Fourth: II they did. was there any way of

With these great problems IN mind. the urn
was solemnly opened on July last in the
presence Of the dean Of Westminster, Sir
Edward Knapp-Fisher, chapter clerk; Law
renee Tanner, keeper Of the muniments; Prof.
william Wright, Aylmer Valance and Lord
Moynihan. the famous surgeon.
It was found that the bones filled an obl0ng
cavity within the urn. A complete skull and
. portion Of another lay On top. Many bones
Of the skeletons were missing, but this was
accounted for by the fact that. when the bones
were discovered in 1874, they were thrown
away by the workmen and then had to be
recovered from the rubbish heap. Some were
thus definitely lost.
Photographs and X-rays were taken Of the
homes and they were also examined under the
microscope. On July II they were solemnly
replaced together with . parchment relating
what had been done. The urn was then sealed
up and q burial service was held.

proved:

The burial Of the murdered ns otter the famous painting BY
No@thcoe r. H.

Horace walpo3e expressed his historic doubts.
But It remained for the present generation -
give the greatest lead to the defense.
Just Is In the new method Of historical
writing there are men who show that great
popular heroes had feet Of clay, writing THE
Real History Of Blank" so another school
undertakes to whitewash-on historical evi-
dence-men who have for generations been
held up - black villains without any redeem
ing traits.
Sir Clements Markham for instance. built
up . fine case to show that Richard was not
guilty Of the murders He fastened the crime
upon Henry VII, who conquered and succeeded
Richard Is King.
Now the queer thing was that while historians
were delving into old papers and chronicles,
nobody had taken the trouble to examine the
most potent evidence Of ALL which was an urn
in Henry Wis chapel in Westminster Abbey,
reputed to contain the bones Of the two
murdered princes. These bones were found in
the precincts Of the Tower in 1874, deemed
those Of the princes and by order of King
Charles II, inferred In the Abbey. They were
inclosed IN an urn designed by the famous
architect, Sir Christopher Wren, who drafted
the plans for st. Pauls Cathedral
Last Summer some strong representations
were made to the dean of Westminster asking
that the urn be opened for scientific investiga-
ton. He finally consented Now the problems
confronting the investigators were worthy 4
q Sherlock Holmes.
FIRST: Were the bones those Of an animal,
! a. some defenders Of King Richard main-
tanned. or were they from human skeletonsr
Second: II they were human bones could

animation, the remains were re-
placed and burial service spas

and DR.. Wright came to the sams
conclusions. The lack Of union Of
the sockets of the shoulder and hip
joints, and similar evidence from the
vertebrae showed that the bones were
not those Of adults.
The details of the dentition con-
vinced them that one Of the boya
was about IL. Study Of the jaw Of
the other boy convinced them that
his age could be placed between .
and IL.
Third: Strong presumptive evi-
dence was found that the boys wero
kin. probably brothers. They had
the same unusually large supple
mentary bones in the cranial SUI
lures, their milk teeth were con-
genitally absent and traces Of .
peridontal disease suggested . COM
mon hereditary weakness In ths
enamel Of the teeth.
Fourth: The scientists then came
to the matter Of how the boys died.
Strangulation causes intense conges-
ton of the face Now in the facial
bones Of young King Edward those
bones. following the contour of the
cheek, had q stain of fluid origin,
partly red. partly dirty brown-prob-
ably blood stains.
In other words. science. working
$50 years after the event. has estab-
nShed that the remains are those Of
the murdered boys. Furthermore.
judging by the ages established. they
were killed during the reign of King
Richard and not during that Of
Henry VII.
The poetical and dramatic indict-
ment framed by Shakespeare in 1898
today stands unchallenged. His
villain Is still . villain.

I lis version was for long time accepted

stormers as we'll. depicted in far-away America
this man delighting in foul deeds
Shakespeare probably took his data from
songs and ballads that were still sung in Lon
don streets from popular legend and tradition
and from contemporaneous historians. For
later generations one Of the main authorities
was Sir Thomas Mores History Of Kyng
Rycharde the Thirde."
Later writer's have challenged his testimony
on the ground that he was only . boy when
the crime was committed. But More was
brought up in the household of Cardinal
Morton, who evidently was acquainted with the
facts and, presumably, told them to young More.
The story was mainly based upon the con-
fessions of two of the murderers employed by
Richards agents to commit the crime. In
More's story Just as in Shakespeare's play Sir
James Tyrell was sent by Richard with .
letter to the constable Of the Tower in London.
ordering him to turn over the keys OF the
Tower to the bearer for the space Of one night.
Tyren then allowed his hired assassins to
smother the young prisoners. More continues:
About midnight (the children lying in their
beddes) they came into the chamber and
sodainly Tapped them up among the clothes.
SO bewrapped them and entangled them, keep
ing down by force the fetherbed and pillows
hard unto their mouths that within . while.
smored and stihed. theyr breath failing they
gave up to God their soules."
The murderers then called in Tyrell who
had the bodies buried in the precincts Of the
Tower
This story was seemingly corroborated by .
contemporary John Rous, who died in 1491.
In his history of the Kings Of England, speak
ing Of Richard, he says:
- lis King Edward he welcomed with
embraces and kisses and within about
three months or little more killed him, along
with his brother, and also poisoned his own
Queen Anne, daughter Of the Earl Of Warwick"
It was only in the eighteenth century that q
voice was raised for the defense. The famous

But Scotland Yard has made
no move. The police have raised
no hue and cry They have placed no guards
1T the railway stations, the steamship landings
and the airports. They have circulated no
picture and description Of the murderer. No
warrants have been issued. No trial is an
ticipated No action by crown counsel is
expected.
It is not a case Of suppression from places
on high because the guilty man was . king
The fact is, this murder, just definitely cleared
up took place 450 years ago.
The criminal was King Richard III. His
victims were the boy King Edward v. and his
brother the Duke of York. The whole story
forms one of the most fascinating chapters in
what might well be called historical criminology
The original facts were slender enough. All
that was known was the boy King and his
1883 and never seen alive again. The man
who sent them there was their uncle, the Duke
of Gloucester who proceeded to make himself
King
For generations the chief speech for the
prosecution, so to speak, was made by William
Shakespeare. He wrote his Tragedy of King
Richard III" ITO years after the murder. As
is the way with prosecutors, he painted the
accused in the blackest colors.
In fact for Shakespeare it was an unusually
dark portrait that he painted In most OF
his villains he at least allowed for some lighter
shades But he depicted Richard the crook
back as everything that was bad mafgn.
