tOnoWlng particulars OF q fearful crime we're
brought to light on Saturday morning. Upon
the farm Of DR.. Tiedeman, of this city, situate
near Gwynedd, along the line of the North
Pennsylvania Railroad, some time ago. was
found the dead body of q German named Julius
Worbele, evidently murdered. It now looks as
though the murderer has been discovered.
Worhele came from Wurtemburg to Phila-
delpbia in the year 1865. He was young, and Of
good character and presence by trade book
binder. Shortly after his arrival here he made
the acquaintance OF an unknown man, aud
during last winter left his last place of employ
ment in Philadelphia, in company with him.
short time afterwards Worhee's dead body was
found as above described. An inquest held at
the time by William Forman, Esq, justice OF the
peace at Montgomery Square, clearly established
the fact that the deceased had been murdered.
His head was smashed in. 1t was also proved
that he was enticed TO said place, which was
then unoccupied, and left in the care OF man,
who at that Time gave his name as Jacob or
Joseph Haddop, and who shortly afterwards
disappeared also
sui of Wurtemburg in this city, received infor-
nation from his Government that a letter had
found IFS way directed to the relatives and
guardians of the said Worhele, at Rosented
the native place of the same, and apparently
written by Worhele in which letter the guar
dian was informed that Worhele was in distress,
and asked to be furnished money, the pretended
Worhele informing the family that he at that
time resided in Reading, Pa, and requesting
that the money might be sent, payable to a
letter OF excnange, the answer 20 oe q aireGTSG Te
letter was at once declared by the relatives OF
Worhele to be a forgery.
Upon this information, the consul, Mr. Rider-
len, sent deeoy letter, directed Julius Wor
hele, care of Reading p. o." enclosing draft
of 100 FORMS payable at the Consulate of Wur-
temburg at Philadelphia, and requested the
recipient of the letter to have his signature ac-
knowledged before notary public.
On the lst of this month a German notary
public of Philadelphia, julius Wolff, ESQ., acting
representative of the consulate of Wurtemburg
at Philadelphia, received a letter from the Pre-
sident of the First National Bank at Allentown,
enclosing the aforesaid decCy letter OF exchange,
and requesting the consulate to pay said draft,
which had been signed and ackno wledged by
the alleged Julius Worhele before notary
public at Allentown, to the order OF said bank.
The President and the notary at Allentown were
of course unaware Of the circumstances OF this
case and acted strictly in good faith.
Upon receipt of this letter by Mr. Wolf, the
arrest of the pretended Julius Worhele was
caused forthwith by Justice Forman, the Justice
of the peace Aforesaid, and il was now ascer
tanned that the pretended Julius Worhele was
nobody else but the identical Jacob or Joseph
HaddOp, with several other aliases who,
above stated, had been formerly employed at
Or. Tiedeman's farm, and evidently was the
murderer of the real julius WOrhele. The in
centive appears to have been the possession of
Worhele's patrimony in Germany, a sum that
will amount to some thousands OF horins. The
accused, who is twenty-five years of age, and
native of Baden, will be tried at the next term
OF the Montgomery county Criminal Court,
while the charge of forgery will also hang over
him in the county of Lehigh, Pennsylvania.

ton outrigeer wink, of the Undine Club. opened

tween the barges Thistle" of the Quaker City
