appears that it was arranged to meet others who know
Sir James, tioger's father, Sir Edward Doughty,

bear good characters in their localities. "The first
of these, Ciiarle. Burton, of Sonora, California, wail

all !evil was not made in view of having any weight
In theEoglish Courts, but simply to *Mist y Ferris' stmt..

of statements made. Barton haa held office several

California, a few miles across the bay from San

Doughty when but twelve years of age. While in Sir
Edward's employ she formed an attachment to her

by Sir Edward. Alter questioning
_Ferris closely

the true Sir Roger Charles Tichborne. In re.
sponse to an inquiry all three stated that they had

easy foe him to establish hie Identity, by bringing for-

Alexis Le Felivre, now an eminent Catholic

passed between this person and parties in San Francisco

it is said, writes that he should be sled to see him and
assist him in identifying himself." Ferris' attorney
and friends desire in the first instance simply to prove
