definitely answered.
The quest for Robert c. Caldwell
by the authorities continues. Cald-
Well Is charged with perjury.
Caldwell's disappearance revived
interest in the case, and when the
hearing was resumed today the
court room was crowded.
Replying to Magistrate Plowden,
Mr.. Atherley-J said he regarded
Caldwell's testimony as discredited
on certain points and therefore all
his evidence should be obliterated.
Without admitting that the whole
story OF the mock funeral was false
Mr.. Atherley-Jones said CaldwelPs
account of this occurrence could not
be accepted. He alsv Intimated that
Horace Avory, counsel for the de-
fendant, has established his conten-
tion that Caldwell and his alleged
brother are one and the same per-
son.
In opening for the defendant Mr..
Avory denounced Caldwell as the
most noxious perjurer who ever
has polluted he fountain of justice"
He secuted the idea that Charles
Dickens would have lent himself to
the intrigue OF keeping up the de-
lusion of the dual personality of the
Duke OF Portland, and he declared
that Miss Mary Robinson, who tes-
titled that she knew T. G. Druce as
the Duke OF Portland, Is a SUSPECT

part of her testimony Is false.
Mr.. Avory announced that II neces-
sary in the interest Of justice Her
bert Druce will consent to the re-
opening Of the grave Of his father
T. c. Druce,
The only witness for the defend
ant called today was a nurse named
Bailey. who testified that she held T.
c. DTuce's hand when he died Dec.
2s 1854, that she saw the body put
in its coffin and attended the funer-
al.
evidence given at previous trials
by two doctors, since dead, was
read. Both had sworn that they at
tended T. G. Druce In his last III
ness.
