. pr McNaughton is under sentence to hang for the murder by poison of husband of Mrs. Flanders. Governor Brown has repeatedly res pited Ur. McNaaigbton's sentence, stating that he would not permit him to be hanged until all possible doubt had been cleared by The trial of Mr* Flanders, also charged with complici ty In the same crime. Term Expires Before July. (fovemor Brown’s term of office will expire before the Flanders case Is taken up to July. fnless he takes action which will have effect after the expiration of his term. Dr. McNaughton will go to the gallows In May. It is possible for the Governor to commute Dr. McNaughton's sentence. ]t Is also possible for him to grant pnofher respite for such a term that Jlrs. Flanders will be tried before the execution. That, however, would put final action on the McNaughton case up to Governor John M. Slaton. Widow’s Trial Delayed. SWAINS BORO, GA„ April 18.—Mrs Mattie Flanders, charged with com plicity to the death of her husband, Fred Flanders, to the famous Dr. W. J, McNaughton poisoning case, will not be tried until the July term of Emanuel Superior Court. When her case was called at 8:45 I o, iock this morning it was continued because of the absence of material witnesses. All the veniremen who had been summoned for jury service were - dismissed and the continuance an nounced by Judge J. T. Rawlings. Mrs. Flanders left the court houjjp j with a disappointed look. Her fa- ih*r, who accompanied her here from tier home at Bartow for the trial, I openly expressed indignation at the delay. Both Mrs. Flanders and her father desired that the trial proceed »t this time without further postpone ment. The continuance was at the Instance of the State, the absent witnesses being for that side. Missing Witnesses Essential. Mrs, Flanders and her father will | teturn to Bartow this afternoon. The absent witnesses causing the I continuance are Dr. Houston, of Au gusta, and V. W. Brown, of Quitman. I ’lVie testimony of each is considered material. The court agreed to the j State’s contention to this respect. Dr. Houston was appointed by the court as an expart to make investigation as to the alleged arsenic poison that it I Is contended caused Flanders’ death. The defense acknowledges that his testimony Is material. Brown testi- I fled at the trial of Dr. McNaughton 'hat on passing through Covena he bad seen McNaughton and Mrs. Flan ders kiss and had also seen Fred Flanders carrying a torch at night to Ight the way for McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders, who walked behind j him. Mrs. Flanders Confident. Before court convened to-day Mrs | Flanders said: "There is no doubt of my acquit- I tal. I am innocent and expect to prove this. I do not want the case postponed or nolle prossed. I want i he trial to go on, so that I may be I vindicated in the eyes of the world. [ shall go before the Jury firm to the I conviction that after they hear all that the State can bring against me they will feel that I have committed no crime, and will bring to a verdict in my favor." The Impression is general {hat sev- • ral days will be consumed in the trial of the case. The trial will be one of the most expensive Emanuel County has ever had. The cost for jury service alone will amount to ap proximately $400. It is anticipated 1 that the minimum cost of the trial 'ill be $1,000.

April 18.—Owing to the fact that Seneca, a United States revenue cutter, and the Scotia, a British steamship, both on duty as ice patrol vessels in the region where the Titanic was lost last year, have been unable to find any ice in those waters, the principal trans-Atlantic steam ship lines already are operating their west-bound vessels over a lane 60 miles north of the course which has- been followed all winter. The absence of ice is accounted for by the mildness of the winter just ended. The most southerly Iceberg reported so far this spring was seen on March 28 by the Russia, of the Russian-American line, and was en countered 90 miles north of where the Titanic sank.

Outlaw, Slayer of 6, Is Shot to Death Desperado Killed After Two Depu ties Fall in Fierce Battle—Elud ed Capture a Year. A fight, begun by farmers of Geor gia, to prevent the re-election of E. L. Worsham, of Atlanta. State Ento mologist, and Dr. H. C. White, of Athens, professor of chemistry at the State University, as members of the Griffin Experiment Station staff, will come at the meeting of the board of directors of the station April 22. Agitation, fostered by communica tions from many Georgia farmers and pushed by agricultural papers, has brought the issue to an acute situa tion. The result will be an attempt to oust the two absentee members of the Griffin faculty when the board meets next week. The Southern Cultivator, of Atlanta, a farm publication, has been vigor ous in protesting against the reten tion on the station staff of men who are not at Griffin and "on the Job.” Both Paid by Station. Dr. White draws a salary of $1,800 from the station, while being em ployed by the University of Georgia. E. L. Worsham. State Entomologist, is on the salary roll of the experi ment station to the extent of $1,000 a year, while employed as State Ento mologist. This showing has been made by farmers to their communications to the agricultural press of the South, and is the basis for the organization of a faction which will present deter mined views to the board of direc tors next week, denouncing the em ployment of officials whose time is not spent in active attendance on their Jobs. The issue will be sprung when the directors go into the matter of elect ing a new staff. Much of its out come depends upon the attitude of Professor R. J. H. DeLoach, recently appointed director of the experiment station. He will be drawn into the fight, although he does not enter upon his duties until July 1, for the reason that the board, at Its last meeting, decided to permit him to suggest the persons who should to elected on his staff April 22. Will Respect His Wishes. The wishes of the new director, then, will be respected, according to the prevailing opinion, in view of the fact that the board has assured him of its purpose to enter into whatevei plans would be for the upbuilding of the station—an assurance which was given before he would permit his name to be used. The fight, its backers have declared, is not against Dr. White or Mr. Wor sham as individuals, nor against their fitness for their work, but against the principle of paying salaries to mem bers of the station staff who are nol continuously at the station and in oo-operation with the other members of the force.
