His Lunatic Brother in a Spirit of Re-
venge Issues Libelous Letters
Against Him.
| Yesterday Mr.. Frank Teich. the sculp-
tor. received from the postoillce letter
that was addressed TO mir. G. w. Town
| send, No 500 West q street, New
York" which was returned to him
through the dead letter Office, because
his name and address was imprinted on
the envelope. The writing was that OF
his brother Huldreich, and concluding
that 1t was business letter written for
him when he employed his brother as
clerk, he opened 1t. TO his astOnish-
ishment he reads as follows:
SAN ANTONIO, July, lSSG.
Mr.. c. W. Townsend, New York:
Dear Sir:-I feel II my duty in the
name Of my whole family which is re-
spected one In Germany, to inform you
OF the following:
My brother Frank Tiech here, who is
bad socialist and anarchist and lost
sheep OF our family, is preparing a
fraudulent bankrupt, and warn you to
look out. | stepped out of his business
to-day voluntarily, as ! don't want to
have anything to with his dishonest bus
mess transaction. He is now manu-
featuring dynamite and bombers in his
marble yard and ships them to Chicago
and New York.
Yours Respectfully.
HULDREICH TEICH.
He is a criminal!
In showing this letter to the LIGHT
man, Mr.. Frank Teich said: "Some
time ago my brother became afflicted in
his head, and when | came here and To-
Gated | sent for him, hoping and believ-
Ing that the change would do him good
mentally. He was employed by me but
he got worse, so confused matters and
was so unable to do anything that | had
to let him out of the business. This
seems to have annoyed him considera-
bly,, and now find that he Is writing to
my family and business connections,
making statements similar to that con-
tanned in his letter to Mr.. Townsend.
OF course there is not a particle Of truth
In what he says, but to those who do not
know me, these statements are liable to
do me the greatest injury, but what can
| do? | cannot and will not prosecute
my own brother. See here are three
postal cards that he has recently sent to
me.
Address: Frank Teich, dynamite and
bomber manufacturer, 300 and 3l3 Hous-
ton street, San Antonio, Texas.
On reverse side: "The police will
catch you sometime. Then you belong
in the penitentiary, like Most in New
York, who is your brother. You rascal
and scoundel. You want to blow up
San Antonio with dynamite and bomb
ers. You criminal.
III
Address Same as before.
Reverse side: "The citizens OF San
Antonio should take you to prison.
where you belong, you dynamlter and
bomber manufacturer. You are a nice
citizen of San Antonio. Such a anar-
chist who wants to blow up San AntO-
MO with dynamite and bombers. You
criminal"
Address, same as first card.
Reverse side: You wan. to blow up
San Antonio with bombers and dyna-
mite you rascal, and scOundrel. When
will you come to senses. The police will
catch you, then you belong in the peni-
Tertiary. Lost sheep and anarchist.
All these post cards are in the same
hand writing as the letter 10 Mr.. Town
send and are mailed in New York,
where Huldreich Teich ia now living.
They are sufficient to show that the man
10 a dangerous lunatio.
Mr.. Frank Teich came here some time
ago as a carver to work upon the Kamp-
mann building and is clever designer
and sculptor. He is we'll known to the
Kampmanns and the contractor Henry
Pauly, who give him a very high char
acter. Latterly he opened marble yard
on Houston street, is doing fair bust
ness, and has a good reputation. He
should not be injured by the ire
sponsible rawlings Of his lunatic brother.
