The two thieves were arrested in
Charleston day before yesterday by Spe-
cial officer Scully and brought back to
Savannah and lodged in Jail
Mr. Cralgs family were all away from
home Wednesday afternoon. When Mr.
Craig came in at night he found the
front door open. Sanders was not around
anywhere. On going TO his room he found
lot Of clothing scattered around on the
floor, which he recognized as belonging
TO Sanders. A little investigation showed
that Sanders had disrobed himself even
to his underclothes, and fitted himself
out completely in Mr.. Craig's best
clothes. Further Investigations showed
that all the jewelry in the house had been
taken, including a gold watch, a dia-
mond bracelet and other valuable arti-
cles, and also a Smith & Wesson pistol
belonging to Mr.. Craig.
The detectives were at once notified and
started in search of the thieves They

nah crossing. where they found that the
pair had just taken the train to Charles
ton. Detective Wetherhorn had a negro
spotter with him. A freight train was
passing and the spotter was told to get
aboard, make his way TO Yemassee and be-
gin a search for the thieves there. II he
found them he was to have them arrested
and wire the chief of police here The
spotter Is no fool, though he looks like
one. He did as he was told, and what was
more, he found both of the men and had
them arrested in Charleston on warrants
sworn out by himself. He notified Chief
McDermott and Special officer Scully was
sent TO Charleston to bring the men back
In the meantime Detectives Wetherhorn
ana Kiley were busy recovering articles
which had been sold by the thieves in

learned that Sanders had sold the diamond
bracelet to a negro trainhand on the Port
Royal and Augusta railroad, and who was
then on his run to Augusta. BY wiring
the conductor of the train and giving a
description of the bracelet the latter was
secured before the arrival OF the purchaser
in Augusta. Mr.. Craig has threatened 10
prosecute the parties who purchased tho
stolen goods In Savannah.

court this afternoon Miss Lizzie Leslie
of Boston, Mass, was given a verdict for
1920 against John Rosh of Punta Gorda
for breach Of promise. Miss Leslie sued
for 5000, but the Jury seemed to think
that one-fourth that amount would cover
the damage. The case has occupied the
attention OF the court for two days. and
letters covering a correspondence of two
years were read. Some Of them were very
warm.
over two years ago, while Miss Leslie
was in Boston, she answered an adver-
tisement Rosh had inserted in a matri-
monial paper. A correspondence resulted
and vows were exchanged by letter Some
time ago Rosh wrote Miss Leslie to meet
him In St. Augustine, and he would marry
her. The lady came. but Rosh, after see
ing her, refused to fulfill the engagement
and returned to Punta Gorda, where he
soon after married another girl. Miss
Leslie brought suit against her recreant
lover, with the above result. Rosh has
considerable property, but is said to have
decided it TO his wife before the suit was
instituted. Miss Leslie is q years old
and rather handsome. Her family is said
to be a good one in Boston, and she pos
sesses considerable property in her own
right.

Senator Jones' Luck For Beffiepding .
Poor Inventor.

Senator Jones of Arkansas, who was
chairman of the senate subcommittee that
framed the present tariff law, Is said TO be
destined 10 become q millionaire as a re-
ward for his patience and faith in an &C.
centric inventor of tho name of Graves
down in Arkansas, whom he has befriend-
cd and supported from his own slim in
como for many years. Graves is a man OF
inventive genius, but without money
making faculties. He has produced several
Csoful -mechanisms, but they have never
paid him anything, and he lived In penury
and often in privation until Senator Jones
accidentally saw a method ne had contriv-
ed for COMPRISING cotton into circular in
stead of angular bales. 1t occurred To him
that this was n very important matter,
and he encouraged Graves to develop the
idea, In the meantime furnishing him
with money TO feed himself aud family
aud buy material to carry OF his expert
ments. AS a consideration for this assist
ance the inventor assigned TO his bene-
factor a half Interest," In the patents.
Mr.. Jones one day happened 20 mention
the circumstances TO Senator Camden OF
West ViEk MIA, who afterward repeated the
story 10 William Johnston, the proprietor
of the line of big cargo steamers that carry
cotton and cattle between Baltimore and
Liverpool.
Mr.. Johnston was so much Interested in
the subject taat he started for Little
