Some Correspondence That Shows
How 1t Stood.
TEAR MIR. WATSON: Please
HNg give us the difference be-
tween the Frank case and
the McNaughton case One
man, discussing the two cases
here said that the only difference
that did exist was in Franks favor,
that of the doubt of the trial Judge
and that they both had the same
trial, appeals, etc. that the Prison
Commission turned down his appli-
cation as they did in Franks case,
before Governor Brown reduced his
sentence. Please show us the SINH
larities and also wherein they diff
fered. Yours very truly,
P. A. BLANCHARD.
On receipt of the above, I wrote
to my old friend, Hon. F. H. Stafford,
as follows:
Dear Frank:
Please give me the facts in the
McNaughton case, as indicated
above. Truly, T. E w.
Mr.. Safford's answer follows
SAFFOLD & JORDAN
Attorneys at LAU
Swainsboro, Ga, June %, 1915.
My Dear Mr.. Watson:
Your letter requesting inforna-
tion in the McNaughton case lily to
hand and, as you want to use this
information in an early issue of The
JeffersOnian, | hasten to give you
the marked difference in this case
and the Frank case.
Doubtless you have read the re-
port Of the McNaughtor case, found
in 1876 Ga, page 800. You will note
a popularity in this decision in this,
the opinion, (Gnd the only opinion
rendered) IS the opinion of Judge
Atkinson, who dis jerted from the
other judges who affirmed the de-
cisions of the court below; and
Judge Atkinson's dissenting opinion
is, in my judgment, the law of the
State, and shows conclusively that
there was not evidence sufficient to
convict DR.. McN&ughton. He
passes upon the sufficiency of evil
dence to convict, while in the Frank
case, as I understand it, all the
judges agreed that the verdict was
correct and the dissenting opinion
was to the ruling on minor and un-
JmDOrtant Questions
In the next place, the taking of
the McNaughton case to the Supreme
Court was done on motion for a re-
hearing, in which the question was
raised that there were only three
judges presiding who he;4rd the case,
when there are six judges, three of
whom did not hear the writ setting
up the constitutional right of the
defendant to be heard in person or
by attorney before the court or the
tribunal passing upon his case.
After the writ of error to the Su-
preme Court of the United States
was signed, some ne-v evidence was
discovered. One Seaborn Bell gave
the information that just before Mr..
Flanders was taken ill., during which
illness he died, he was taking medi-
cine at Stillmore on his way home
from Thomasvile, and in dropping
it the first time he poured it out,
Mrs. Bell, wife of SeG born Bell, said
to him, "You seem to be very par
ticular with this medicine" to which
Mr.. Flanders replied, that che had

way In this matter would be glad
to do SO. This case Is upon my
heart because / honestly and sim
cerely believe that he is now a SUIT
fering and innocent man, a man who
had done no wrong either with the
wife Of the deceased or in his adj
ministration as a physician to her
husband.
With highest personal regards, !
beg to remain, yours very truly,
F. Ell. SAFFOLD.

RYE IS SWORN IN AS
 GOVERNOR OF STATE
DECLARED BY MANY TO BE BEST GOVERNOR TENNESSEE EVER
 DID HAVE.

Nashville.-Thos. C. Rye was sworn in as governor of Tennessee by M M. Neil, chief justice of the supreme court The inaugural ceremonies took place at the Ryman Auditorium, where Mir. Rye received the Democratic nom- ination last May and was made the standard-bearer of his party.
 The convention that nominated him was one of the greatest gatherings that ever assembled in Tennessee. It represented the ground swell that overspread the state in demand for reunited party. The magnificent ma jority of nearly z4,000 given MT. Rye in the November erection vindicated that choice. Those who heard his re, affirm of his campaign pledges and consercrate himself to the service of the state believe that Tennessee has entered into nv era.

TURKS OCCUPY CITY
 OF TIBRIz PERSIA
RUSSIANS EVACUATE IT TO SEND TROOPS WEST AND PERSlANS
 ARE POWERLESS.

London.-A Turkish detachment has occupied the Persian city of Tab rig, according to a keuter dispatch from Petrograd.

 The occupation of Tabriz, which Is the capital of the province of Azerbi jan was rendered comparatively easy by the recent withdrawal of Russian forces to meet the forces in the west. That Tabriz was taken without blood shed is not yet known, bSt in the ab- sence of Russian troops it is not like ly that Persia was able to offer any serious resistance.
