ROBBER CAPTURED.
Frank Dolan, Acquitted of Larceny,
Only to be Arrested Again.

Frank Dolan, Acquitted OF Larceny,
Only to be Arrested Again.
Frank Dolan was acquitted of a
charge of larceny at the last term of
court only to be arrested on Monday
night for breaking and entering the
store of Stiner Brothers on Speedwell
avenue. The store had been closed by
the proprieters only short time when
Officer Rolf in passing heard noise
of falling glass. Through the windows
he saw Dolan at work at the money
drawer and recognized the offender.
The officer went to the rear of the
store thinking the thief would try to
escape the way he had entered. Dolan
crawled through small window near
the floor at the front of the store and
thus made his escape. He was arrested
shortly after at his home where he
had retired for the night. He refused
to discuss his latest exploit.
In making his escape from the store
Dolan upset can of red paint and
his clothing was spattered with this
tell-tale color. The prisoner waived
a hearing and was sent to Jail in de-
fault of $500 bail. The police are in
clined to think that the prisoner was
implicated in, and probably response
BILE for the robberies committed here
during the summer months. Dolan
served two years in State Prison for
breaking and entering two Speedwell
avanua stores

DIVORCE sToUTLY Contested.
Mrs. Dukes Given the Custody of Her
Children.

Mrs. Ann Dukes was granted total dl-
vorce in the Superior Court yesterday from
her husband, William Dukes both parties
being given the right TO marry again. The
wife was granted the custody of her TWO
minor children and her maiden name Of
Annie Fisher restored. The husband was
required % pay so a month aimony for
the support of his children until the young
est becomes 16 years Of age.
The cese was on the Superior Court the
greater part Of the day and was closely
contested. The parties were formerly from
Bullock county, but have recently been
living in Savannah. MIR II. b. Strange,
a well-known young attorney of States
boro. represented the plaintiff. while Mr..
W. Il. Slater represented Dukes
The ch1rges were habiuai drunkenness
and cruel treatment The husband, in his
own statement. undertook TO asperse the
character Of his wife, making very serious
charges against her conduct. So vicious,
in fact, were the charges made>by Dukes
that he was reproved by Judge Falligant
for making such statements concerning his
wife. The latter, who was in the court
room with her children and accompanied
by ner sister was a woman of neat and re
fined appearance, and did not bear out in
her manner the vicious charges made
against her by her husband. Considera-
bic evidence was submitted by both sides,
but the bulk Of IL was in the wife's favor
and supported her charges of habiuual
drunkenness and crued treatment on the
part Of her husband.
Judge FalliSanJs charges to the jury
was one of the features of the case. Moth
in arouses the judge so much as when
he believes a woman TO be unjusuy assail-
ed and his charge was delivered with much
feeling. Great stress was laid upon the
sacred rights and duties of the wife and
mother and the protection and considera-
ton 40 which she is entitled from the mal
to whom she ertrusts her life and happ
ness. The jury only required a short time
in which TO make up its verdict as stated
above.
