Henry c. DIETRICH once lived in Fort
Worth, but he does not now. He also
lived In Mobile, Ala, but the bay at
mosphere seemed not to agree with his
delicate constitution. The story of his
life there Is best told in the following
dispatch from that city:
Mobile police are searching for Henry
c. DIETRICH, n former Mobllan who IL
wanted for embezZlement and bigamy
DIETRICH came here two years ago from
brooklyn, N. Y, where he was en-
ployed by "A. Smith Il Co. He met
Mobile girl, a school teacher, Miss EN-
ma GretZner, who had some money.
Dietrich had an oily tongue and soon
led the girl to the altar and induced
her to turn over her money to him.
The amount was $1,000. To this the
girls father contributed $1,000 more and
the son-in-law started in business. He
held out week and then skipped to
parts unknown, deserving his bride of n
few days and leaving herself and father
penniless. To-day Chief OF Police Burke
received dispatch from Fort Worth
asking HIM to arrest Dietrich, who
mad embezzled 5000 from parties In that
city. DIETRICH did not come this way,
however, and IL still at large. The
fugitive is said to have i've wives. The
last one he married In Fort Worth i'm
mediately after deserving his Mobile
bride.
oAE ltAlA VI AHt HlbIS lulu unGkt Is
untrue. He did not marry in Fort
Worth At least Detective Talbot thinks
he did not. As told by that officer the
story OF Deitrich's career here is about
this. More than two weeks ago he
made his appearance here, seeming to
be dead broke though that does not
comport with his getting away with
the pretty German school teachers
dot" Soon afterwards he met an old
acquaintance In the person OF Mr.. H.
Pfuhel, agent of the California Wine
company. At Deitrich's solicitation
Mr.. Pfuhel purchased the Hub" sa-
loon corner of Fourteenth and Main
streets, proposing to reopen that resort
with Dietrich us manager. All was
complete for the opening OF the place
except the purchase OF the license, and
Tor this purpose the agent OF the
wine company turned over to the pros
pectlNe manager check for 5000 the
amount required for the purchase of
the necessary legal documents. That
was last Tuesday morning, August @
ana that same morning Mr.. Pfuhel had
70 leave town for u short trip to Thur
per on the Texas and Pacific, He re,
turned Wednesday evening, expecting
to IND the Hub" open and doing we'll
Win Manager DIETRICH smiling behind
the bar. But he was destined To dis
appointment, The house was dark and
nobody had seen the manager. The
huN' uay re appeared at the city hall
ana told his troubles to policeman
aud the case was put into the hands OF
detective Talbot The first thing he
discovered was that Dietrich had shin
ped a case OF Pfuhers wine by freight
TO Mobile, Ala. That started the cor
lespondence between the police OF the
two cities. The Mobile authorities are
confident that he win fight shy OF that
town. IL has also been discovered that
on the 9th Inst. Dietrich purchased n
ticket NJ Dallas for Denver. The Dem
Yer authorities have no trace OF him.
Detective Talbot thinks that he has
gone 10 Mexico.
