from London that the Liverpool Post
claimed to have discovered the head of
Oliver Cromwell in the possession of
the WiIlSeson family of Sealchart, Kent,
England Colonel Samuel H. Church,
author of The Life of CROMWELL 2 in
an interview, says the existence OF this
head has been known for a full 100
years and competent judges believe it.
to be genuine. When in London last
summer Colonel Church suggested to
the editor OF the Chronicle the appoint
ment Of a committee OF three experts
on the Cromwell epoch to examine the
head, and If they find no reasonable
doubt of its authenticity it should BE
given sepulture under the Cromwell
monument.
