FROM THE GALLOWS TO A FORTUNE.

HENRY JU-MPERTZ HEIR. TO 'WEALTH.
(Prom the: Chicago Herald, July 4)

"Wc sitifjeiterday a letter from the Prussian Consulate,
resident at-New York, addressed to Grcenehaum, Bros.,
making inquiries ai to the thereabouts of Heinrich Jum-
pertz, stating that a lady residing near the place of his
nativity bud died recently, leaving Henry, his brother
Franz; !and one' or two others, heirs to a vast estate con-
sisting of lands, stoCks, and money, and • requesting the
(fresnebairm, bankers, to make out out such docu-
ments as were necessary to secure to Henry his share in
the legacy, The letter stated several circumstances
which leave no doubt that Henry Jumpertz, so well
known• to the citizens of Chicago, In connection with.
the Sophia \Verner tragedy, or "barrel mystery," as it
bee been termed, is the tortnnate • legatee. Bonn is
gived dg lirs birthplace ; 1831 as the.year of his birth ;
it is stated that be eame to this country with his brother
Franz from • whom lie' parted in . New York city,
and that he had been tried and acquitted on a charge,
the nature of which was not stated ; and other circum-
stances were mentioned which leave the identification
conipfcte.,

A rurnantc, /'hid] has almost been a tragedy, has
this young man's hi,tory been. • Saved from a fate
which at one time seemed :nc,itable, by: the eloquence,
earnestness, and the untiring effoits of
.his counsel ;
thrown out upon the world again, his Dine all exhausted
in the long trials through which he had passedi willing to
exit support, but denied the opportunity, for suepieiess
and distrtig mot him at every step, until, time and again,
he looked back Witt tcgret to the long days of suspense,
but kindness and plenty be had spent in jail, and almost
repined at the fortune which weal him from the gal-
lows, hut had given instead, hungeiv and cold and
contumely. A few friends, who still bellived him
innocent, came to his assistance. Fund, were sup'pgied
E're, abandoning hia original intention to live down
the Otipioblitin.., which the greater part of the commu-
nity heaped *hi he went to St. Louis. Under
an assumed naine—fole the press had made the
name of Jtunpertz nutoriew—he followed his
trade ; and afterwards, we believe, was employed as a
barber on one of the river steamboats. Where be is now
we do not know. There are friends in the city, bow-
eier; who, we believe, are aciinainted with his where-
Alai, Aid have no doubt his good fortune will find
him out. It is in b hoped that the bitter lessons of the
past will serve him in giSoii etcad in the future to which
he is called.
