Why were Edward V OF England
and his brother Dul;e of York the
sOns of Edward Nv called Princes or
the Tower?"
In May 1888, Edward was seized
by his uncle. Richard, Duke OF
Gloucester, and imprisoned in the
Tower of London; in June his
brother was sent to join him, and
Gloucester was recognized by the
royal council as protector. At first
it was rumored that the princes had
been murdered, and later they We're
popularity supposed TO have been
exiled. After twenty years Sir James
Tyrrell alleged that, on the refusal
of Blackenbury, constable of the
Tower, to murder the princes at
Richards instigation, he himself
with two servants had smothered
them in their sleep. The testimonx.
of Tyrrell. a notorious blackguard
in sthe reign of Henry VII and the
enemy and successor Of Richard, is
by no means above suspicion. IN
the reign Of Charles ITS two skeletons
were found at the foot of staircase
of the White Tower and were buried
in Westminster Abbey as the re-
mains of the two princes.

The Circle this week is using
James A. Fitz Patrick melody over
ture. This time the music and the
movie deals with "Songs Of Central
Europe" AS the melody is nearly
folk songs. the entire idea takes on
the spirit of a revival of well known
tunes. StoIarevsky and the Circle

these melodies.
Dessa Byrd this week is playing
a new melody, when Twilight

duction to the new theme as she
asks the question: when is the

answers it by playing romantic song
hits that have titles which indicates
day or night. Splendidly done.

State get busy and send their pro-
