Conspiracy WITH Or. W. J. NC.
Naushton to Kill Her tusba
With strSchnine.

Swainsboro, April 17.-Both the
state and defense announced ready to
begin the trial of Mrs. Matte Flan-
ders on the charge OF murder this
afternoon.
The trial started at 4 o'clock, and
it is expected that some time will be
experienced in finding jury.
Mrs. Flanders is to be defended by
L. u. Rosser Of Atlanta, and he did
not reach here until 4 O'Clock. He
agreed with the solicitor general,
however. to be ready to begin the
trial Immediately upon his arrival.
Realizing that jury is to be hard
to obtain tn. court has subpoenaed
157 veniremen from which to select
IL men who will eventually hear the
case
There is large crowd here for
the trial and more are arriving ev-
cry moment.
There is a continuous stream of
vehicles into Swainsboro from all
parts of Emanuel county, and many
arrived on the morning trains.
1t will not be necessary for Mrs.
FLANDERS to make her appearance in
the courthouse until later, but her
friends say she is in town and anx-
ious for the trial to begin, She has
persisted srom the first intimatlon
that she might be tried in declaring
her innocence.
Mrs. Flanders is accused OF enter
ling into a conspiracy with DR. w j.
McNaughton to kill her husband with
|strychnine.
DR.. MeNaughton is DOW under SEN
tence of death and in Jail at iSavan-
nah, but GOV. BPwn, who has respit
ed him several imes, has intimated
that If Mrs. FlJ Jlders should not be
found guilty he Gould either commute
DR.. McNaughton's sentence, even L
he did not pardon him outright.
The defendant in today's trial is
Erelated to great many people
throughout the county, and it is be
Elieved that this extensive relation
lship will, in a large measrre make
the securing Of jury harder than
lit otherwise would be.
