Was she buried before or after
Shakespeare" I asked.
After the poet" he answered; since
the grown-over inscription says sister
of the Immortal Shakespeare This
grave would be Of particular interest to
the tourists here" continued Mr.. Rich
ardson, but everything around 1t would

"Of course. you mean the American
tourists" ! suggested. since the majority
OF visitors TO Stratford are from the
States.
Yes. and they are a knowing lot" no
answered. humorously They want to
know-too much.
But don't you think. Mr.. Richard
son. in your zeal to cover up this grave
you are keeping many Shakespeare stu
dents In the dark? II she died after the

BELIEVES THERE ARE NO MAN

I then talked to the younger sexton
the assistant. Alexander Tomkins. ana
II seems that he had been digging up
come things on his own accord In the
last few days. He has been going over
the old register containing the entries
of baptism and burial of Shakespeare.
I asked him what he found.
II found. at least seemingly" he an
swered. another direct proof that
Shakespeare as Il writer was not widely
known at the time OF his demise and
that therefore IL they did dig up the
grave no manuscripts would 30 found.
and personally | think It would hurt
the cause of our city II such a thing
were done"
"In going over the register found
that tho parish clerk, Thomas Bick-
more In ls12, a. few years after the
burial of the bard, had noted that
there were many visitors to the grave
OF the poet ana interest manifested
itself IN the family a. we'll. Thsre-
fore he proceeded to mark q cross
sitter tho names OF all the connections
of Shakespeare IN the register to facii-
itate matters for the curious and that
he might not be bothered with quss-
tions."
looked over the register, found the
crosses and everything as the sexton
had said. The entry OF Shakespeare
10 made a. follows:
april &C. Gulielmus. hlius Johannes
Shaksperc."
Since Shakespeare was born April q
they explained to me that this date April
&c was the date of baptism. so you see"
observed the young sexton. there Is
no question In the minds of the STRAIT
ford people that the bones OF Shakes
peare are right IN this church."
The vicar. Rev. George Arbuthnot. NJ.
A.. Is loud In his protest. lie says:
THE most interesting grave Is that Of
Susanna. the poets elder daughter and
the wife OF Or. John Hail. because the
lines on II distinctly assert the genius
or wit OF the poet and so provide a
little additional argument against the
theory Of the Baconians. They run
thus:
