William C. Henry, a young man who has enjoyed the confidence and esteem of a large circle of Washingtonians in busi- ness, social, fraternal and religious circles, has departed from Washington, leaving be- hind a varied list of deeds, including th alleged wholesale robbery of his employers and the desertion of his wife and an eigh- teen months’ old baby. The present whereabouts of the fugitive | are unknown, and, so far, no steps have been taken to discover them, but, owing to the number of inis victims, it is probable that Henry will not be able to enjoy liberty for any lengtk of ,time. Henry, who is a man about thirty-two years of age, of attractive appearance, with rosy cheeks and a black mustache, of medium height a1.d always well dressed, came to Washington about ten years ago from the west, where he had served an enlistment, so he said, in the army. Held in High Esteem. Hight years ago he entered the employ- ment of the firm of McGill & Wallace, printers, of No. 1107 E street, and until his disappearance, March 26, and the develop- ments following, he was an esteemed and trusted employe, being engaged as book- keeper and collector. He was, as stated before, popular socially, and in the West- minster Presbyterian Church was consid- ered an exemplary light, being superin- tendent of the Sunday school and a leader in Christian Endeavor circles. In Masonic circles he was also prominent and popular, being a member of several lodges. Handled the Funds. He was s2cretary of one of them, and as such hardied the funds of the order, the treasurer, being unablg, on account of his health, to attend to the duties of the office. It was the secretary’s duty to receive money from dues and other sources and turn it at once over to the treasurer. Henry received the cash and paid the bills of the organization as they were presented, but did not hand the bal- ance to the treasurer. Previous to the election in the order, held last week, a committee was appointed, in accordance with the custom, to examine the accounts of retiring officers, and upon examining the secretary's, found Henry to be short about 3200, ‘This discovery, and his knowledge of it, probably determined Henry to leave the city, fearing the public- ity that might be made of his peculations would lead to the discovery of his other shortcomings in the same direction, where his employers and friends were the victims. When he made up his mind to leave town he set about supplying himself with means to do so. He followed the same system he had pursued in the past, as developments since have shown. From a well-known clothing and men’s supply house he secured wearing apparel of all descriptions, even including patent gar- ters, to the amount of $86.38, and had the same charged to McGill & Wallace, who kept a running account at the establish- ment. These goods were gotten Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 28. The date last named he was paid his salary by his em- ployers and left town that evening. Victims Make Inquiry. The following Tuesday inquiries for Henry began to be made at McGill “& Wallace's by persons who had cashed personal checks for him the latter part of the week before, which had been returned from the banks upon which they were drawn with the terse indorsement “no funds.” He had taken advantage of the implicit confidence imposed in him by his business friends, and nad drawn numerous checks and had gotten them cashed on the Satur- day of his departure, knowing that they would not be presented for collection until the following Monday. The victims of Henry’s dishonesty in this way are chary of talking about their experience, but it is believed he secured $500 or $600 on the worthless checks. Extent of Loss Not Known. McGill & Wallace were also victimized by their trusted employe, but just to what extent cannot be learned until it is ascer- tained how many bills for March work had been collected by Henry, and the money kept by him. An examination of the books kept by him is in progress, and shows fre- quent false entries, it {s said, the transfers from the cash book to the ledger covering small amounts that Henry took for his own purposes. Henry was married a few years ago to Miss Riley, the davghter of a prominent Mason, and he left ber and ‘their baby as unceremoniously a3 he did ihe victims of his acquaintunce He resided with his tle family at No. 1339 Emerson st northeast, which extends from 13th street between io and F streets. Mrs. Henry will not listen to the suggestion of her husband having made a misstep, and is sure he will return and clear away ail the suspicion now resting upon him. gs EIGHTH BATTALION VETERANS. Services Tendered the President in Anticipation of War. At the regular monthly meeting of the veterans who served in the 8th Battalion, District of Columbia Volunteers, held last night, a resolution tendering the services of the veterans in the event of war was passed. The resolution reads: “That we Still have the welfare of our adopted coun- try at heart, and, whereas the country is threatened with war, we are ready, as we were in 1861, to stand by the stars and stripes at the risk of our lives, and’al- though advanced in years, will be subject to your excellency for any duty you may consider us able to perform.” Former Justice of the Peace A. B. L. Keese was appointed a committee to pre- sent a copy of the resolution to President McKinley. This organization is com entirely of Germans who proved their loy- alty to the United States during the late war, —_>—_—_. JACOB KING AND HIS COOK. Both in Police Court for Disorderly Conduct. “Captain” Jacob King, an elderly colored man, who works on a sand scow, and Louisa Holmes, his cook, were in Judge Scott's court yesterday. There was a tow in the “captain's” house on Canal street last night about supper time, and when Policeman Andcrson went there he arrested both the “captain” and the cook. “Did you strike Louisa?” the old man was asked. “No, sir,’7 he answered, “but I struck at her. “Sorry you didn’t hit her?” ‘When I got home last night Louisa was out, and my supper Wasn't ready.

In the early part of 1896 Thomas made an unsuccessful aitempt to murder his wife. After knocking her in the head with an ax and firing several Pistol shots at her, most of which took effect, he attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat. He was found by the Pelice near Hunting creek. He was brought to this ciiy, znd after he recoy- ered fiom his self-inflicted injuries, was put on trial in the corporation court on the charge of attempting to commit mur- der, was found guilty, and is now serving a five years’ term in the Virginia peniten- tary.
