Sept. 10.— Mayor Gay- ] nor*s death came as a shattering blow to lhe political structure that hud been built for the November elec tion at which the city ticket was the center of interest.

OoUec- i tor of the Port; the Gaynor fusion | and nominating league had named Mayor Gaynor. With Mayor Gaynor out of the race, the two-skied fight leaves a complex condition. Many of the Gaynor lead ers had assailed Mitchell bitterly. Mitchell had not been soft in handling the Gaynor men. The prospect for harmonizing the remaining Gaynor forces and the Mitchell element, while excellent as to the voter element is difficult as to the leaders.

Mrs. Gaynor. who has been spend ing the summer at the Gaynor sum mer estate at St. James, Long Island, was immediately notified of her hus band’s death. She was overcome with grief. The Gaynor family sent word to the son, Rufus, to have the remains transferred at Liverpool and brought back at once for burial. It is not expected that any legal technicalities will hold up the return of t ho body. Intimate friends of Mayor Gaynor believe his death was undoubtedly hastened by grippe and throat trou ble.

Police Commissioner Waldo, the warm personal friend of the late Mayor, heard of Mr. Gaynor’s death while he was helping drill 500 recruit policemen "That is terrible,” cried Waldo. "It Is a terrific blow to the city of New York.” Commissioner Waldo and Fire Commissioner Johnson immediately issued orders that all the flags on the police stations and firehouses of the city should be placed at half-mast.

Fred Flanders, alleged victim of the Emanuel County physician, died on June 4. 1910. A few days later ru mors, at first faint and indefinite. a9 to improper relationship between Dr. McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders, be gan to circulate. Relatives of the dead man had the body exhumed and ordered a post mortem examination, which, it was alleged, revealed that the stomach of Flanders contained a small quantity of arsenic, although not enough to have caused death. Doctor and Woman Indicted. Soon thereafter Dr. McNaughton, who boarded at the Flanders home, was arrested on the charge of ad ministering arsenic to Flaqders to produce his death. His motive, it was charged, was a desire to be rid of an obstacle to his familiarity with Mrs. Flanders. Following the joint indictment of Dr. McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders, the Emanuel physician, was tried in October, 1910, convicted, and sen tenced to be hanged. Then followed the great legal battle for McNaughton’s life, which had its echo as far north as Washington. D.

Although the highest court In the land affirmed the decision of the lower court, attorneys for Mc Naughton continued the fight. Stay after stay of the execution of the physician, which originally was set for the fall of 1910, was obtained through Governor Brown, who de clared repeatedly that the condemned man would not hang until Mrs. Flan ders was tried. The last respite granted in June, 1913, put the case in the hands of Governor Slaton. Mrs. Flanders Not Tried. In the meantime Mrs Flander3 waited nearly three years in seclusion for the trial, which, it was alleged, the State did not want. Finally, after six postponement* the case against her was nol prossed in the Superior Court of Fulton County in July. It was this turn of affairs which prompted the attorneys for Mc Naughton to renew the fight on the grounds that if Mrs. Flanders was not guilty of her part of the original al legations Dr. McNaughton could not be. About ten days ago Judge Saffoid and Colonel John Bennett, of Swains, boro, attorneys for McNaughton. sub mitted to the Georgia Prison Com mission new evidence in the form of affidavits of two Thomasville citizens who swore that Flanders had taken drugs in their presence which he de clared would kill him some day. Feeling Seems Reversed. Attorney A. S. Bradley, represent ing the State, appeared on the scene at this juncture with affidavits which he claimed impeached the affidavits of the defense. Following the argu ments by both sides, the case went .o the Prison Commission for final de cision. All sorts of charges, which have sttirred the State, have been hurled during the course of the McNaugh- ton-Flanders case. Perhaps the most startling of these was the charge of the condemned man that certain “factions” iif Emanuel County were plotting to hang him in order to maintain its supremacy and power. Although public sentiment was strongly against the physician in the beginning of the trial, recently, it is said, a feeling in his favor has come about.
