Atlanta, Sept. B.—The sudden
and violent symptoms of the
maniac which Edward C. Flan

night before last.' subsided some
yesterday, as the result of
opiates.

as th -p did, (he murderer would
probably have killed himself by
dashing his hea 1 against the
iron cage. Flanagan made no
effort to attack any other person,
his whole intention being to end
his ovyn life, and it required the
combined strength of six stal
wart negroes to hold him down
uii 1 he could be placed und»r
the influence of drugs.
During the trials of Flanagan:
the phy® • ‘>>u who h.aia. that be
with witcv oWiT’as delusion

Mrs. Allea aid Miss Slack
while under de delusion that
he was being persecuted and
surrounded by enemies, stated
that they belired the man
would soon sho' some signs of
violent insanity and that he
would change ora the quiet
and listless pat.it to a man
dangerous to hitelf and those
around him.
“I believe Flagau has really
become insane,’tid an official
yesterday afterni who has re
cently contended! along that
Flanagan was nyazy, “but I
think his confinent and the
use of cigarettes excess has
caused him to tine derang
