Duke of Portland
Was T. c. Druce

NEW YORK, Nov 2-International
interest has been aroused by the aniaz-
ing testimony Of Robert Caldwell OF
Richmond, Staten Island, In the Druce
perjury trial IN the Marylebone police
court, London, involving the alleged
dual personality Of the fifth Duke OF
Portland and his S5O0.0O0. 900 estate.
Mr.. Caldwell has been termed the
great American affidavit-maker' and
several months ago his alleged acquaint-
anee with the Duke of Portland was
exploited in American newspapers
Despite the sobTiquet he testified that
he had never made but two affidavits
in his Efs. che in sthe Druce case and
the other in connection with the Stewart
estate and the theft of Stewards body.
Rober Caldwell is seventy-one years
old Several years ago ne was a famil-
lar figure on Staten Island and for two
or three years lived with his daughter.
Miss Georg1ana Caldwell, at Clifton.
No one knew what the old man did
for living and no one could ind out,
despite persistent hints and questions.
Eight years ago they stored their fur
niture and disappeared.
Last summer they reappeared and
rented rooms over the Woman's Ex-
change at st. Georges. Miss Caldwell
had been appointed Librarian Of the
Carnegie library of St Georges and
began her duties a week after her faith
er, IN July, had made public his af1-
davIt regarding the identity OF the Duke
Of Portland and I. c Druce.
He told IN the affidavit Of having been
afflicted with bullbous nose, touring
the world for cure and finally dis
covering 1t and making a friend of the
Duke Of Portland by imparting it to
him.
If Mr. Caldwell was cured, however.
residents Of Staten Island think ne
must have had an enormous had case
or a relapse, as his nose, the last time
tHGY-saW nim, was still the most con-
sDlcuOus tEing about him. He has white
hair and mustssche, 4 grim, determined
face, and is still vigorous
one o. the startling features Of tho
trial is the alleged connection of Charles
Dickens with the Druce case, and the
question, did the Druce case suggest
% the great novelist the unfinished
novel, THE Mystery Of Edwin brood -
which deals with the dual existence of
a man.
The Dickens family has issued 2 dis
claimer CT any knowledge that Dickens
knew the Duke of Portland, but the
diary which has been stolen from Miss
AAtIALAoNtAs a n Eliitd WDtldU. VINO was
the secretary OF Thomas Charles Druce
for many years, contains numerous ref
erences to Dickens. II was Dickens
who introduced her to Druce.
long passage in the diary is de-
voted 10 tae story he is alleged to have
told Of the dukes identity with Druce.
Dickens lad the same partialitv for
constructing tunnels which amounted to
a mania with Druce and the Duke Of
Portland. An underground passage be-
tween Dickens house at Gads Hill and
his summer house, some distance away,
is still in existence
