“ATTEMPTS MADE TO MURDER ME,”
HON. W. J. FLANDERS CHARGES
ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE
Demands That Gar
nett Quillian Be
Put Out of House.
SCENE WAS CAUSE
OF BIG SENSATION
Judge Daly, of Wrightsville, and
Several Ministers Among
Those He Attacked.
With his voice shaking with emotion,
his -!*nd*»r frame trembling like a leaf,
and his every feature depicting an al
most uncontrollable passion, W. J.
Flanders, representative from Johnson
county, alleging continuous persecution,
malicious defamation of character and
effort to murder him and making sen-
uttlonal charge* against Judge A. V.
Diilv. of Wrightsville, Ga„ Rev. J. M.
I/ivett, of Savannah, Rev. W. F. Mor
gan of Savannah, and Rev. W. F. Qull-
flan, of Wrightsville, requested Mon
day morning shortly before adjourn
ment that "one Garnett Quillian," as
the tool of these men, hts persecutors,
he requested to leave the house of rep
resentatives.
No more dramatic Incident than thta
of Mr. Flanders charging perjury to
some of. the most prominent men In
the state has ever been seen on the
floor of the house In the memory of the
present generation of representatives.
Before he had been speaking a minute,
the members of the hous saw the ex
citement under which the gentleman
from Johnson was laboring and quickly
did they press around him to hear
what he had to say.
After rising to a point of personal
privilege, Mr. Flanders waived the
clause of the state constitution exempt
ing members of the house of*represen
tatives from prosecution for any crime
below a foleny,* and prefaced his re
marks with the statement that he was
going to say things which would cause
trouble and he wanted it understood
that he would stand on them in any
court in the country, and If he did
not substantiate the charges
would resign his seat In the' house
ind his membership In the Methodist
church.
Quillian Talking to Seab Wright.
Mr. Flanders' -first statement was
# that "one Garnett Quillian" leave the
'house of representatives. Mr. Quil
lian was seated In the rear of the house
talking to Seab Wright. Mr. Flanders
continued:
"Four years ago, In my own town, an
attempt was made to blacken my char
acter, and the fact that I was cleared
of the charges made against me has
added to the frensy of my persecutors,
who have their representative In the
house today and have Mad him here
for almost the past week.
"Gentlemen of the house, two well
laid plots to murder me on the streets
of my home town, Wrightsville, were
thwarted through my being Informed
by friends of mine of the sinister pur
pose of my enemies. I regarded my
escaping death at their hands to be
solely an act of Providence. Now, I
am saying startling things, but 1 am
going to use names, and I want It un
derstood that I irill stand before any
court In this land and substantiate
these charges, und if they are not
proved true, I will-resign my seat In
this house nnd my membership In the
Methodist church."
By this time It had become noised
through the capitol that there was
*nmofhlng exciting happening In the
house, and many came running In from
the halla to learn the cause of the trou-
ki** The members pressed close to Mr.
Flanders eager to hear whom he would
charge and with what.
"I Impeach Them at Liars. 1
“Judge A. F. Daly, formerly a judge
the state superior court, Is one of
these, | have Impeached him In the
courts of the state and he stands to
day a perjured liar. I have Impeached
Rev. E. F. Morgan, pastor or Grace
Methodist church In Savannah. That
fell-uv Morgan stands today a per-
jured liar. I Impeach the character of
Rev. w. F. Quillian, a brother of the
nun I have asked to have ejected, and
the principal of the Nannie Lou War-
then institute In Wrightsville. I alse
•tflte that a man 70 years old is among
th >sp who have tried to brand me as
a bad man, and this man Is no other
than Rev. J. M. Lovett, presiding elder
rtf the gentleman from Chatham, Mr.
Stovall. He Is a brother of the editor
r 'f The Advocate and a descendant of
nno ,,f t he grandest men eve? pro-
durod by the Methodist church. These
m /n had me dismissed from the M®th-
church, and today I stand vindi
cated. for I have been reinstated and
a member In good standing I make
thp/e charges of perjury and will stand
ln them, if a negro were tried and
convicted for the crimes these men
have been guilty of in connection with
their attempt to ruin my character he

"Gsrnstt Quillian Here."
“Ths first of last week I noticed this
Oamett Quillian In the house. I went
to him and told him 1 would not stand
fnr a ™ntlnuance of the persecution I
had been undergoing for years, and
that he had better not be hanging
® r " u nd the h>u*e. He was here the
next day, and on the Fourth of July I
havi ’ him here again. I would have
aeked that day that he be requested to
Jrtave, but there were many visitors
?i* r *.t. arM * 1 didn’t care to do so then.

CAUSE OF TROUBLE
THAT LED TO SCENE
.,® ,3C £ ear ^.. a * < l , according to the best Information obtainable on short-
notice, Mr. Flanders was expelled from the Methodist Church and mln-
latry a!nd charges preferred by Judge Daly, who said he had known that
Mr. Flanders was unfit for the ministry and was entirely too dangerous
ai jd L n « acra £, t ‘ Jud * e Dal y controls the Nanny Lou Warthen Institute of
which Rev. W. F. Quillian Is presldeent and Garnett Quillian vice president
Following his being* discharged from the ministry and church, Mr.
Flanders brought suit for $20,000 against Judge Daly for defamation of
character. He lost the decision In the superior court, but his side of the
case was sustained by the supreme court, and the case has gone to be
tried again by the superior court. In this suit Mr. Flanders defended
nls character. It occasioned bitter feeling between the Flanders and Daly
factions In Wrightsville.
The Introducing of a bill In the house by Mr. Flanders to Incorporate
the Nanny Lou Warthen Institute In a public school system infuriated
the Daly side of the fight and through an effort, made by representatives .
* r 2PV the county * the bill was killed In the committee room.
Thb ministers Impeached, the Rev. Messrs. Morgan and Lovett, were
Implicated in the trial of Mr. Flanders when his character was questioned.

"Have Tried to Ruin Me.”
“These men who have long tried to
ruin me know that I know things about
them that would cause them shame ant)
disgrace and they would not under any
clrcunfstances allow these charges to
be brought against them If they could
In any way affect to prevent It.
"Gentlemen of the house, X can stand
this persecution no longer and had to
make this statement (or the charges
against me have been circulated by
these men, and I wish them to know
that I am not afraid of anything they
may lio and only want them to know
that I am aware that they are still
hounding me and that I am on my
guard."
When Mr. Flanders finished speaking
Garnett Quillian arose and left the
house.
Gsrnstt Quillisn's Statement.
'I was very much surprised at the
attack made upon me In the house of
representatives this morning.
“I do not now recall ever having
spoken ten words to Mr. Flanders In
my life.
“I have no Interest In him, nor In
anything that he . attempts to do.
My attendance upon the sessions of

alone of listening to the various
speeches and observing the general
way in which buslnees is transacted.
“I have nothing to say further than
the atack this morning was wholly un-
warented and uncalled for."

By Private leeteil Wire.
Salt iMkr, Utah, July Official,
high In the Mormon church here would
he glad to hear some sort of an ex
planation from Berseford Hope, u
who represented himself to be an Enii-
llah nobleman, and who, by pro-ontlmr
credentials which looked good en their ;
face, aucreeded In "promoting” several 1
schemes In which they wore llnan- I
dally Interested.
Hope, by hi* suave manner, aucceod- '
e(l In “milking" the men who rule
Utah's dominant church out of many j
thou sands of dollars. Junt how much I
money was advanced to tho alleged
nobleman on hta various schemes la not I
known, because of the natural retlcenco !
on the part of his victims In discussing :
a subject an delicate.
Hope Is, now In Boston, Maas, where
he la “standing pat." He worked en a
large ecale. He came to Utah with a |
letter from the ‘‘British American Re- j
curltlea, Limited, London." The letter- I
head of the concern since discovered
to he fictitious set forth thnt the rom-
I'linv iwiv . oidlall/.-d III | -.0.0,111, MOO. J
H had as Its directors, among others.
Lord Rothschild, who bore the title of,
treasurer; Lord Decourse, the chair-;
man; Right Hon. Lord Vatix, Lord
Talbott, Lord Vincent, Sir Alexander;
McKenzie and other prominent men In 1
the world of finance.
Ixindon does not know of such a
company, a fart which was learned by!
the Investors hereabouts only after they
had made their Investments. Hopes
letter from the fictitious concern was
to tho effect thnt hla credit was good!
up In 1500,090. It helped him greatly.i
It helped him so much that according 1
to nn Interview her* today with hla
former slenngrapher, he used to dic
tate letters addressed to himself on th#
letterheads of this company with Hus
ton date lines nnd other men's signa
tures affixed. All of these 1,-11.-1 •» were
most encouraging, as they gnve him
i ■Mi.. he iii 11,,- in,in.-i "f Invest
ing the money of the company. i
“Go ahead, we will back you," w a#
the purport of the letters written by
Hope to himself on the letterhead- of
th* fictitious "Brlieh-Amerlean Sfiurl- 1
ties." Among those who listened to hts
tales was President Joseph F. Smith,
the head of the church, and also tha
R resident of many large corporations
ere He allowed hi* name to ho used
by Hope among th* lleta of severs!
boards of director*.
Whether President Smith Invested
any money or not has not been discov
ered. It la known, however, that Da
vid Eccles, a Mormon mlllnnolre, of
Ogden, went sponsor for Hope In one
of hla enterprises, vouched for him on
others aryl gave him money.
The enterprise, which Hop* promot
ed aggregated In their entirety over
3100,000,000. Among Hope'* concern*
was th* Great Western Coal nnd Iron
Company, eapltallxed nt 35,000.000. Th*
purpose of this organization was to ac
quire coal deposits 12 1-2 miles square
In Chihuahua, Mexico, and to build s
railroad through this coal belt.
While gelling Salt Lakers Interested
In the scheme Hop* represented that
John Hill, a millionaire of Colorado
Springs. Colo, “got In." He then spoke
of a trip he had Juat made to Colorado
Springs, and showed a check for 376,-
000 with the name of John Hill In th*
place where the signature should he.
Illll now aver* that he does not know
Hop*, and that the signature i>«s e
forgery. In the meentlme. however.
Hop* bed advertised Hill as president
of th* company and each prettIH en
graved piece of stock that went out t*
speculators bore the alleged signature
of Hill. This was a forgery, according
to Hill.
It was for the purpose of obtalnlm
...oney from the Brltlah-Amerlcan Se
curities, Limited, that Hope euia h«
left Salt Lake for Boston recently.!'
