Il Charged with Theft by Her sunday-
school Teacher.

ATLANTA. GA. July ia charge OF
burglary was brought by Mrs W. X. Jes-
ter against Miss Emma Dimmon last Fri
day, but information about 1T was sup
pressed unit! to-day, when there was
sensarioiA demonstration by the con-
ercgation oil the fashiorable St. Paul
Methodist church. which was inspired by
the accusation.
Miss Dimon IS the daughter of the Rev.
:. IL. Dimon pastor of ST. Pauls and
Mrs. Jester d. her Sunday-schOOl teacher
Both are highly connected and have been
identified with church work In Atlanta
for years. Some months ago jewelry 20
the value Of $50 WIS stolen from the resi-
dence of Mrs Jester, and detectives who
were put to work on the case arrested
two negro servants whom the court ulti-
mntciy dism ssed.
The matter was dropped until last
Friday when Mrs Jester invited Miss
Dimon into her house, and after openly
accusing hcr OF the theft, demanded the
immediate return Of the stolen articles.
The young woman went into Mysteries
and had 20 Dee carried to her home. She
told her parents what had happened. and
Or. Dimon Immediately waited upon Mrs.
Jester. who declined TO see him. He
then communicated the facts 10 the Of
fcers OF the church. with recommends
tlon that they make an immediate and
thorough investigation. and the good
deacons told their families all about ii.
Yesterday both Mrs. Jester and Miss Di-
mon attended the church. Just before
Dr. Dimon began his discourse almost
tho entire aggregation left that part ot
the auditorium In which Mrs. Jester was
seated and crowded around the Dimon
pew. At the conclusion Of the ceremonies
several hundred people made il "a point 10
shake hands with the young lady and
she held quite prolonged reception.
At its conclusion large number OF la
dies walked with her to her home and
others sent her flowers. II is said that
Mrs. Jester has sworn out a warrant for
the arrest OF Miss Dlmon. but IL could
not be learned to-day whether or not this
was a fact. Dr. Dimon. however SAYS
that he proposes to have the court pass
upon the accusation against his daughter.
