STORY
Three Persons Swear That Fred
Flanders Doctor Said Patient
Had Been Slain.

A night session of the final stand
now being made before Governor
Slaton upon the recommendation for
a full pardon for DR.. w. ]. McNaugh-
ton, sentenced to die October 3 for
the poisoning of Fred Flanders, was
decided upon by the Governor at the
request of the attorneys for the
Emanuel County physician late Fri
day afternoon. Governor Slaton has
cancelled his appointment to speak
before the opening of the Christian
Citizenship Congress at the Audito-
rum Armory, and will hear the case
to its finish.
Arguments by counsel for State
and defense followed the introduce
ton Ct startling testimony by both
sides. The State produced as its
sensation three affidavits aimed to
prove further that the physician
brought about Flanders death by the
use Of poison.
The affidavits in each instance
stated that DR.. Green Bell, the physi-
clan who attended Flanders during
his fatal sickness, and who died be
fore McNaughton's first trial stated
that Flanders had been poisoned by
his wife and the physician. In one
affidavit DR.. Bell was quoted as say
ing when he returned from a visit
TO the patient:
Say Doctor Warmed Pair.
"They have poisoned him, just as I
have expected, but he will get well
now. I told them they had better
straighten him out or they would get
into trouble. He Will get well now
and they will be afraid to finish him"
This extract was taken from the
affidavit of R. A Flanders, a first
cousin Of the dead man. Flanders
swore that he had talked to DR.. Bell
upon his return from Covena to
Swainsboro. where he administered
TO the sick man.
