Where He Was Employed.
News was received here yesterday Of
the sudden death from heart disease. in
New York, of Herman Oscar Heinrich.
formerly of Richmond but for several
years jewelry salesman in New York.
The body is to be brought here for
burial. though the arrangements to this
end have not been completed. The news
was broken to the relatives yesterday
evening in 2 brief telegram from friends
of the family in New York, and at first
1t was feared that the young man had
committed suicide These fears were set
at rest later by q telephone CONVERSE
ton with DR.. Herman Kudeich, an emf
nent physician, VINO was well acquainted
. with Mr.. Heinrich, and who declared the
death due to heart disease, from which
dthe young man has been suffering for
many years.
Tho New York correspondent Of the
Dispatch traces a relation between Mr..
Heinrich's untimely death and the dis
appointment he is. alleged to have felt
over the failure of a young woman, to
whom he was devotedly attached, to re-
turn his love. and in part, also, to tinan-
c1al embarrassment. His relations here
declare that he was not engaged to re
married to any girl resident in this city
at any time, and an attachment for
very prominent girl in New York is be-
lieved by his brother-in-law, Mr.. Carl
n
summer because Mr.. Heinrich was not
in a position to marry any one of the
prominence OF the lady who held his af-
fections. AS to his financial emharrass-
ments. nothing is known here He APP
pears to have enjoyed, to a very large de-
gree, the. confidence of Messrs. Gatti and
Stems who employed him for some years
in their store at Thirty-eighth street and
FIFTH avenue, for last summer he was
placed in charge of the firms business
at Saratoga.
LEARNED TRADE HERE.
Mr.. Heinrich was the son Of Mr.. Benno
Heinrich, who died in this city rather less
than eight years ago. He learnt the jew
elry trade in his father store, on Main
street. Mr.. Benno Heinrich came to Vir-
ginia forty years ago, and his son, Helm
rich, was born here thirty-fve years ago.

very cordially entertained when he WIS.,
tied his mother and his relations. He
has not been here since the Christmas holi
ldays Of 1901, his summer vacation being
taken up with his duties in Saratoga.
The shock of the announcement Of his,
death to members of his family was in
tense, because his mother and sister re-
ceived letters only q day or so ago, couch

that carried conviction Of his good health
and spirits. His mother Mrs. Elise Helm
rich, who lives on Mosby street. Church
Hill, is heart broken at the news of her
sons death. She is Il years old, and her
boy was the idol Of her old age.
WANTS TO SEE SONS FACE.
If her wishes are carried out the body
will be brought home at once, so that she
may look upon his face again, as a
journey to New York is out of the ques-
ton, as far as she is concerned. Mr.. Carl
Wipperman, who is Mrs, Heinrich's som
in-law, is making arrangements to this
end, and the body is to be laid in the
family let in Hollywood
Absolutely no caus can be assigneu
by the family for the mental depression
which the New York dispatches declare
any troubles they are not known to his
friends here, and the idea Of an affair
of the heart with a Richmond girl is
secuted by those who were his closest
friends as it is believed he had not re-.
covered from his love affair with the
New York girl. There had been no for.
NAL engagement, it is asserted, and this
| is probably true, as the Germans look
upon betrothal as almost as sacred as
the marriage vow, and engagements OF
this sort are never broken.
