and sworc that he was married to Emma Dal-
zeH. Another witness was presented. a lame
man. who swore to her adultery and on these
perjured representations the divorce was
granted. Mr.. Daizell arrived here at abou,
The same time. and was Immediately married
to his long patient lady love, a roung woman
OF unimpeaehahle character, who has made
him devoted wife. The marriage was kept
as quiet as possible None but the most in
fimate and confidential friends received cards.
The advice of Mr.. Fisher was followed,
which was to allow the whole proceeding to
remain silent for one year. and thus prevent
any possibility of Mrs. Emma DalEelI's ap-
pearing to break the divorce. Mr.. d. paid
Fisher his fee of s., 600. Neither himself nor
his present wife knew of the fraud Fisher had
perpesrated to divorce Mr.. Dalzell and secure
his fee.
KING & co.-A FAILURE.
Two weeks after marriage, Mr.. Dalzell re-
ceived word that King, his partner. had alb
seconded with 100000 of his Dalzell'sl
money, and that he was q ruined man in con-
sequence. They had large credits in Eng
land but King, it appears had informed
Mrs, Emma palzell of the divorce obtained
and of Mr.. ID. s marriage. She Immediately
followed Kings advice, aud stopped pay
ment TO Dalzeil OF the sums to his credit in
Eagland This sudden trrn in tho whiriigig
of American life bankrupted Mr.. Dslzell. but
did not crush him for his long career of up
right business life had secured him many
able friends, who extended to him the neces-
sary funds to begin business again. He did
so, and is in San Francisco, prospering and
rising.
FROM OVER THE SEAS.
came recently Mrs Emma Dalzell to under
take to obtain alinony and counsel fees. or TO
revoke the decree for divorce, since it has
been fraudulently Obtained. In this she is
backed by Mr.. Dalzell's own relatives, who
are intensely disguised to think that he should
marry an American woman who may give
him son, and thus transfer an English title
and estate to Americans. Mr.. Dalzell is first
heir to the Somersetshire coronet and to an
immense estate, after the living heir, who is
a deformed ungainly dwarf, sickly youth,
liable to die without q moments warning.
Mrs. Da'Zell no sooner arrived than, contrary
to the habits of an opium eater, she display
ed the most consumate tact in ferreiting out
the circumstances Of the divorce. the means
employed. and who were the instruments.
She found the Offices and boarding places
where Fisher and his false witnesses resided.
and visited certain uptown mansions which
are froquented by Mrs. Minnie Dalzell, wife
number two. Last week she caused

and all duplicated with him in the fraud.
They were taken before Justice Walsh last
Saturday, and preliminary examination was
granted. S. V. Lowell. referee in tee d.
vorce case, recognized Frank f. Archibald
rs the person who represented himself as
Augustus S. Dalzell in the suit. Judge Walsh
held Mr.. Fisher in 81 500 bail to appear to-
morrow. when some of the above facts may
be elected. The theft of the iudcmen. roll
in the case of Dalzell against Dalzell was
traced to Mr.. Holt. a clerk in Fishers Office.
The roll has not been discovered. It's loss
will canse TO little annoyance. nnd probably
be the means of the escape Of Fisher and his
accomplices. The roll was stolen in May.
hut DO action was instituted by the District
Attorney until after the arrival Of Mrs. Dal-
zell ber one from England.
WHEREABOUTS OF Mr.. DALzELL.
The assertion that Mr.. Dazell had under
taken to isolate himself or keep his address
secret is r,ere fancy. His business relations
extended over the continent, aud his reputa-
ton everywhere is that of finished gentle
man and business man. The attorneys for
the plaintiff are not named. Those engaged
for Mrs. Dazell number one ere Messrs
Pray, knaebel and Pray.
THE PERSONS DIRECTLY INTERESTED
are the bloods of England, who look upon Mr..
Dalzell's alliance with an American wife
with jealousy, since by his English wife he
had no male issue. They ere furnishing the
means by which Mrs. Dazell number one
hopes to have the divorce set aside as illegal
ly obtained. 1t is probable that she will sue
ceed in this. The facts wholly Justify that
course and would annual the marriage of Mr.. d.
with his American wife. AS it stands, Mrs.
Emma Dalzel has her child by her first hus-
hand and 8 daughter by marriage with Mr..
u. When Mrs. Dalzell number one married
Mr.. D. he was nearly millionaire. He is
to-day poor man, but with brilliant pros
pec's.
The case involves points which have never
before been brought to the consideration of an
American court. There is the stolen judg-
ment roll. the periured lawyer, false husband
of Mrs. Emma Dalzell, the absconded King,
the bankruptcy of the central figure. which
throws shadow of romance around the whole.
Nothing particularly new, with the above an
ticlpated developments, can be brought to
light; vet great interest will be taken in the
trial. There is abundance of English capital
backing tie effnrt to set the divorce aside.
What the plaintiff in the case can offer in ex-
tenuation remains to be developed.
