James Fitxroy. the wild first born OF
Augustus Charles Lennox, seventh Duke
of Grafton.
They argue that Old Man Eustcn
might have been a son OF Henry James
Fitzroy. Is II not possible that Kate
Walsh was his mother despite the books
on peerage that have it that Kate
bore the proud house no children and
that Henry James Fitzroy died without
issue. And then. too. 1t is quite as pos
sible that Old Man Euston was moth
Ing but former retainer or the son
of retainer. AS matter of fact 1t
Is all on account of that photograph,
those clippings and that Masonic apron.
There was something imposing about
the old boys manner. too. Ask any OF
the neghbors or the fellows down on
the Atlantic and Pacific docks.
You may dig into the official and un-
official records of the house of Grafton
and learn no more about the death OF
Henry James Fitzroy than that he died
May 10. 1919. Kate Walsh died No

he had come to America on similar
mission, and on one occasion he came
as the personal representative of King
Edward VII who until he died was
Grand Master OF the Free Masons OF
the United Kingdom.
Henry James Lennox was 62 years
old when he arrived in New York In
1910. Forty years before that he mar
ried Kate Walsh, who was tfn years
his senior and who was set down by the
sedate British newspapers as 'one of
the most notorious women in London.
There was a fearful row about it, OF
course. and Henry James Lennox fled
to Austalia. leaving all he owned
about flo, ,000 in Kate's hands.
Presently Henry James Lennox's ia
ther, the Duke of Grafton. called him
back to England. saying that they had
discovered that Kate had another hus-
band living-George Manley Smith
and that she had not taken the pre-
caution to divorce George before marry
ing Henry James Lennox. That, OF
course, invalidated her marriage to the
heir of Grafton.
But no sooner did Henry James Len

Kate's lawyers presented him with evil

credited with getting within 150

Buyers from Texas cotton hous-

around 26 IL cents q pound, is off

Six hundred seventy-three bales
Of cotton have been ginned at
