 Actress Sure 1t is Lord Douglas.
 The announcement that the body had been identified as that of Lord Doug las came tonight from Coroner Fein- berg. The coroner, as a physician some years ago, had known Lord Douglas as a patient, and it was the coroner him self who first suspected that he might be Douglas He was not sure enough of it to express more than the opinion that there was a striking resemblance. but this comment when circulated came to the ears of Mary Noble an actress who had known Lord Douglas in the west, and tonight when she viewed the body she was sure that it was that of Lord Douglas.

 Miss Noble said she knew Ford Douglas when he was appearing on the stage out west with his wife, who was an actress. in 1896.

 Wife Billed as Lady Douglas.
 "It was in 1896 that I met Lord Sholto Douglas. I was playing with my husband, Leonard J. Grover in at the Alcazar theater. San Francisco. Lord Douglas had married an actress whose maiden name 1 don't recall and the two were appearing at the Alcazar theater. He met her somewhere in Oklahoma and she was billed in vaudeville as Lady Sholto Douglas. Then a manager made an offer to Lord Douglas to appear on the stage with his wife. and they did so. He did not do much; his wife did most all the work of their act, but his name was the attraction.
