CHURCH ROBBER
IS F|ANCE Of
RICH WIDOW
Dashing Young Thief Won Heart
of $4,000 Heiress by Cor
respondence.

Investigation Saturday By Chief Of
Detectives Lanford into the career ~
Charles Stewart. Mellin. the dapper
young man from New York and Mil
waukee who confessed that he robbed
FIVE Atlanta churches because "he
was up against 1t and needed the
money, brought forth information
that he was planning to wed $40,
900 widow" at the time of his arrest
Chief Lanford believes Mellin
turned burglar to get funds with
which to go to San Francisco and
carry out his matrimonial plans.
Meilin will make no statement fur
Their than to reiterate his declaration
that ne simply needed money
chief Lanford examined Mellin's
suit case Saturday and found batch
of spondenCe with the Mission
Unity Cores pondence club, No, 1851
Twenty fourth street San Francisco,
through which the marriage was De
ing arranged. Mellin, who hal
been in Atlanta only week and WAS
stopping at No. 3 Houston street,
some time ago had filed formal appli-
cation with the Unity Club for a wife,
and had been formally introduced to
the wealthy widow by mail. Her ad-
dress has not been learned by Chief
LanfuTd, but the letters indicate that
she is near San Francisco.
one letter written by Melin, which
he had been unable to mail because
OF his arrest, explained that he was
ready and anxious to marry at once.
The description Of the beauty and tai
ents Of the dashing young widow,
with the guaranteed bonus of the
$40. 600 fortune, had appealed strongly
TO Mellin and decided his future.
In writing for a wife Mellin had
required that she be young and pref
~, not more than 80 years old and
that she have money. He described
himself as young and good looking
and said he was satisfied he would
make "a good husband" According
to the correspondence, the widow i'm
mediately Capitulate1.
Whether the arrest of young Mellin
will break up the romantic marriage
remains to be seen. There will at
least, be a temporary postponement,
said Chief Lanford.
Mellin is in Tower cell in default
of bond of 81 900, fixed Friday after
noon by Recorder Broyles. Melln
frankly admits that he stole electric
fans and lamps from the Baptist Tab
ernacle, the First Methodist Church,
the First Presbyterian Church, the
Second Baptist Church and the Sa-
cred Heart Church.

of New Guinea. Other tribes Of the
country, while they have great fear
Of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a
bartering trade with them. They
bring salt, earthenware, dried fish. etc.,
and deposit them in certain indicated
place. They then retire for few
hours, being notified to do so by a Gu
nous cry from the distance. The
mountain dwellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. II
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins. feathers and 9TH
er jungle produce, next to those arti-
Giles wanted by them. Then they re-
tire In turn. and when the way seems
clear the coast dwellers approach
again. II the latter are satisfied with
what Is offered in exchange they take
the goods put down by the mountain
people and go away; If not satisfied
they retire again as before with empty
hands.-Argonaut.
