1t is the contention of the claimant
that the coffin contained nothing but
lead. According to his story, the man
known as Thomas Charles bruce, who
kept q bazaar and was married three
times, was the same man as the fifth
Duke Of Portland, who lived an eccen-
trio existence, often disappearing fol-
long periods at a time, and who was
supposed to be a bachelor. Tile duke
died in 1879. bruce was supposed tc
have died in 1864. 1t is claimed that in
the latter year the duke tired of living
a double life and determined to dc
away with the role he was playing I'M

of his children by his two later wives
through deciding to them large amounts
of property. The plaintiff In the suit is
a son of Druce's son by his first wife.
1t would throw light on the mystery If
the grave of bruce could be opened
and the coffin examined to determine
whether it contains a skeleton or not.
Such a move has been fought by the
defendants in the suit, a Circumstance
which gives rise to the impression
that they are afraid of what the e
animation might reveal.

upon the incident, and there was a lot

King Oscar II. Of Sweden was born
at Stockholm in 1929. His father,
King Oscar l., was a son of Joseph
Francois Bernadotte, the French peas

that Charles Kill, who occupied the
Swedish throne from 1909 to 1918, was
childless, Napoleon induced the ma

death Of Charles XIII. he ascended
