A Man Says He Buried The Real Sir Roger
There nave been many theories au-
.vanced in regard to the Tichborne case,
some plausible and some extremely
wild, and persons are discovered in ali
parts Of the world whose sIumbering
memories are suddenly awakened to the
fact that they used TO know the lost Sir
Roger, or were ON the ship that picked
hlm up; but, leaving "the claimant" out
Of the question, the fate of the young
Daronet, alter the wreck OF the Bella,
has never been discovered. The testi.
mony OF all who pretend to know any
thing about the plcAing up OF the BelIu's
boat, containing the shipwrecked men,
leaves sir Roger at sea, and The blank
that occurs between the wreck and his
supposed arrival in Australia has not
been filed up.
The search for witnesses who could
throw light upon this point has been 50

years tnat IL would seem as il the re-
CURED Ink would have been found long
ago IL there were any person living who
could say what became of Sir Roger
Ilchborhe. Ii he ever arrived in Aus
tralia somebody must have been aware
OF the TACT. In the absence OF all reli-
able testimony on this point the natural
