ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. PA decision Of the
supreme court of Georgia has just sustained
the sentence of w. T. Douder to the peni-
Tertiary for five years. Douder was school
teacher, and in fifty years Of active service
has taught in all the important points in the
state and counted among his pupils many
who are now prominent figures. Four years
ago he established girls seminary in Ii
thonia, which soon had large attendance,
owing to the high character and
whitened locks of the teacher.
Among his pupils was one fragile
looking girl of about ten years. To her the
teacher took strong liking aud delighted in
aiding her In her studies. For two years all
went well, when it began to be whispered
that singular relations existed between pupil
and teacher. The discovery by the child's
mother that the girl was on the road to
maturity created shock from which she fell
dangerously i'll. Within an hour the girl had
rushed to Dunder and warned him that the
secret WAS out. Taking the child by the arm,
they just had time to board train, and,
reaching Atlanta, they proceeded up the Air

could not be performed, and the couple

married. They were returned to the DeKaib
county Jail, where the old teacher begged
that the child should be left in the cell all
night with him, and SO anxious was she to
stay that she had to be pulled away. Douder
was tried and con victed of kidnapping, and
the decision just rendered leaves him TO his
fate.
