Another Shocking Murder near Phi
IadeIDhia.

From the Philadelphla American, MONDAY
Upon the farm of DR.. Tiedeman, of this
city, situated near Gwynned, along the line
of the North PENNSYLVANIA railroad, some
time ago was found the dead body of a
German named julius Worhele, evidently
murdered. 1t now looks as though justice
had at last claimed its victim, and that the
murderer is discovered.
Worhele came from Wurtemburg to
Philadelphia in the year 1865. He was
young, and of good character and presence :;
by trade bookbinder. Shortly after his
arrival here he made the acquaintance OF
an unknown man, and during last winter
left his last place of employment in Phila-
delphia in company with him. A short
time afterwards Worhele'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 de-
ceased 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 a man
who at that time gave his<Tame as Jacob
or Joseph Haddop, and Who shortly after
wards disappeared.afso
During Aprh last w. L. Kiderlen, Esq,
Consul ofWurtemburg in this city, re-
ceiyed Information from his Government
that letter had found it's way directed to
| the relatives and guardian of the said
Worhele, at Rosenfeld, the native place
of the same, and apparently written by
Worhele, in which letter the guardian was
informed that Worhele was in distress, and
| asked to be furnished money, the pre-
tended 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 exchange,
the answer to be directed: "Julius Wor-
hele, care of Reading Office" rms
letter was at once declared by the relatives
of Worhele to be forgery.
Upon this information the Consul, Mr..
Kiderlen, sent decoy letter, directed
"Julius Worhele, care of Reading post
office" enclosing draft Of one hundred
forms, payable at the Consulate oil ur,
temburg at Philadelphia, and requested
the recipient Of the letter to have his
signature acknowledged before notary
oublic.
On the 1st of this month a German no.
| tary public of Philadelphia, julius W OH,
ESQ, acting representative of the Consul
late of Wurtemburg at Philadelphia, re-
ceiyed a letter from the President OF the
First National Bank at Allentown, enclos-
ing the aforesaid decoy letter of exchange,
and requesting the Consulate to pay SAID
draft, which had been signed and acknow-
lodged by the alleged julius Worhele be-
fore 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 TINS case,
and strictly acted in good faith. :,
Upon the receipt of this letter py Mr.
Wolf. the arrest of the pretended julius
Worhele was caused forthwith by Justice
Forman, the justice of the peace aiore-
said. and it was now ascertained that the
pretended Julius Worhele was nobody else
but the identical Jacob or Joseph Haddop,
with several other aliases, who, as above
stated. had been formerly employed al Dr.
Tiedeman's farm, and evidently was the
murderer of the real julius Worhele. Inc
incentive appears to have been the posses
SION of Worhele's patrimony in Germany,
a ann that will amount to some thousands
of forms. The accused, who is twenty
five wears of age, and native OF bade si
! will be tried at the next term OF tne Mon nv
romery County Criminal Court, whhe .he
charge of forgery will. also hang over mn
in the county Of Lehigh, Pa.
