81 itobOt JIG
Governor John NJ. slaton yesterday
announced his decision in the case of
DIR. w. J. McNaughton, of SWANS
ooro, who was under sentence to be
hanged for the poisoning of Fred
Flanders.
In spite of the fact that two mem
bers of the Prison Commission had
recommended that DR.. McNaughton
be granted a full pardon, Governor
Slaton overlooked their action. and
committed the sentence to life impris-
onment
In message accompanying the or
der OF Communication, Governor Slaton
frankly expresses his belief in DR..
McNaughton's guilt. basing his opir
lon on the following reasons drawn
from the evidence:
That evidence before the
trial jury tended to show DR..
McNaughton and Mrs. Elan
ders criminally intimate.
That Fred Flanders was
preparing to move from DR..
McNaughton' s house, where
he and his wife lived, and
was taken i'll the day before
he would have moved.
That he was treated by
McNaughton, took only
medicine prepared by Nc
Naughton from his own
shop, and that traces of
arsenic were found in his
stomach.
That, according to the ev-
idence, he was better the
nights he did not take the
medicine.
That the day after his fu-
neral DR.. McNaughton and
Mrs. Flanders, exhibiting no
signs of grief, were in
Swainsboro to provide for
the administration of the .es-
tate.
That DR.. McNaughton Of
efred. no defense, not even
toward establishing good
character.
That the presiding judge
approved the verdict, and
five of the six Supreme Court
justices affirmed it.
However. expressing his firm belief
in Dr. McNaughton's guilt, Governor
Slaton defended the Communication OF
the sentence by lengthy argument.
He gave his reasons as the follow
ing:
That the evidence against
the prisoner was purely cri-
cumstantial.
That a prejudice existed
: against him in Emanuel
County.
That evidence presented
since the conviction, while
not justifying a new trial,
tended to justify clemency.
That one justice of the Su-
preme Court did not believe
all reasonable doubt of Dr..
McNaughton's guilt had
been excluded.
That the entire Prison
Commission recommended
clemency.
That the possibility exists
that experts were wrong in
their testimony against DR..
McNaughton.
Altogether, Governor slston's rness

City Saloons Source of Expense to the Farmer
In Sangamon county the country real estate is

a chance of fixing appetite upon human being that
may wreck his life and damn his soul! What won't

confectioners to children may them to
