SAN Francisco. June 2lst.-In connection
with the case of the Tichborne claimant, now
attracting attention here. a point has to-day
arisen which would seem to 90 far in support
of the claimants pretensions. Tichborns
states that he came to the United States after
his visit to South America, following his de-
parture from England, and married in Brook
lyn, N Y. This is altogether at variance with
any of the disclosures made during the trial
of the case in England, and in fact an entire
ly new presentation of the matter. Now
| comes q respectable gentleman, = mining en-
gineer weilknown in this city. who also says
that he was well acquainted with Tichborue
in his youthful days in England, and that
| subsequently he met him in New York about
the time of his marriage. This. it will be
remembered, was many years before the affair
came into prominence by virtue of the claim
raised by Arthur Orton. The gentleman says
il this is the real Tichborne he will certainly
be able to recognize him. lie will uudoubt-
edly be given an opportunity to do so on tho
return of Iichborne TO the city.
