London, Dec. 30-Ihe body of Thorn
as Charles bruce. in High Gate ceme-
terry. was exhumed this morning, just
burial. The coffin was found to con-
tain the remains of a human body. thus
exploding the romantic tale told by
Robert c. Caldwell and others, who
swore during the recent hearing of the
bruce perjury case, that it contained
a roll of lead.
The official statement given out by
representative of the home office and
others who were officially present at
the exhumatiou, not only definitely
disposes of the lead myth. but seems
effectively to prove that the body bur-
led i'm 1864 was actually that of T. c..
bruce. The authorized statement fol-
lows:

Silver has drifted down not far above

has ceased to be the standard of value
during the last few years in Mexico

countries, the demand from CONNER
cial countries for subsidiary coins has
been increased by the expansion Of re-
tail trade. The maximum price of sill

day is now at the home of his daUgh-

He is under $1,000 bonds to answer TO

the story he told in the London court.
Caldwell was arrested when he arrived
here from England. Dec. q. 1t X said
that his health has improved since his
arrival.
Caldwell's story of the alleged dual
personality of the Duke of Portland
was the real sensation of one Of the
most remarka bic cases which ever en-
gagged the attention of ;he British
courts. The reOpening of the Druce
grave today was the final effort Of the
government to prove their charge that
