He will be respited by Governor Brown over into Governor-elect Sla ton's term. the poisoning of Fred Flanders, he has repeately be$n respited by Gov ernor Browp, and it was learned to day upon authoritative information that this course will be followed again. Governor Brown has refused to let Dr. McNaughton go to the gallows until there no longer remains any doubt of his guilt. He has announced right along that he does not propose to permit an innocent man to hang. When it appeared possible that addi tional evidence might be brought out bearing on McNaughton’s guilt or in nocence, the Governor promptly granted a respite. Trial of Widow Delayed. This he did again and again until it was thought that the matter would be settled definitely one way or the oth er when the trial of the widow of Flanders, charged with complicity in the murder, was concluded. The trial was scheduled to have begun yester day, but again was unexpectedly post poned—this time until July—because of the absence of material witnesses. It immediately became a question of what was to be done with Mc Naughton, who was doomed by the terms of his respite to go to the gal lows next month. Those who had been acquainted with the Governor’s attitude in the matter before did not doubt w hat his action would be. In respiting McNaughton on the other occasions, the Governor did so an the expressed determination that the condemned man should be given e\ery opportunity to benefit from any of the disclosures of the Flanders trial. Case to Go to Slaton. There was no reason to believe that the Governor would retreat from his former stand. There has been no suggestion of a comutatiori of McNaughton’s sentence. The Governor has not wished to go into v tjje merits of the case as they stand, but has based his clemency on the possibilities of future develop ments.

Atlanta detective® to-day identified a couple under arrest in New York as Herbert Mann alid Mrs. R. E. Thix- ton, wanted here accused of a $500 check swindle at the Piedmont Hotel, where they posed as wealthy tourists and the woman made an elaborate show of handsome diamonds. Mrs. Thlxton, as she was know'n here, attracted much attention during her stay in the Piedmont by reason of her gems and stylish gowns. She is said to have worn a hat valued at nearly $100. Mann, accused as her accomplice, but who apparently had no acquaint ance with the woman while in the hotel, spent money lavishly. The couple were in Atlanta in Jan uary. They duped the hotel through worthless checks. The woman had more than $2,000 worth eff diamonds on deposit in the hotel safe for safe keeping, but. had withdrawn these and It ft before the forgeries were dis covered. Spe-cial Detective T. T. Kyle, of the Piedmont, took the trail of the couple and followed them through several cities, but finally lost them in Cincin nati. He found that they had reg istered in Knoxville and in Cincin nati. In Louisville, he found that the wo man had lleeced the Henry Watter- son Hotel of $75, but her male com panion was not known there.

Photographs and descriptions accompanied the notice, and these were positively identified by Detective Kyle and officials and attaches of the Piedmont. They will not be returned to At lanta immediately, as Demopolis, Ill., put in a claim for them ahead of At lanta. They are wanted there for the same kind of job as at the Pied mont.

CONE, Inc., “A Good Drug Store’’—(Two Stores)—Atlanta. Aroused by the recent actions of her husband’s parents, Mrs. A. H. Clark, mother of Augustus Hamilton Clark, Jr., to-day changed front and declared that, instead of withdraw ing the prosecution against Mrs. G. S. Clark, charged with kidnaping, she will push it to the end. Solicitor Dorsey, acting upon Mrs. A. H. Clark's assertions, early this afternoon ordered the arrest of Mrs. G. S. Clark on the indictment charg ing kidnaping. The elder Mrs. Clark, in custody of Deputy Miner, was brought into the Sheriff's office at 2 o’clock and held pending the efforts of her attor ney, Howard Green, to secure the $1,000 bond necessary for her re lease. Claims She Obeyed Son. While under arrest Mrs. Clark maintained that she acted only at the behest of her son, Augustus Hamilton Clark, and said she did not fear prosecution. Augustus Hamilton Clark. Jr., the 2-year-old bone of contention, is now at his mother's home. 156 Richardson Street, and his mother declared he would stay there. In spite of all that the child’s grandparents could do. Willful slander on the part of her husband’s parents and their refusal to divulge the whereabouts of their son so that his wife may have an un derstanding with him are the reasons given by Mrs. Clark for her new de- terminatlen. She Plans to Retaliate. "I intend to push the kidnaping charge just as hard as I can,’’ said Mrs. Clark this morning. "I have not been treated right in this matter at all, and I intend to make those peo ple suffer. My child's grandparents have given out statements to the newspapers attacking my character that are untrue in every respect.” Mrs. Clark, against whom the in dictment has been sworn out, still maintains her belief that she had a perfect right to take the child away, and says, furthermore, that both her son and her daughter-in-law con sented to give her the child outright. In talking of the case she displayed a certificate signed by her son, Au gustus H. Clark, before a notary pub lic, vesting in her dll his rights and authority as father of the child. Tht certificate Is as follows: "March 28. 1913. "To Whom It May Concern: ’’This is to certify that my mother, Mrs. G. S. Clark, has my full permis sion to carry my son, Augustus Ham ilton Clark, Jr., away from Atlanta, V and that I hereby give to her all the authority vested in me as his father under the law. “AUGUSTUS H. CLARK. "Sworn to and subscribed before me this, the 28th day of March, 1913. "RUSSELL T. HARRALSON, “Notary Public, Fulton County." Mrs. Clark says that, despite the fact she believes she has a perfect legal right to the child and that the child’s mother is not capable of taking care of the little fellow, she will not make any 1 legal fight to regain pos session. She says she believes it will be only a short time before her daughter-in-law will be ready to turn the boy over to her. Wilson Can't See Cause for War Talk Declines to Meet California Delega tion Favoring Anti-Alien Land Legislation. WASHINGTON, April 1».—Agina tion, either at home or abroad, will not move President Wilson into the admission that there is any reason for a war scare in the Japanese situa tion. He emphasized this to-day when he declined to meet a delegation of Cal ifornians v ho favor anti-alien land legislation. Through Secretary of State Bryan the President to-day re quested Governor Johnson, of Cali fornia. to use all his influence to pre vent the passage of any antl-a!ien land law through the Callforniar«l*e£- islature without due deliberation $nrd consideration of the consequences. The text of the message to Govern or Johnson was not divulged, but it is known that it was an emphatic appeal to prevent any hair-trigger action by the Legislature, not because the United States fears a war with Ja pan, but to prevent possible diplo matic complications. 12,000 LIVERPOOL DOCK LABORERS ON STRIKE Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
