CLEVER DIAMOND THIEF.
He Steals SparkIer Worth $3.50
With an Apples Assistance.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Men who are more than six feet tall
and who eat apples are regarded with
distrust by every jewelry store in State
street. The reason for this is theft that
occurred last week in one of the most
prominent stores. The work was neatly
done, and the combination of a tall man.
eating an apple, makes every clerk and
floor detective suspicious
distinguished looking stranger with
white hair and white beard strolled into
a State street store last Saturday and
asked TO see some diamond rings. The
clerk reached for them, leaving one tray
hlled with expensive rings on top of
the show case
Here they are" he said. placing the
second tray beside the first. AS he did
so the tall man. who had been MUNICH
ing at fine russell apple, threw the core
into the street
he and the clerk went over the rings
in the trays, but he could find none that
he wanted to buy. AS he turned to go
the clerk discovered that a ring worth
$3.50 was missing. The clerk disliked to
accuse the Distinguishing looking strans-
er OF having stolen the ring There was
prospect of suit for damages against
the accusation should be found ground
less. Still, if he let the man get away
with the ring it would mean that he
would have to pay for it. Torn between
these positions the clerk finally limited
that the customer must have seen the
ring.
of course I saw 1t. I had 1t in my
hand only a moment ago. All, I catch
your meaning. You want to infer that
i Be careful, sir; you do not know
who l am. l won't put up with any
such nonsense"
The stranger, despite his protests, was
searched, but the ring was not found.
The jeweler was apprehensive of a big
suit for damages until the detectives
found that the tall man is an old-time
hotel thief who wins out often on the
strength of his impressive appearance.
The way he got away with the ring was
to slip In into the half-eaten apple he
held in his hand and then to throw the
apple into the street where a confederate
picked 1t up and got away, and the tall
man could stand a search with safety.

MOL PRosEaUEs TAKEN.
defendants in Bank Cases Were MOI
Charged With EmbezzIement.

thdr4eu WIN mDeZEIemenN.
Brunswick, Ga, June 24.-By court re-
cords and statements made by every at
torney connected. with the case, as well
as by a supplementary statement made
from the bench by presiding Judge Sea-
brook, Mr.. A. H.. Lane, former vice pres
ident of the defunct Merchants and Trad
ers Bank, was to-day fully exonerated
in Glynn Superior Court from the charge
of felony preferred in an indictment hand
ed down by the grand jury some months
ago. A mol prosecute was petittoned for
and granted Not only was the defendant
fully absoved from any legal or moral
wrong doing. but 1t developed from the
statement of Solicitor General John w
Bennett, made I'm open court, that he had
advised the grand jury that found the
Indictment that from moral standpoint
they were going against the wishes of
everyone in anyway connected with the
case, and written agreement that had
been entered into by all the attorneys in
the case solemnly made in the presence
OF and by the consent of a former pre-
siding judge, and Furthermore he stated
TO the jury that from a legal standpoint
ne doubted very much If there was any
merit in the case or the Indictment which
they subsequently found
The correspondent wishes to state that
by an unintentional error the cases
against Mr.. Lane and DIR. Madden have
been referred to in these dispatches as
being for "embezzlement." Such has
never been charged and the indictment
read felony" while as a matter Of fact
sufnclent was developed in open court to-
DAY to show that not even the crime of
felony could be alleged. In fact each at
torney, inclusive of those for the banks
receiver, for the prosecution and for the
defense, as well as the Judge, laid stress
on the fact that 1t was not evident that
any crime had been committed by either
Mr. Lane or DR.. Madden and in granting
an order to mol pross the case Judge Seq
brook congratulated the attorneys on
having asked that the order be granted
and the county not put to the expense of
such heavy trial as was promised If
allowed to continue
Immediately following the disposal of
the case of Mr.. Lane, that of Dr. Mad
den, who was president of the bank at
the time of its failure, was called The
charge against DR.. Madden was also
fetony,, and not "embezzlement," as
inadvertantiey stated in these dispatches
and as the features of the indictment and
the settlements which anedated the in
dictments were identically the same as in
the case Of Mr.. Lane, the solicitor re-
quested that the same disposition be
made of it, which action was taken.

Douglas, Ga, June 2.-The people OF
Douglas and all along the line Of the
Waycross Air Line Railroad are delight
ed at the new mail service, secured

The "Old Reliable" gets to Douglas now
at go o'clock a. m. each day, three hours

On Saturday afternoon ]. ]. Morgan,
an old disabled battle-scarred veteran,
pleaded guilty to selling whisky without
a license last year at Nichols under the
following circumstances He stated that
he sold for another party, who showed
him a license and told him 1t was all
right, and IL any trouble came up that
he (Morgan) could not be hurt, and the
old man not having average intelligence
sold It, and was too honest to deny it,
Judge Dart gave him a light sentence,
49, costs Included, or six months. All the
officers gave the old man their costs. and
an effort Will be made to pay the re-
mainder by subscription 1t looks strange
that liquors can be sold in an open saloon
In Douglas, in a high license county, and
like others not pay the high license, and
yet no trial for the offense, and If others
sell, they are hauled up and il proven
guilty or admit their guilt, are fined for
It, 1t is to be hoped that the courts at
an early date will rule in this matter
and either close up the business. or II
legal, allow all who desire to do So to sell.
If IL is not legal for one party it cannot
be legal for another.

ABOUT SIXTY LIVES LOST.
North Fork Branch of Norfolk and
Western Badly Damaged,

New York, June 24-Word was received
by Henry Fink, president of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad, to-day from Gen
eral Manager Johnson to the effect that
the total loss Of life by the West Virginia
foods would amount 10 about sixty Con-
siderable damage had been done to
number of mines, but some of the more
important were only slightly damaged
and would begin loading coal tomorrow.
The dispatch adds that the flood of wa
ter was enormous in some PAGES. At the
town of Ennis the rise had amounted to
six feet in thirty minutes. The rapidty
of the approach of the flood, the dispatch
says. was responsible for the fact that so
many lives were lost.
Mr.. johnson reported that the North
Fork branch of the Norfolk and Western
was nearly all washed away and that it
would take considerable time to repair it.
