The robbery has greatly aroused the entire Admiralty, and Mr. Church ill haa put Scotland Yard detectives on the trail of an aristocratic band which has just 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, rioted for high play, where he found many well known society per sons gathered around the tables. Churchill soon was 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, with two aristocratic- looking men, had paid (“lose attention to Churchill and his piay.

J Dillard Stringer must serve eighteen months m the penitentiary for stealing $.'>,000 , from an express package in transit I by tlie 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 wanting money that wasTiot honestly earned, pronounced sentence. Stringer stole the $5,000 on tho» 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 T never will again. I 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 lie was delivering the sentence. Plea From Home Town. A petition from Stringer’s home town of Pine Park was directed to tlie Solicitor General, requesting that as* light a sentence as possible be im posed. It was signed by all of the leading citizens of the little town. B. A. Alderman, a merchant from Pine Park, was in «^>urt and made a state ment to the Ji^^e concerning the pre vious good- character of the prisoner. He stated 401* l Stringer had a good reputatlpn 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 nerving 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.
