Dr.. NJ 'NAUCHTON
IS GIVEN PAROLE
AFTER TEN YEARS

Dr. w. J. McNaughton, who is
win county prison farm, for the al
legel murder of Fred Flanders, In
Emanuel county, June l, 1910, was
paroled Wednesday morning by Gov
ernor Hardwick after ten years serv-
ice. He will be liberated probably
upon receipt by the prison authorl-
ties of official notice of the COVER
nors action. He will, it is said, come
to Atlanta, to engage in the prac-
tice of medicine.
In paroling McNaughton, the gov
ernor was influenced in part by the
repeated recommendations of the
prison. commission and in part by
by his personal opinion of the case,
based upon a careful review of the
record of the original trial and the
Judgment of the state supreme court.
The governor wrote and made pub
lie a comprehensive statement, set
ting forth his views, and this will
form the final chapter in the record
Of the celebrated case, that will be
filed in the archives of the executive
department.
McNaughton, who was practicing
physician, and a widower, was JOINT
ly indicted in Emanuel county with
Mrs. Fred Flanders, wife of the de-
ceased, for whose death the physi-
clan was convicted Of murder and
originally sentenced to hang.
Contention CT State
The deceased and Mrs. Flanders
lived in McNaughton's home at the
time of the alleged murder, and IT
was the contention of the state at
the trial that a criminal intimacy
between McNaughton and Mrs. Elan
ders was the motive for the alleged
poisoning of Flanders with arsenic.
After McNaughton's conviction, in
October, 1910, and his sentence to
death, the indictment against Mrs.
Flanders was nolle pressed BY the
state, and this circumstance has
since influenced the prison commits
sion and Governor Hardwick in their
consideration Of the case.
The death sentence of McNaugh
ton was committed by Governor Sla-
ton to life Imprisonment. since which
time the prison commission repeated
ly has recommended to succeeding
governors that freedom be granted
the physician. Governors Brown,
Harris and Dorsey disapproved rec
concentrations Of the commission.
