From another newspaper article found on ancestry.com (from Lawrence Journal World, June 19, 1908):

TRUTH ABOUT DULEN.
-----
His Wife Was With Him and so Was His Sister-in-Law.
-----
     Following is the Leavenworth Times' recount of the Dulen affair:
     Columbus C. Dulen, alias C. C. Donald, alias C. C. Dooling, and an ex-soldier, employed by the Callum Commeree company as a solicitor in Leavenworth was arrested yesterday by Thomas Larkin, deputy sheriff, for the theft of $159 worth of merchandise from his employers. He was taken to the county jail and will be arraigned on the charge of embezzlement in the city court today. The same officer yesterday located Miss Mathews, Dulen's sister-in-law, whom he is charged with kidnapping.
     Dulen was captured at the military prison, where he enlisted Tuesday for the prison guard. Larkin had previously visited the prison seeking Dulen, and when his name appeared on the rolls, following his enlistment, the officers in charge of the guards notified the sheriff's office. Larkin receives a reward of $10 each for the capture of Dulen and the recovery of his sister-in-law.
     The articles which Dulen is said to have stolen were taken Saturday. He peddled them about town and the officers are now engaged in locating them.
     When asked yesterday why he had stolen the goods, he replied:
     "Oh, I was hard up and needed the money. That's all."
     Dulen was formerly a soldier here in the Thirteenth infantry. When he was discharged from the army upon the expiration of his enlistment in April, he went to Lawrence. He returned to Leavenworth a short time ago. He was accompanied by his wife and her 15-year-old sister, the Miss Mathews taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff Larkin yesterday. The girl's parents did not know of her whereabouts and offered a reward for her return home. Both the girl and her sister, Mrs. Dulen, have been working at a hotel in Lansing since their arrival in Leavenworth."

According to Leavenworth County, Kansas, marriage record transcripts, Columbus Dulen married Rosa Matthews on October 13, 1906.

According to U.S. Army enlistment records, Christopher C. Dulen (b. Morgan County, Kentucky) joined on June 16, 1908 in Leavenworth, Kansas, and was discharged without honor on July 21, 1908 at the U.S. Military Prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

When Christopher Dulen's World War I draft registration card was filled out on September 12, 1918 in Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas, he stated that he was a clerk working for Lawrence Paper Manufacturing Company in Lawrence, Kansas, that his closest relative was "Wife Rosa Dulen" of Connecticut, Lawrence County, and that he was born March 14, 1883.
