The explanation of the disappearance
from the streets OF London of the barrel
organ. which displayed q notice stating
that the organ-grinder was "viscount
Hinton. eldest son Of Earl Poulett," is
the fact that the organ-grinder claimant
10 the Poulett estate has been dead since
April last. Death occurred in the Hol-
born Union Infirmary, Archway road.

alleging that he was the son of the late
earl by an early marriage The COM
mittee. however. decided in favor Of his
present lordship. Since that time the
claimant continued to assert, by the dis
play OF the notice on his organ, that he
was the heir to the estates.
When admitted to the Holborn Infirm-
airy, he gave the name Of William Turn

was suffering from cardiac symptoms
and was in a serious condition. He died

showed that death was due to an enlarg-
ed and fatty heart. He was buried at
Finchley by friends. 1t was the present
and recognized young Earl Poulett. whom
"Vlscount Hinton" claimed as his STEP
brother. who last September married Miss
Sylvia Storey. the Gaiety actress.
The sixth Earl Poulett, whom the or
gan-grinder asserted to be his father
died ten years ago. after having married
three times. ''viscount Hinton" was born
to the earrs first wife. the daughter of a
Landport pilot named Newman, after
their marriage. The earl accounted the
marriage a mesalliance. A story which
he never cOntradicted was current to the
effect that when he was a subaltern in
an infantry regiment in 1919, with no
prospect of succeeding to the title because
five lives lay between, he made foolish
bet after gay dinner that he would
walk out into the street and marry the
first woman he met, this young woman
CHANGING to be Miss Newman
But another version of the marriage
was given to the house Of lords f1fty-four
years later. when the earl died and Wis
count Hinton" came to the front and laid
formal claim to his title and estates over
the head Of the younger son. 1t was
then asserted before the committee of
privileges that Earl Poulett met Miss
Newman In Dublin. and renewed her ac-
quaintance Aafterward on meeting her in
Portsmouth, when he married her after
fortnight's courtship. But he left her
after two months. refusing to accept as
Ms own her then unborn child.
This unacknowledged child became the
claimant. His education was provided
for by means not mentioned. and after
attaining manhood he embarked on a
stage career. becoming an actor in small
parts, and afterward clown.
