April 23.— Winatuii Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty and one of the foremoPt ptateamen In England, it was learned to-day, haw been the victim of a most daring and sensational robbery, in which a beau tiful and mysterious young woman is suspected as the poaaible agent of some foreign power. By the theft the First Lord of the Admiralty not only loses $2,500 in money, but highly important confiden tial naval data, such as might eagsr- | ly ba sought as of greatest value to j any nation not too fritndly with Graat Britain. The robbery has greatly aroused | the entire Admiralty, and Mr. Church- 111 has put Scotland Yard detectives on the trail of an aristocratic band which has Ju.st appeared In London. Won the Money at Cards. The First Lord of the Admiralty met with his misfortune immediately after having won the money at cards on the Riviera recently. Shortly after visiting Toulon, Churchill’s cruiser anchored off Cannes, where the First Lord received an invitation to go ashore. He went alone to a fashionable house, noted for high play, where he found many well known society j)er- sons gathered around the tables. Churchill soon w^s engrossed in a game, and after an hour's play found himself richer by $2,500. The First Lord of the Admiralty was warmly congratulated on his sudden streak of luck, especially by a. beautiful young woman, who, witli two aristocratic- looking men, had paid close attention to Churchill and his play.

A few minutes later he took his leave. It was not until he was aboard his cruiser and he started to tell about his luck that he found the wad was missing.

Dillard Htringcr must «orve eighteen months in the penitentiary for stealing $5,000 from an express package in transit by the Southern Express Company between the Brunswick Bank and Trust Company and the Central Bank and Trust Corporation of Atlanta. The young express messenger, who, when arrested, confessed the theft and re turned the entire amount stolen, was arraigned to-day In Wayne Superior Court. He pleaded guilty and Judge Graham, after lecturing him on the evil of ..anting money that was not honestly earned, pronounced sentence. Stringer stole the $5,000 on thc> night of April 16; was arrested two nights later, when he confessed and returned the money; was indicted yesterday and sentenced to-day. Collapses in Court. Stringer made a pathetic statement to the court. He said: “I was drunk and took the money. I brought it here and burled it for safe-keeping. As I got sober, I real ized what I.had done and decided to return the money. I thought of my father and mother and my God, and I wanted to return the money. I would not give it to the detectives, but I wanted to give it to my route agent, Mr. Avery. I asked the express agent in Brunswick to wire Avery to come at once, but he would not do it. I never did anything like this before and I never will again. 1 want to ask the mercy of the court.” During his statement Stringer was very nervous and collapsed into his seat when he finished, the judge hav ing to repeat his order to stand up while he was delivering the sentence. - Plea From Homo Town. A petition lrom Stringer’s home town of .Pine Park was directed to the Solicitor General, requesting that as light a sentence as possible be im posed. It was signed by all, of the leading citizens cf the little town. B. A. Alderman, a merchant from Pine Park, was in court and made a state ment to thf? judge concerning the pre vious good character of the prisoner. He stated that Stringer had a good reputation at home, was never known to drink or carouse, and that the news of the robbery was a shock to the vil lage. Stringer is a member of the Baptist Church and was serving as clerk of the Pine Park church up to the time he went to work for the express com pany. The parting between the boy and his old father was very touching. As his father told him to be a good boy, Stringer made a brave effort to hold up, but as the jail door swung open he broke completely down, and, throwing his arms around his father’s neck, wept like a child. After a moment he recovered, and, handing his father a letter, went into the jail. C. E. Stringer, the father, and Mr. Alderman, Stringer’s former employ er, prepared to leave at once for home. ■i Established 1865 EISEMAN BROS., Inc.
