In the same year (1835), Herr Welcker, member of Parliament 
in Baden (the same who had insisted upon the necessity of either 
setting Garnier free, or giving him a fair trial, when he was im- 
prisoned for having published the pamphlet), went to England 
and accidentally fell in with Garnier, who showed him a letter 
just received from Hennenhofer. Welcker knew Hennenhofer’s 
handwriting, and was sure that the letter was genuine. Hennen- 
hofer advised Garnier to put his talents to a better use than he 
had yet done, and promised that, in case of his following this 
advice, he should be well rewarded. For present use he sent him 
a certain sum—Welcker thought it was twenty pounds sterling. 
The money was not enclosed, however, nor a draft for the amount ; 
but Garnier was to receive it from a third person. It was plain 
that the third person, as Hennenhofer’s agent, was not to furnish 
money unless Garnier consented to certain conditions not men- 
tioned in the letter. Lord Stanhope was the agent. Welcker 
axclaimed: “Here you have strong proof against Hennenhofer ! 
Let this letter be published without delay.” 
But Garnier acknowledged with embarrassment that he had 
already accepted the money, and it was evident that he had also 
accep'ed the terms. It is a fact that from that time Garnier’s 
publications respecting Kaspar Hauser, which he had begun to 
issue in a periodical of his own in London, ceased entirely. 
In 1851 Garnier confessed the whole story of the pamphlet to 
General Bum of Baden, and wrote a document of ninety-two folio 
sheets, taking back his former accusations, and declaring himself 
convinced that the two deceased Princes of Baden could not be 
connected in any way with Kaspar Hauser, and that it would have 
been impossible under the circumstances to exchange a dying 
child for the Prince. 
All this only confirms Welcker’s statement that Garnier was 
bribed to silence by Hennenhofer. 
Garnier died a short time after the date of his recantation. 
Among the sensational episodes connected with the death of 
Kaspar Hauser was the account of a police officer named Frans
