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
people devote so little thought to
the innocent victim whose body
lies beneath the sod, but yet such
is the nature of mankind. The
dead arc 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
man. If he had ever done harm
to any one, I 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. McNaughton was a physi
cian. He attended Fred during
his last illness, being the only
one who prescribed any part of
the course of treatment or the
drugs used. Two facts must he
admitted; to deny them is sheer
folly. One 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 to 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 any reasonable explanation
of how it got tnere? 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 effront
ery to claim that this explanation
is not completely exploded: first,
because the body was not em
balmed: second, because there
was absolutely no arsenic in
what little fluid was used by the
undertaker.
Admits He Gave Drugs.
Search the facts in this case
where you will, and the finger
of fate-points uneeringly to Dr.
W. 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- .
lion 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, as far as that
is concerned, T have no doubt
that I hav-e 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.
We Know that not every dis
loyal wifp 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 his wife, is willing to
trust his paramour with the se-
•cret of his intention. Generally
her very infatuation tends to
blind her to the real purpose of
her lover.
Distinguishes Between Cases.
We have thus called attention
to the distinction between those
two cases because we believe it
is right and fair to the people of
the State that it be done. We
want to he 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-

tion on sentiment. We 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, but for the sole
purpose of endeavoring to work
up an artificial sentiment in fa-
vor of McNaughton. They have
tried to create the impression
and have through newspaper ar
ticles said that one dare not in
Emanuel County mention above
a 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
anpabsolute pardon for McNaugh
ton. and have been quite bold in
their statements that he will he
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 to which sentiment
will go, hut 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, as fair a trial as
was 'iver 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 hs 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 believe, 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 I)r. 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. They
heard the evidence at the trial,
anjj 'he people 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 the
verdict of the Jury.
Relative of Slain Swainsboro
Planter Indicted After Pursuit
a la Sherlock Holmes.
The elements of a Sherlock Holmes
yarn are contained in the story re
lated to-day by State Fire Inspector
W. R. Joyner of the manner evidence
was obtained wnich resulted in the
finding of an Indictment for arson
against Charles M Flanders.
By the arrest of Flanders another
member of the prominent Emanuel
County family is brought into the
limelight. The entire State has been
interested in the case of Mattie
F'lander.v. whose arraignment for
complicity in the murder of her hus
band, Fred Flanders, has been post
poned again, the sixth time.
Bloodhounds Are Used.
The Sheriff's bloodhounds, tell-tale
footprints, a five-mile trail of a buggy
track and a half dozen other favor
ite sleuthing devices were employed
in faster.in upon Flanders sufficient
suspicion to warrant the issuance of
the true bill.
Flanders bought a house in Swains
boro early in the, year About Feb
ruary 4 he is reported to have in
creased the insurance from $750 to
$1,000. On the night of February 24
the vacant house burned. The man
living nearest was first on the scene
The soft ground was damp from re
cent rains. He saw footprints lead
ing into the house and others leading
out. The Sheriff was notified to
bring his bloodhounds. The animals
picked up the trail, but stopped sud
denly. Where it ended buggy tracks
began.
Followed Trail Five Miles.
For five miles over the road the
Sheriff and neighbors followed the
tracks. The Grand Jury was told
that they led' directly to the stable
of Charles M. Flanders.
Flanders was i;i bed. The Sheriff
took his shoes, according to the evi
dence presented to the Grand Jury,
and fitted them in the footprints from
the stable to the house. One of the
shoes was badly worn in the sole
and had heavy nails, in the heel. It
fitted perfectly in the tracks, the
Grand Jury was ‘old, and also fitted
as perfectly into Hie tracks entering

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 Scotti, En
rico Caruso arid Andrea DeSegurlo,
wfiio will appear In the opening opera,
lost no time In getting to their rooms,
however, and it was several hour*
before they appeared in the lobby
again. Lucrezia Bori proved the
longest sleeper of them all. She wins
still in her suite at 1 o’clock and the
many persons who had gathered to
catch a glimpse of her were disap
pointed.
Stars Glad to Come South.
The trip to the South comes as an
acceptable break in the heavy New
York season, and the famous singers
appeared as happy as children on
their ^rst trip. The^ 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 contract is stipulated that
he may wear a monocle.
Caruso’s appearance upon the ve
randa was ihe 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 when
an examination hy one of the news
paper photographers revealed the fact
that t.l\e camera was broken.
“Well, 1 am back to you again,” he
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
w r e are always talking when away of
the time when we will come back
here. When a person wants to
com* 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 i
others took snapshots of the little ne
gro, and 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 Scotti than any of the other
great stars, for it was Scotti who »s
nailed as the man who obtained grand
opera for Atlanta.
A radiant* slender, .dock-eyed girl
attracted the eyes of most of the star
ing throng that was at the 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 Scotti, and
then widened with unbelief at the
sight of Mademoiselle Lucesia 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 raxe her to the
hotel.
Caruso and Scotti were put through
the same gauntlet or photographers
and admirers. It wasi something like
fifteen minutes af*e- the train fror
the East arrived tha~ the little party
left the station for the Georgian Ter
race Hotel.
Opera Promoters Greet Stars.
At the station a numr-er of leaders
in the Atlanta Music Festival Asso
ciation were present to greet the
stars to Atlanta, among them H. M.
Atkinson, John II. 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.
Wit!: the singer.- was W. J. Guard,
publicltv 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. Scoquamitio, Caru
so’s accompanist.

Declares His and Dr. White’s Work
Would Cost More Under
Any Other System.
E. L. Worsham, State Entomologist,
( to-day declared he would make no
fight on the proposed action of the
board of the State experimental sta
tion to discontinue the co-operative
system by which he and Dr. H. C.
White, of the faculty of the College
of Agriculture, are members of the
staff pf the experimental station and
receive salaries.
“If any fight is to he made it nec
essarily would be made from the oth
er end,” said Mr. Worsham. “We can
only await action. The work we are
doing, however, is work that can not
be done in any other way except by
making a much larger expenditure.
“We are doing work for the State
experimental station now that would ,
cost, at least $2,000 if undertaken in
any other way. By the co-operative j
system and the aid we get from the j
Federal Government, it is costing a <
little over $800. I do not think tlie ;
board contemplates discontinuing the :
co-operative system, as it has given I
the best results.”
