•Continued From Page One.
sentimental or hysterical turn of
mind, see nothing but the con
demned man in jail awaiting the
gallows. It has always seemed
strange to me that this class of
jveople devote so little thought to
the innocent victim whose body
lies beneath the sod, but yet such
is the nature of mankind. The
dead are soon forgotten, while
the living continue to occupy our
thoughts.
Fred Flanders was our young
est brother. I suppose there are
none who-.knew him who would
take issue with the statement-
that he was a kindly, Christian
t man. If he had ever done harm
to any one, 1 have never heard of
it. He would go out of his way
to do a kindness, and a harsh, un
kind word seldom, if ever, fell
from his lips. While no children
had been born to him and his
wife, yet they lived happily. Into
this happy home crept a viper,
and the result we all know.
Do Not Doubt Her Guilt.
We wish particularly to cor
rect the statement so often made
in the public press of late that
the Flanders family conceded the
innocence of Mrs. Flanders. We
do not for a moment doubt her
guilt, much less do we concede
It. Still we recognize the vast
difference between the case
against Dr McNaughton and
that against Mrs. Flanders.
* Dr. Mc-Naughton was a physi
cian. He attended Fred during
his last illness, being the only
one who prescribed any part of
the course of .reatment or the
drugs used. Two facts must be
admitted; to deny them D sheer
folly. Due is Fred Flanders is
dead. The second is that he died
as a result of an administration
of arsenic. Dr. McNaughton
claims, in substance, that he died
as a result of a complication of
diseases. This explanation of
• his death from a physician is
about as intelligent as t*o say that
the man is dead because he died.
The arsenic was found in
Fred's body; will some of those
who are so hysterically support
ing the cause of the doctor give
us anv reasonable explanation
of how it got mere? They have
never offered but one. that was
through the use of embalming
fluid. No one who heard the
trial, or who will take the trouble
to read the reported evidence at
the trial would have the effiont-
ery to claim that this explanation
is not complete!', exploded; first,
because the body was not em
balmed; seconu oecause there
was absolutely no arsenic in
what little fluid was used by the
undertaker.
Admits He Gave Drugs.
Search the tacts in this case
where you will, and the finger
of f&t" points uneeringly to Dr.
\V. J. McNaughton as the needle
of the compass to the north. Still
we recognize the fact that as
far as the case against Mrs. Flan
ders is concerned, she must be
connected with the administra
tion of this poison. It, of course
must be shown that she had
knowledge of these facts, and
while the relations shown to
have existed between McNaugh
ton and Mrs. Flanders furnished
a motive for her, yet it did not
necessarily show that she was
acquainted by McNaughton with
the character of the drugs he was
administering.
She, of course, administered
these drugs, but. os far as that
Is concerned, I have no doubt
that I have also administered
them. I certainly gave to my
brother at different times medi
cines prescribed by the doctor.
And I am quite sure now. al
though unknowing at the time,
that these drugs contained some
of the very arsenic that killed
him.
\\ c know that not every dis-
loyal wife is willing to join in a
plot to kill her husband, and not
every man who conceives a plot
to murder his paramours hus
band and secure his property,
as well as bis wife, is willing to
trust his paramour with the se
cret of his intention. Generally
her very infatuation tends to
blind her to tht real purpose of
her lover.
Distinguishes Between Cases.
We have thus called attention
to the distinction between those
two c’hses because we believe it
is right and fair to the people of
the State that it be done. We
want to be frank in this matter.
Wc believe the guilty should be
punished, but they must be
legally punished. We have never
been willing to ask for a convic-
A Cork Leg Tax in

the Old Maids Do?
Relative of Slain Swainsboro
Planter Indicted After Pursuit
a la Sherlock Holmes.
Joseph Lynch, Secretary of
Wyandotte County’s Prosecutor,
in Kansas, has had his cork leg
taxed. Now he insists that spin
sters afflicted similarly come un
der the same law, and that their
false hair, glass eyes, etc., should
be included—NEWS ITEM.
The Tax Collector called to see
The “spinster-maid” of fifty-three;
At first he grabbed her by the hair,
Revealed a pate both smooth and

Then at an eye he made a pass,
And jotted down “one optic—glass:”
He chucked her chib from under

And wrote, “a cozen china teeth;”

walk,
Then scribbled down, "one left leg-’-

He said. “Your tax is dollars five,

1 dare not any further seek.
Because, you know-, my heart is

tion on sentiment. W* must ask
it on facts.
During the present week a
number of emissaries of Dr. Mc
Naughton have been here, not for
the purpose really of the trial of
Mrs. Flanders. bqt for the sole
purpose of en leavoring to work
up an artificial sentiment in fa
vor of McNaughton. They have
tried to creau- the impression
and have through newspaper ar
ticles said that one dare not In
Emanuel County mention above
t n whisper his belief in the in
nocence of McNaughton. Yet
these very emissaries have dur
ing the present week boldly pro
claimed their intention to obtain
an absolute pardon for McNaugh
ton. arid have been quite bold in
their statements that he will be
pardjned in less than a week.
Foresees Plea For Pardon.
We have no doubt of their In
tention to ask for a pardon in
the extreme Jo which t**ntiment
will go, but that such pardon
will be granted by the Governor
who has so fearlessly stood for
law and order, after this man has
received, as the people of this
county know, ns fair a trial as
was *ver accorded to a human
being, and after this conviction
has been twice passed on by trial
judges, and twice affirmed by the
Supreme Court of George, we dis
miss is absurd.
The agents for Dr. McNaugh
ton have endeavored assiduously
to create an impression that he
was denied a fair trial; that he
could not obtain a fair trial in
Emanuel County. This is a large
county, one of the largest in the
.State, and as citizens proud of
our native heath, which we be
lieve one of the fairest. Its
population is above 25,000; its
people, we belieye, are the fair
est-minded on earth. A charge
such as this we think a slander
on the integrity of our citizens,
and we are not willing to let it
go unchallenged.
We invite any impartial per
son to come and investigate for
himself, and see whether or not
the people of Emanuel County
are the best judges of the guilt or
innocence of Dr. McNaughton.
They knew Fred Flanders in his
life; they knew Dr. McNaugh
ton; they saw the conduct of the
three before the death; they saw
the conduct of the doctor and the
widow after the death. They are
familiar with, the surrounding
facts and circumstances. TJiey
heard the evidence at the trial,
and • ’ he peopD of our county,
after, nearly three years’ lapse of
time, are still firm in their be
lief that justice has been meted
out in this case according to tile
vprdici of the Jury.

in a few hours' sleep, 'there were a
number who took advantage of the
opportunity to take an early morning
walk along Peachtree Street and
Ponce DeLeon Avenue.
Lucrezia Bori, Antonio Seotti, En
rico ‘Caruso and Andrea DeSegurlo,
who will appear in the opening opera,
lust no time in getting to their rooms,
however, and It was revenil hour*’
before they appeared in the lobby
again. Lucrezia Bori proved ih«
longest sleeper of them all. She was
still in her suite at 1 o’clock and the
many persons win* had gatherid to
catch a glimpse of her were disap
pointed.
Stars Glad to Come South.
Tlie trip to the South comes, as an
acceptable break in the heavy New
York season, and Che famous singers
appeared as happy as children on
their first trip. They were about the
lobby and verandas of the hotel and
proved willing posers for the group
of newspaper photographers.
Andrea DeSegurola. the baritone
comedian, came in for much inspec
tion because of the monocle he wears.
He holds the unique distinction of
being the only member of the troup
in whose contrail is stipulated that
he may wear a monocle.
Caruso's appearance upon the ve
randa was the cause of mild a sensa
tion. Other members of the troup
gathered around him while he was
endeavoring to open up his kodak,
and the onlookers edged up closer.
He was somewhat disappointed w'hen
an examination by one of the news
paper photographers revealed the fact
that the camera w*as broken.
“Well, I am back to you again." lie
replied to a greeting. “1 have been
treated mighty nice in Atlanta, and
am always glad of the opportunity to
come back. I think the city is beau
tiful—is what you call hustling—
while the appreciation of music is
great.
Pickaninny Interests Caruso.
"All of us like to come here, and
we are always talking when away of
the time when we will come back
here. W'hen a person wants to
come back to a place I suppose that
Is the best evidence that they like it
mighty well."
Caruso was Very much interested
in the negro "as he really Is,” and
the appearance of a little ragged
pickaninny drew general attention
from the troupe. Caruso and several
others took snapshots of the little ne
gro, ami. when Caruso handed him a
half-dollar the little negro showed his
appreciation by jumping into the air
and executing a dance, then walked
away singing, giving the great vocal
ists an exhibition of melody in i:s
natural state.
More interest centered around An
tonio Seotti than any of the other
great stars, for it was Seotti who is
hailed as the man who obtained grand
opera for Atlanta.
A radiant, pleader, dark-eyed girl
attracted the eyes of most of the star
ing throng that was at tlie Terminal
Station yesterday afternoon to greet
the first of the grand opera singers.
The eyes lighted with recognition as
they fell on the familiar faces of En
rico Caruso and Antonio Seotti,/ and
then widened with unbelief at the-
sight of Mademoiselle Lucezia Bori.
All consideration for grammar fled
"Is that her?” asked the throng of
each other, and then pressed closer.
Charmed by Bori’s Beauty.
The women in the staring throng
were first to acquire the conviction
that this was really Mademoiselle
Lucrezia Bori, the beautiful. In
tricacies of an artistic sartorial en
semble impressed them before it did
the men. But after a long look or
two. Intuition came also to the men.
that the slender young woman was an
unusual person. Then everybody
seemed to know.
Mademoiselle Bori, patiently posing
before photographers and moving pic
ture operators, accepted with a smile
her dismissal at their hands, and with
an active leap was in the automobile
that was waiting to tane tier to the
hotel.
Caruso and Seotti were put through
the same gauntlet rr photographers
and admirers. It wcw something like
fifteen minutes after the train from
the East arrived thar the little party
left the station for the Georgian Ter
race Hotel.
Opera Promoters Greet Stars.
At the station a number of leaders
in the Atlanta Music Festival Asso
ciation were present to greet the
stars to Atlanta, among them H. M.
Atkinson. John E. Murphy, Harvey
Johnson and B. M Grant. The four
accompanied the singers to the Geor
gian Terrace, where a crowd, a little
more sedate than the Terminal Sta
tion throng, but staring with no less
avidity, awaited the coming of the
stars.
With the singers was \V J. Guard
publicity agent of the Metropolitan
Company, who was busiest of all at
the station, because he found a num
ber of friends. Other members of
the party were Vincenzo Bori. Arthur
D. Payne and G. Seoqu&mitio, Caru
so's accompanist.

A Th ing of Beauty, a Joy
Forever
The diamond is unquestionably A Thing of Beauty”
and. as it lasts always, consequently A Joy Forever.”
We set diamonds into the greatest variety of beautiful
ornaments, combining them with any of the other precious
stones or creating the most desirable solitaire effects.
The indestructibility of diamonds and the fact that
there is no such thing as a second-hand one, and that the
value is considerably increasing, make diamonds well
bought one of the choicest saving investments of modem
times.
So it is well for the lover of the beautiful and at the
same time careful investor to consider the purchase of dia
monds.
The certainty of knowing what grade and value you
are getting in any purchase has all to do with contented
possession, and positive knowledge that you are asked the
very lowest price the diamond can be bought for is fairly
and honestly due you. We invite careful inspection of our
goods and prices at all times.
If you do not care to pay cash, you will fipd our partial

Our plan of selling provides our customer a guaranteed
