Henry died on June 5, 1910, and even though he had been a convicted felon, his writings were so popular that there was even an award established in his name. Henry then published his books of short stories.
He wrote in jail to earn money for his daughter and his writings became very popular with magazine readers.Īfter getting released from jail, he moved his family to New York to start anew where he worked for New York World. He even told his daughter he was going someplace else to write. He was very embarrassed about being in jail, and he never saw any of the other prisoners. He then came back when he got word his wife was sick with a terminal illness. When people found out about the theft, he fled to Honduras, which is located in Central America. His last issue of the Rolling Stone was published when he got fired from the bank. People did not know where he got the money to support his magazine enterprise but think he used the money that he embezzled. He later started a magazine called the Rolling Stone.

He complained about the careless operation of the bank and how anyone could just walk in and steal the money. Henry was arrested for embezzlement when he worked at that bank. He worked as a clerk in a drug store before going to work at the First National Bank of Austin. Ironically, his life had an interesting ending itself, almost like a story he would write.
