FLANAGAN FACING HIS FATE.

Important Witness.
Atlanta, Ga, May 23.-Edwin c. Flana-
gan, the DeKaib county double murderer
was placed on trial for the third time for
his life at Decatur to-day, Judge John S.
Gambler presiding.
Flanagan's victims were Miss Ruth
Slack and Mrs. Allen, the mother of George
w. Allen, at whose house Miss Slack was
stopping, and where Flanagan was a
boarder
1t Is contended by his attorneys that
Flanagan is afflicted with form OF insanl-
ty known as paranoia. and that this aflic-
ton caused him to do the bloody deeds in
the Allen home, for which he is now fac
ing his fate.
Great interest has been felt in the case
from the first, on account of its many pc
culiar features.
There were loud threats of lynching
!
| trst time, and the military had to be call
ed out to guard him while the trial was in
progress. The issue of insanity was raised
al the outset, and has been persistently
urged by the prisoners counsel To-day
when the case was called another effort
was made TO stay trial on account of the
alleged insanity of the prisoner. Flana-
CAMS attorney moving the court to give
him the benefit of the common law Gus
tom of inqujring into his mental condition
10 see If he was in ft condition to be
tried, Judge Gambler allowed this
motion and after clearing the court room
entered into an investigation of Flana-
CAMS condition. After two hours work
with the assistance of experts Judge
| Gambler announced that he was of the
opinion that the prisoner was mentally
competent to be placed on trial, and he
was accordingly araigned upon the indict-
ment for murder Judge Gambler said
that he did not think that the prisoners
condition was any worse now than it was
in February, 1897, when he was first placed
on trial upon the plea of insanity and the
plea defeated.
In personal appearance Flanagan looks
very much ike a wild man He has en-
abnormal growth of shaggy hair ind
whiskers, though some weeks ago 1t was
announced at the Jail that he had con-
scented to have his hirsute trimmed lie
is pale and cadaverous, too, and looks like
very good subject for the insanity dodge
No evidence was introduced to-day, sew
eral Of the principal witnesses not being
present. One of these absent witnesses is
Father Kennedy of Savannah, who was
telegraphed for Flanagan paid Father
Kennedy several visits before the murders
were committed and told him some tales
about his infatuation for little Viola Allen
and the fancied behavior of the family at
the Allen home. Mrs. George Allen, moth
er of this little girl, is also an important
witness but she was not present, though
en- route from McRae. 1t has been eigh-
teen months since Flanagan's crime was
committed.

RECOVERING FROM THEIR ILLNESS.
Ice Cream Eaten With Other Things
WAY Cause Serious Trouble.

Ice Cream Eaten With Other Things
May Cause Serious Trouble.
There was an improvement yesterday
in the condition of the members of Mr..
]. M Dixon's, Mr.. w. ]. Lindsay's, and
Mr.. W. W. Osborne's families, supposed
to have been poisoned by eating ice cream
at Tybee Sunday.
The attending physician at Tybee,
who went over from Camp Gra-
ham 10 Mr.. DXon's cottage gave it
as an opinion that the acid in the raw
berries was responsible for the results.
He said the case would have been diff
ferent, possibly, if the fruit had been
cooked Yet there are hundreds of others
eating strawberry cream upon whom there
is no such effect.
Other physicians reported having been
called on 10 attend patients Sunday, who
claimed TO have been suffering from fruit
ice cream made at home. The doctors are
not exactly agreed on what caused the
sickness, most of them believing, however
it is caused by eating cream with other
things, which do not agree with the stom-
ach.

nah Guards Aid Society, having for ats

diers who are now at Tampa. as d part OF
the Second Georgia Regiment, United
States volunteers.
A good deal of enthusiasm was shown al
the meeting, about $40 having been do
mated by the ladies who were present.
Mrs. W. r. Leaken was called to the
chair, and after stating the object of the
meeting, the following officers were
elected:
President-Mrs. T. M. Cunningham.
Vice President-Mrs. 7. S. Morgan.
Secrerary-Mrs. w. c. cartridge.
Treasurer-Mrs. 7. M. Cunningham, Jr.
Mrs. Emil Newman was appointed

tee on purchases consists of Mrs. E. j.

in the movement to send boxes of provis-
IONS and sanitary supplies 10 the soldier
boys, will be present and become enrolled
as members of the society, which they
can do upon the payment of 81 toward the
fund.-
The ladies who have so energeticaHy
taken hold of this commendabie work. APP
precjate the fact that a soldier has many
needs which it is impossible for the gov
eminent TO supply The wives, mothers
and well-wishers of the volunteers are
anxious to have everything that tends to
make them comfortable and to alleviate
their suffering when an emergency arises.
They are, therefore, DESTROYS of having
the co-oDera ton of all Savannah women
in the undertaking.

POLICE WHEGLMEN TO RACE.
Anxious to Find the Speediest in the
New Squad.

A friendly rivalry has already developed
among members of the police bicycle
squad, which has led TO challenges. Po-
licemen Umbach and Sandiford are to race
soon on the Bay street extension, while
Policeman McQuade the all-round ath
lote, as well as the Oldest officer on the
force in point of both age and continuous
service, has stated he would challenge the
winner TO q race with himself
Chief McDermott is much pleased with
the work being done by the bicycle squad.
He believes a sure stop can now be put
to scorching, Irregular hack driving and
other offenses the police formerly had
trouble in suppressing. An officer on BIZ
cycle can now get upon an offender in
short order, happening along at a time
when least expected. After being arrested
several scorchers said they saw the Off
GERS, but thought they were 'fremen."
Later on, il may be the squad will be in
creased If it holds out as satisfactorily as
it has started.
