The idea then entered his head to represent Ferris
which he did, until the prospect of seeing Ferris
mother interfered. and he 'lit out He made two
or three voyages at sea, and when the war broke
out enlisted
ONE OF GRANTS ARMY.
He served al through the war, was wounded sew
erai times, and was discharged for his wounds, but
re-enlisted. He has medal won before Richmond.
He says that one day during the war, somewhere in
the West, on a military parade, ne Jules Per-
raul his former 7alet. He could not get out of the
ranks then, but afterward hunted for him every
where without success. 1t was case OF FL see
you again, and Not if know it. He had0 two
middle fingers of lis right hand shot away while in
the army and writes with his thumb, fore and little
finger"
How does his writing compare with that of the
genuine Tichborne as copied in the illustrated
papersT'
"There is a marked resemblance, though his
writing is cramped as one would expect under the
circumstances. In 1865 or 1867 he married a Miss
Williams of Brooklyn, New York. and now has four
children, all baptized and christened with Tchborne
family names In Vallejo he was Captain of the
Frisbie Guard. at present he is in San Diego
Speaking of the hands, he has the large bony ones
described possessed by the real Roger. Now
they are large and coarse, they would naturally
be after thirty years manual labor. But in language
and actions he is a gentleman, quiet, dguified cool
an iceberg under the most searching questioning
He has all the physical characteristics OF Roger
T,chborne, changed, of course, by age. The de-
scription of the real Tchboine as given by Justice
Cockburn to the jury, fits him as though it vas his
passport except as altered by age, But what was
of most interest to me was his criticism OF the
testimony. Strange to say, he Had never read it
until che time of his oath had expired. We went
over it together and he says that perjury was COM
mtted on both sides, as bad on one as the other
oRroN's BASE LIES.
''I asked him about the sealed package which he
left with his lawyer, and which was lost and when
told him that orion said it was statement of his
seduction of his cousin, Kate Dougberty, you ought
to have seen him boil over The thing is so simple
he said, that am ashamed to confess what was in
there. 1t was written to the Virgin that if
she would bring about my marriage with my cousin
Kate would build chapel to her at Tichborne to
cost not less than 100000 francs In reading Or
toms testimony, he said that Orion testified to
many things which he could only have learned
from his letters to his tmother Lady Tichborne
(since dead. IL will be remembered that she &C.
eepted orion as her sony You will remember also
that Orion had not only forgotten his French, but
did not remember after years of careful schooling
whether the Eneid was written IN Latin or Greek
1t is entirely different with this He said that
when he was II years old he could hardly speak
English having been almost raised IN France and
that when Orons witnesses testified about his good
English they lied. His aunts spoke Of him as

Able Lefevre, writes him, Come, and will know
! if you are he in five minutes He remembers the
names of many of his fellow-pupils at Paris, and
particularly the nicknsmes of two. The funny
thing is. he don't seem to care for the money He
says he is thoroughly American, and il it were not
for his children he never would have moved in the

1.-The amount of his story is this His exile is due
TO disappointed love. That is the beginning and
the end Of It. He to stick by his oath until
1881, and has done it. When the Duke of Suther-

much interested in the case. He was given a ic-
