Doctor, Crushed by Governors De-

stantial Evidence.

bitterness.
Through the years have beef kept in Jail here
an innocent man, l have tried to be happy and
make those around me happy. | still believe that
truth and justice will triumph in the end and 1 will
be given my freedom. 1t may be years, but l have
not lost faith that some day my name will be clear
ed and / go back to my children.
And now that Governor Slaton has rendered his
decision l have no hesitancy in speaking a sub
ject that should demand the attention of Georgia
lawmakers and the people governed by these laws
1t is too easy to convict an innocent man cir
cumstantial evidence.
Very often it is good evidence and in the ma
jority of cases 1t puts its hand on the right man.
but at the same time 1t throws the bars down to
unprinciped people. l gives them opportunity
to aege and substantiate crime when crime was
committed and too frequently a man unconscously
puts his foot In the coil of circumstance sentiment
forms itself against him. and he is lost while the
guilty person goes free.
In my case there was not even the semblance
Of a crime. Fred Flanders not murdered, but
died natural DEATH and yet the gossip of a small
community unjustly linked my name with that of
his wife, rumOrs so wild as to startle an intelligent
person, went the rounds, and the populace shouted

trace of poison but it did find alleged motive,
and selected the victim.
There is nothing to be gained from
preston of bitterness against those who have prose-
cuted and prosecuted me. L have refraned from
pressing any during the forty months have been
under the shadow of the gallows and | will not do

| don't have any fear for anything man can do to
me-
Mans very worst would be to kill this body.

could bring back life, and who will sit as my last
Judge.

The case has not been record where many
damaging circumstances could not be found against
many five or ten men, there could be against
the man on trial, very often more.
Probably as good example l know of is
that of the case of Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford, in
Atlanta.
After four years of a futile attempt of heirs to
get control of the estate left by her husband, the
heirs say she poisoned him. and they are getting
circumstances to show she did. l don't imagine
the intelligent attorneys and judges in Atlanta will
find her trial worth the trouble but If she and her
husband had lived in Emanuel County they would
have convicted her long ago, although there is not

HELEN KELLER
WILL SPEAK At
KNOXV|LLEFA|R
Famous Southern Woman will
Appear on Platform of Nation
al Conservation Exposition.

KNOXVILLE, Sept. 27.-An event
in the history Of the South will be
the appearance of Helen Keller, char
acterized as the most remarkable
woman in the world to-day, in Knox
vile and at the National Conserva-
ton Exposition on Tuesday, Septem-
Der 30 Miss Keller is coming back
into the South, which she left as a
child when she departed from her
home in Tuscumbia, Ala, to begin
the studies and the achievements that
have astounded the world. And what
is more, Helen Keller is coming back
into the Southland to make an oral
address!
When 1t is remembered that at the
age of 10 month Helen Keller fol-
lowing a severe illness, was found 70
be bereft of the sense of speech, the
sense of hearing and the power to see,
the very fact that she is now an edu-
Gated woman and with the power 70
make an address to an audience be-
comes in itself all the more astounI-
ing.
Imagine a child, deaf. dumb and
blind, whose brain because of her qf-
hictions lay dormant. How was the
sense of perception of what things
really were and are first conveyed to
that dormant brain? How was she
brought to a realization of what ia
bic was, for instance, a doll a man or
a woman, or anything else?
In what way was there brought to
the mind of this child a gradual
dawning of all of these things? The
seeming miracle has been accom-
plished, but how? How was the young
woman taught to speak? How lid
she come to realize that there were
such things as words and that these
words meant anything? How did she
learn to frame with her lips all of the
different words in her now large vo-
cabulary?
The very study OF the career Of
Helen Keller opens up an almost end
less chain Of speculation and conjec-
ture. The miracles have been done.
How?
At the National Conservation Ex-
position on Tuesday next Helen KEEL
Ter and her devoted friend and teach
er, Mrs. John Macy, are going to tell
about these things. Already great in
terest in the appearance of Miss KEEL
Ter has been aroused, and a record
breaking crowd is looked for. Per-
sons are coming from long distances
to see and to hear Helen Keller

When arrested Mrs. Funke was
wearing a double slit skirt, which
exposed limbs clad in white silk hose

rosette.
She faced Judge Stapleton on a
charge Of vagrancy and was given the
alternative of thirty days in Jail or
leaving Denver
"The Lord pity anybody who tries
to educate this town on up-to-date
clothes" she exclaimed as she de-
cided to leave the city.
According to the policeman who
made the arrest, the sensational "Cai =
cagO gown" wasn't to be compared
with the double slit one.
Il should worry about what a crab
by policeman says concerning the fall

many men to follow me yesterday.
