Fifty.First Day ofthe Cnse-Revulston
OF Opinion In tho Claimants Favor
Exceedingly Strong Testimony.
a. ID LONDON, November rs.
Yesterday was the flty-frsL day OF the trial,
and 1t was almost wholly taken up by the ex-
animation Of a witness whose character
places him above all suspicion, and whose
testimony of itself is almost enough to make
certein the success of the plaintiff. His eoun.
eels GEMS TO have adopted the plan OF bring.
Ing forward their weakest witnesses nret, and
of holding back their strongest ones until the
Last A perfect revulsion OF opinion has oc.
CURED since the case was feopened, and every
one now declares that the verdict must
be for the plaintiff. But still the de-
fence must have q case, o. hey would not
fight as they do. The witness OF whom i
have spoken above is Mr.: Frsncis Joseph Bal
ogist, who had long been we'll acquainted with
the family of Roger Tichb0rne, with his
mother very intimately. He perfectly well re-
membered that youcg man before ne went
abroad, from the age of seventeen, In 1916;
Remembered his appearance distinctly; ne was
thin, broad-shoulde awkward, very plain
looking, and altogether remarkable looking.
His principal pursuit was smoking. He was
not fond Of society at all, owing to his dlm-
Guilty In speaking English, and associated
with his interiors, was much about the stables, !;
was or few worde,I shy, and fond Of being by
himself. Witness spoke of the time claimant
was at St0nyhursts Of his fondness for drawing
katnc jfo knnwfnD
him when he was In the Carblneers; OF
recolecting when he was going away and
telling him 1t was foolish 10 doeO. That was
the last time witness saw bim previous to his
departure for Australia. Witness continued
an intimacy with the Tichborne family, and
with Sir Alfred In particular to the time OF bis
DEATH Since the return Of the claimant to
this country witness had been In intimate as
ISOLATION with him and assisted him In every
way possible, for the, sake Of justice and no
other reason, certainly not for payment. Wit
ness communicated with Lady Doughty De-
fore he saw claimant. He Old not believe
claimant to be the man until after ne saw
IAlresford, and first saw the claimant st the
Swan. The circumstances Of the day, which
did not lead to recognition then, were
infinitely detailed. Having in The mean
time seen Boyle, witness again saw
claimant at Alresford. the witness spoke
|. of preliminary precautions taken 10
have from. the claimant some inkiing
Of identity before he and Mr.. Hopkins (who
was at Alresford then) would meet him. THIS
was effected by q letter written by the claim,
ant to witness. contsining alluslopa 70 certain
matters. Having heen shown aphetograpn
of the claimant (much as he is) witness then
said, @Tnat Is Roger Tlchborne-there is no
mistake about it," and this notwithstanding
minor differences of appearance. In the
event witness saw the claimant in persons at
Alresford, and he went on to tell what oc-
Cured on that occasion, dwelling particularly
on "a smile remembered of old" and other
minuti@ with singular intonation, and show
Ing much command Of. memory relating to
the tanning of horse and other adven-
lures OF the claimant at Melbourne. Moth
Ing more passed then, and nothing was
said about the Tichborne family. Witness
formed an opinion then as to his identity BY
his features and his voice, which had an cleo
trical effect on witness; but he still wished to
test him: The process OF testing was minute
the IichbOrne family growing upon him; the
popularity Of his knTckles and hands; hls
questioning tile claimant on occurrences Of
former days, most circumstantially narIated,
comprising reference to persons, Mr.. Henry
Seymour, and, SOME of the Tichborne family;
places. Stonyhnrs5. for instance; special mat
tere, such as the settling OF the Doughty pro-
party when he came Of age, Mr. Hopkins
going to see him at Cahir with deeds to sign,
The date of his going INTO the army; Ills saying
that he liked Kate Doughty, because she
wsshis only relative who did not try to set
him against his mamma, and bis knowing
some handwriting shown 10 him him as that ot
his mamma. The witness strongly repudi-
ated the notion of his having prepared the
claimant for this Interview, for he was much
prejudlced against him, and did not believe
MIN, originally, to be the man; on that occa-
Sion, witness came to the conclusion that he
was the man; on the Sunday following, the
claimant was TO 60 to the chapel at Tchoorne
to see Mrs. Greenwood, but he was prevented,
and witness went alone; witness saw claimant
at Mr. Hopkins,s houseo on the following Thurs
day, but he took no further trouble TO assure
himself OF his identity, there being no occa.
sion; since then witness had been constantly
In the claimants company, and he repeated
there was no possibility of doubt that he was
Roger Tichborne.
