KING co.--A FAILURE.
Two weeks after marriage, Mr.. Dalzell re-
ceived word that King, his partner, had alb
seconded with $500 900 of his (Dalzells)
money, and that he was a ruined man in con-
sequence They had large credits in England
but King, it appears, had informed Mrs.
Emma Dalzell of the divorce obtained, and OF
Mr.. DalzelIs marriage. She Immediately fol
lowed Kings advice, and stopped payment to
DalZe1 of all sums to his credit in England.
This sudden turn in the whirligig of Ameri-
can life bankrupted Mr.. Dalzell, but did not
crush him; for his long career of upright
business life had secured him many able
friends, who extended to hlm the necessary
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 alimony and counsel fees, or to
revoke the decree for divorce, since it had
been fraudulently obtained In this she is
backed by Mr.. Dalzell's own relatives, who
are intensely disgusted 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 deformed ungainly dwarf, siclily youth,
liable to die without a moments warning.
Mrs. Dazell no sooner arrived than, contrary
to the habits of an opium eater, she displayed
the most consummate tact in ferreting out the
circumstances of the divorce, the means en-
ployed, 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
frequented 10y Mrs. Minnie DaIzell, wife
number two. Last week she caused
THE ARREST OF FISHER
and all implicated with him in the fraud.
They were taken before Justice Walsh last
Saturday. and preliminary examination was
granted S. V. Lowell, referee in the divorce
case, identified Frank E. Archibald as the
person who represented himself as Augustus
S. Dalzell in the suit. Judge Walsh held Mr..
Fisher in $500 bail to appear tomorrow,
when some of the above facts may be elected.
The theft Of the Judgment roll in the case of
Dalzell VS.. Dalzell was traced to MIR. Holl,
clerk in Fishers office. The roll has not been
discovered. It's loss will cause no little an
noyance, and probably be the means of the
escape of Fisher and his accompices The
roll was stolen in May but no action was in
stituted by the District Attorney until after
the arrival of Mrs. Dalzell number one from
England.
WHEREABOUTS OF MIR. DALzELL.
The assertion that Mr.. DalzeIl had under
taken to isolate himself or keep his address Il
secret is mere fancy His business relations
extended and extend over the continent, and
his reputation everywhere is that of finished
gentleman and upright business man. The
attorneys for the plaintiff are not named
Those engaged for Mrs. Dalzell number one
are Messrs. Pray, Knaebel 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 are furnishing the
means by which Mrs. Dalzel number one
hopes to have the divorce set aside as Illegal
because illegally obtained. It is probable
that she will succeed in this. The facts
wholly justify that course. This of course
would annul the marriage Of Mr.. Dalzell with
his American wife. As it stands Mrs Emma
Dalzell has her child by her first husband and
a daughter by marriage with Mr.. Dalzel.
When Mrs. Dalzell number two married Mr.
Dalzell he was nearly millionaire. He is
to-day poor man, but with brilliant pros
poets.
The case involves points which have
never before been brought TO the considera-
ton of an American court. There is the
stolen Judgment roll, the perjured lawyer,
false husband of Mrs. Emma Dalzell, the
absconded King, the bankruptcy of the cen
tral figure, which throws a shadow of romance
around the whole. Nothing particularly new
with the above anticipated developments can
be brought to light yet great interest will be
taken in the trial. There is abundance of
English capital backing the effort to set the
divorce aside. What the plaintiff in the case
can offer in extenuation remains to be deye-
loped.
