SULLEN, OA., Sept. 11.—Within a
.few miles of the place where she was
bom and reared and in the little
town where she spent a great many
years of what she terms an unhappy
married life, Mrs. Edna Perkins God
bee to-day was put on trial for the
murder of the wife of her former
hUBband, Mrs. Florence Godbee,
whom she slew on the morning of
August 18.
The State decided to try her first
for shooting Mrs. Florence Godbee,
because It believes that it ha* a
stronger case than the charge against
her for the murder of Judge Walter
S. Godbee, her former husband.
The trial proceeded rapidly, Judge
Hammond overruling a motion for a
continuance and later a demurrer to
the indictment
Jury Obtained Easily.
The ease with which a jury was
obtained was a great surprise, as It
bad been predicted that several days
would be required to get twelve men.
Millen was wrought Into a high
pitch of excitement to-day when the
time arrived for the trial of Mtb.
Godbee.
The woman, who has remained si
lent in the county jail since the day
she startled the community by ahoot-
ing down Judge Godbee and hts wife
in the Millen postofflee, has won tile
sympathy of many of the townspeo
ple.
That she was the victim of insult
after insult heaped upon her by the
man who once was her husband and
that she was deprived of her inheri
tance by him before tlfeir separation
is the story that Is on every lip.
Tell of Slurring Remark.
This is the story, the details and
Iragi pending of which will be told
the j by the skilled lawyers whom
Mrs. Edna Godbee has engaged to
conduct the fight for her 'ife. That
the judge accosted her in the post-
office the day of the tragedy or that
he made a slurring remark in refer
ence to her in her hearing is the sen
sational testimony that is promised
by the defense.
It will be the contention that this
was the final act of persecution by
Judge Godbee that goaded his form
er wife into a fury and led her to
empty the revolver she was carrying
into his body and that of the pretty
woman at his side w’ho had taken
her place in the judge's affection.
Combating the claim of the de
fense that the shooting of the young
Mrs. Godbee was not intentional and
was in the nature of an incident to
the main purpose of the distracted
woman—the slaying of‘Judge Godbee
the state was prepared to intro-

James Farley, Noted
Strikebreaker, Dies
PLATTSBURG, N. Y, Sept. 11.—
James Farley, the famous strike

year.s old, and during the latter years
of his life, when he had to give up
his strenuous duties breaking strikes,
he ^levoted himteif to horse racing
Prison Board by Two to One
Urges Liberation of Physician
Held in Jail as Slayer.
A recommendation for a full par
don for Dr. W. J. McNaughton, con
victed of the murder of Fred Flan
ders. was sent to Governor J. M. Sla
ton Thursday by the Georgia Prison
Commission.
The vote was 2 to 1 for a full par
don, Chairman Davison and Commis
sioner Rainey voting for the pardon
and Commissioner Patterson holding
out for commutation to life imprison
ment. The majority ruling, the rec
ommendation went to the Governor a?
a full pardon.
Commissioners Davison and Rainey
in recommending a full pardon
charged that a careful examination
of the evidence at the trial shows the
case to be a weak one, the motive
given being surrounded by unnatural
and untrue evidence.
State Sharply Criticised.
The Commissioners also state that
the prosecution refused to allow the
defendant to have present at the
chemical analysis of the stomach and
organs of the deceased a known
chemist of ability, that he might see
that no mistake was made.
The action of the State in nolle
pressing the case against Mrs. Flan
ders, who was Jointly Indicted with
McNaughton, also is sharply criticised
by the two Commissioners.
“By this order.” they stij, “this
commission was deprived of the ben
efit of the result of a jury trial of the
case and it was done by the prosecu
tion on their own motion and must
have been with full knowledge of
what the Governor’s reprieve meant
and what this commission desired
when they requested the reprieve. Am
a result, when the case was again
presented to the commission a month
ago they were met with a state of
affairs in which one conspirator had
been set free—the conspiracy thus
done away—and an effort being made
to hang the other conspirator on e
theory of conspiracy which by this
act was virtually admitted not to
exist ”
Another feature of the long tight
for the physician’s life that weighed
most heavily with these two Commis
sioners was the newly-produced evi
dence before the Prison Commission
that Flanders had been sick for a
period before his mysterious death
and that he had been in t,he habit of
taking medicine which he had de
clared pome day would kill him.
Believa Doctor Innocent.
In closing, the majority members
of the commission say they are con
vinced that the defendant is Inno
cent, or at least there is such a douot
and such a failure to exclude even
reasonable hypothesis save that ut
the guilt of the accused as to make it
a duty to recommend a pardon.
Judge Patterson gave^four reasons
for his recommendation for commu
tation to life imprisonment. The ev
idence, in the first place, he states is
wholly circumstantial. Til the second
place, the new evidence produced be
fore the commission, he declares, au
thorizes a commutation of the sen
tence. Thirdly, the failure to prose
cute Mrs. Flanders, he says, makes
the imposition of the death penalty
unwarranted, arid, fourthly, the new
evidence from Thomasville is merely
cumulative and Is what was before
the courts on the extraordinary mo
tion for a new trial.
Case Fought Stubbornly.
The case against Dr. McNaughton
has been one of the moat stubbornly
contested legal battles in Georgia
criminal annals, interest never flag
ging from the time the physician was
arrested in June. 1910.
Tried, convicted and sentenced to
death on three occasions and respited
four times by Governor Hrown and

To Get Appointment
To New Judgeship
Well-founded rumors were circu
lated at the State Capitol Thursday
morning that Judge L. 8. Roan would
be appointed to the Superior Court
Judgeship created by the last Legis
lature.
Although many rumor* have gone
the rounds, the one forecasting the
appointment of Judge Roan is said to
strike just a little closer to the mark
than the others.
One rumor had it that Chief Jus
tice Ben Hill, of the Court of Appeals,
would be appointed, being succeeded
on the Appeals Court bench by Judge
Roan.

A during and mysterious robbery
of nearly J75.000 from the Southern
Express Company became known in
Atlanta Thursday when Detective
Harry Scott and other Pinkerton
operatives and Superintendent Hoek-
aday. of the express company, bur-
rled to Savannah to take up an In
vestigation.
Fifty thousand dollars was con
signed from the Chase National Bank
of New Tork to the Savannah Bank
and Trust Company. A consignment
of $21,000 more was bound to th*
Brunswick and Valdosta banks'. Other
smaller sums are said to be missing.
The detectives believe that It was
an "Inside job" and that some of the
express company's employees are In
volved In the big robbery. The only
clew they have is a finger print on
one of the envelopes from which the
money was extracted.
CUrke Will Be Quizzed.
A rigid examination of every clerk
In the employ of the company who
has the handling of the consignments
of the money will be made by De
tective Scott and the other 'opera
tives who have been sent him from
other Pinkerton offices. The first
move is expected to be an inspection
of the finger prints of even 7 person
who could have had anything to do
with the robbery.
It Is on this slim clew that the au
thorities are working now. So far as
i* known, they have no ona under
suspicion. If the finger-print clew
fails to implicate any of the em
ployees. the detectives will be forced
to attack the baffling mystery from
another direction. They admit that It
is the most mysterious disappearance
of money with which they have had
to deal In years It Is also the great
est robbery In the history of the
Southern Express.
Scott will be assisted by detectives
from the large Eastern offices The
police officials in every city In the
South and East have been notified
to be on the watch for any clew.
Treasure Trunk Rifled.
The robbery came to light when
the trunk supposed to contain the
*75,000 was opened In Savannah and
found to be empty. Superintendent
Hockaday, in Atlanta, immediately
was wired of the big robbery, and,
obtaining the services of Harry Scott
he boarded a train for Savannah. Of
ficials of the company admitted the
robbery as soon as they were ques
tioned. but declared they wer at a
lose to hit upon any reasonable
theory.
The money was placed in a sealed
trunk at Jersey City Monday night
on the Atlantic Coast Line’s train No.
S3. It was receipted for. The trunk
was not openeu, nor did it leave the
car except at Washington, when the
Adams Express Company transferred
it to the Southern.
It reached Savannah at 3 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. The robbery
was discovered immediately. It was
impossible to secure the name of the
me-senger, but It Is understood that
someone higher up Is suspected, on
account of it having been practically
Impossible for the messenger to have
secured the money and replaced the
seals.
No evidence that the trunk had
been tampered with was found on
the outside, butontbe inside one or
two envelopes were found tom open,
and on one of them was the finger
print that the officials expect to prove
of value,
