DR.. NJ NAUCHTON
GRAN TED NEW
RESPITE
Governor Extends Time of Con-
demned Man to May 9, Pend
ing Mrs. Flanders Trial.

Governor Brown today respited DR..
W. McNaughton. condemned to death
for the murder of Fred Flanders in
Emanuel county many months ago. un-
Ill May g.
McNaughton was under sentence TO
die on February %, having been res
pited in November to that date by the
governor. who declared that McNaugh-
ton should not die until the case against
Mrs. Fred Flanders, his alleged CO.
conspirator in the staying of Flanders,
should be disposed of
Although McNaughton and Mrs.
Flanders were indicted jointly two
years ago for the crime against Elan
ders. and McNaughton was promptly
tried and convicted, Mrs. Flanders new
er has been tried.
McNaughtons attorney, Colonel Fred
Saffold. of Swainsboro has stoutly
maintained that the state dare not try
Mrs. Flanders before McNaughton's ex-
ecution holding that the state not only
could not convict Mrs. Flanders, but
that her trial. in all probability, would
result in vindication OF McNaughton.
Case Again Put Over.
When the governor respited Nc
Naughton Last fall lit was his under
standing that Mrs Flanders would be
tried at the January term of the Eman-
uel court, and he had what he consid-
cred a promise from the state that she
should be. When her case was called
in January, however, 1t was again con-
tinued. 1t is now on the calendar for
the March term.
True 10 his avowed purpose. the gov
ernor today again postponed the SEN
tence of McNaughton until May, eX-
pecting Mrs Flanders to be tried at the
March term.
If Mrs. Flanders is not tried at the
March term the case likely will be con
tinued until the June term, and that
will carry it over from the administra-
ton of Governor Brown into the ad-
mnistration of Governor Slaton.
Whether the governor suspects that
some such purpose is now in the minds
of the Emanuel county officials he has
not said, but if he should find that the
intention is TO get the case away from
him and into some other hands not
committed to any course of action with
respect to McNaughton, it may be that
McNaughton's sentence will be com
muted to life imprisonment, thus MAX
ing it certain that he will be alive when
Mrs. Flanders is tried, if ever, unless
brought to his death by natural causes
Governor in Doubt.
There is evidently an element oil
doubt in the executive mind as to the
guilt of McNaughton-accen by
the persistent refusal of the state to try
her alleged accomplice-an the gov
ernOr plainly is determined that Nc
Naughton shall have the benefit of that
doubt for the present. at least.
Colonel SaffOld, McNaughton's law
yer who is in Atlanta, declares that the
case against Mrs. Flanders never will
be tried so long as McNaughton lives.
If She is not tried at the May tern
the proposition then before the govern
or will be decidedly interesting.

Army To Be Sent
Against Other Rebels.

General Huerta will put an army in
the field to put down the instructions
Of rebel leaders who have designs upon
the presidency.
Among the rebel leaders who, it is
believed, will refuse To recognize the
Huerta government are Gomez, who has
proclaimed himself provisional presi-
dent of Mexico and is organizing an
army along the Rio Grande; Emilio "a
pata who refused to enter Mexico City

PasCual Orozco, Jr, who seeks to be
president Of Mexico. and lneZ SalaZar
whose forces have spent the past yeal
footing and plundering in northern
Mexico under cloak of revolutionary OPP
erations, and a few rebel chieftains OF
minor consequence.
Several members Of Madero's cabinet
who remained loyal TO the former pres
ident are detained in the national pal
ace as traitors to their country"
Juan Azzcona, private secretary to
Madero, escaped from the city in an
automobile when Huerta and Banquet
carried out their coup.
The city was virtually placed under
martial law, as mobs swept through
several streets last night breaking into
buildings and pillaging stores and
dwellings. Huerta placed rurales at
the disposition of banking companies to
guard their property.
Work of cleaning up the streets OF
the city has been commenced Thor
oughfares in the line of fire between the
national palace and the arsenal are
strewn With wreckage and dead bodies.
Red Cross and White Cross aids worked
all night caring for the wounded and
preparing the dead for burial
It is estimated that il will cost $40
100000 TO repair the damage done to
the city. not counting the money which
must be paid out for destruction of for
eign property and for the killing of for
eigners.

Madero Burned
In Effgy by Cadets.

through the streets. Madero was
burned in effigy by a party Of exuber-
ant military cadets. Thus passed away
the glory and honor Of the man who
forced the national palace upon a wave
OF public acclaim two years ago. A
significant feature OF the coup was the

MISSING AMERICAN
MURDERED, IS FEAR
Scotland Yard Gets Clues Which
Point to Attack and Robbery
by London Footpads.

LONDON, April 13.-Clues which
may lead to a solution OF the mystery
surrounding the disappearance OF
Joseph Wilberforce Martin. of Mem
phis. Tenn, are in the possession OF
Scotland Yard. The clues were OBJ
tained through the finding of pock-
etbook identified by the papers found
therein as having been the one car
ried by Martin.
The police afterward searched the
spot where the wallet was found, and
discovered Martins high hat. crushed
and dirty. in the mud of a brickyard
near the Hungerford bridge a place
freQuented by one of the toughest
gangs in all London. The pocketbook
was slashed through with a knife, as
in hurried search for hidden money.
Careful investigation of the hat is
blooGstains which will substantiate
the murder theory on which the police
are now working.
The pocketbook contains Martins

steamer and dozen visiting cards in

ing an honorary membership card for

SENATE DISCUSSES
CIVIL SERVICE PLAN
0verman's Resolution Asking
Report on Employees Sent
to Committee.

Senator Overman's resolution calling
for a comprehensive report from the
Civil Service Commission as to the
operation of the civil service system
came up in the Senate yesterday ant
caused much discussion. This is the res
olution as the result of which some ol
the Democrats in Congress hope to FIND
justification for loading the civil serv-
ice up with Democrats
Senator Overman added to the reso.
luton amendments intended to ascer,
tain the number of civl service en-
ployes who have been covered in with,
out examination and the number pro.
NOTED for causes other than efficiency
from laborers to clerks, also who have
been promoted from laborers to clerks
without having ability to do clerica,
work.
1t appeared that the Overman reso-
luton would require the commission to
present the record of each OF 81. a..
civil service employees. Senator Nc
Cumber pointed out this would require
several volumes.
Senator Overman sent to the desk and
had read letter from the Civil Service
Commission in which it was pointed
out some of the information required
could easily be furnished. but to pre-
pare all the data asked for 81. .472 names
1t was estimated it would cost for ex-
ira help over s2s.OI0. II the work was
to be done without Interference with
other duties of the force. The Commis
sion added that its force was already
working an hour overtime daily. 1t
was stated by the commission that only
q per cent of the entire civil service
had entered without examination and
the number was constantly diminish
ing. Sixty-six and three-tenths per cent
in Washington were examined.
Senator Overman declared IL one-tenth
of what he heard was true. the system
ought TO be Investigated by the Senate
Committee on, Civil Service.
Senators Bristow and Smoot thought
the information demanded would re-
quire much extra work and expense.
After discussion, Senator Cummins
advised that the resolution go to the
Civil Service Committee where. he said,
there was much data. He thought II
possible to avoid printing all the names:
The resolution was finally referred to
the committee.
