Death of the Tichborne Claim ant's Solicitor

SOME FACTS OF TBE WORLD FAMOUS C&BE

Eke death of Mr John Helmet-, which occarred on Sunday last at his residence in Beckenham, may recall certain stages cf the Tiehborne case,' in which he played a proroin^ntpart. The fact that he Shrew up his retainer at a comparatively early date, and that his name never figured in the re cord either in the trial in the Oominon Pleae or at Bar, has obscured the cir camstanoa that he was the claimant's original solicitor, and that; to his exer tions the early successes of that cor pulent impostor were largely doe. Hia connection with the case waa due to the merest accident. One evening earljio January 1867 a Mr Joseph Leete, Continental agent for the firm of Alkopps, made the acquaintance in the billiard room of the International Hotel, London Bridge, of a gentleman who declared himself to bo the long-lost Sir Roger' Tiehborne, and as about to cross* to Paris to rejoin his mother, from whom he b<?d been separated for seventeen years. Mr Leete suggested the advißabili-y r<% employing a sohoi tor, and gave him a card to the one employed by the firm, Mr John Holmes, ©f the Poultry. Thus introduced, the soi disant Sir Koger called upon Mr Holmes and retained him. The latter knew nothing cf the Tiehborne family history, and had no immediate means of checking his client's story, but he decided upon accompanying him to Paris, together with their common friend Mr Leete. How Lady Tich borne was uohered into the bed room at the Hotel de Ltfle et d Albion and there recognised the. Claimant for her loo^W 018*^ ?> history. It-was* dolL"«fteriu»>»i the blinds were half <K.wjv»siiJi#>O!aim*nt lay huddled on the beil with his clothes on" and his face turn* 1d to the wall. None the lees did Lady Tiehborne bend over him and kiss him, Baying, 'He looks like his father, and his ears are like his uncle's.' Yet from that hour till her death in March 1868 Lady Tichborne was in constant commnnication with him, lived with him for weeks at a timo, and allowed him £1000 a year oat of her slender jointure. To Mr Holmes this indenttfication w*s naturally proof positive of tho OUimant's identity, and he was forti fied in his belief by the section of the Hampshire witnesses who had known Koger as a boy— Hopkins the o'dl family lawyer, Rous the innkeeper, Baigent the «ntiqa«ry, «nd Balpett the Alresford banker. The obstinate incredulity of the reßt of the Tichborne family was attributed to penrerseness and to Interested motives. An .enormous niasa of evidence was collected, and in its collection Mr Holmes' zeal largely out ran bis discretion, and exposed him subsequently to severe animadversion at the hands of Chief Justice Bovill and Sir Alexander Oochburn* *

Formally months Mr Holmes was undeterred by his client's extraordinary lapses of memory, or the still more extraordinary way in which it was refreshed by the old soldiers with whom lie was brought into contact. Whatever suspicions the first rumours of the Orton connection may have aroused were allayed by the Claimant's denials and by sffi lavita cf the Orton eisters that they knew nothing of him; The croih, however, waa not long delayed" The Okim'int had sworn to Roger Tichborne's sojourn at MeHpill% in Chili, fand it became necessary for him to go there and face the witnesses ■who were to ba examined on coramia eion. He went, muck against his will, in charge cf HolnW managing clerk, and the late Mr W E Hal', in September 18&8, and within a few wetks the astounded solicitor lrarned tfeit Charles Orfon had made affidavit that * Sir Roger * was none other than his own brother Arthur. Early in 1869 the Claimant reappeared in England, having £iven his counsel the slip, and never having been within 500 miles of Melipilla. Mr Holmes threw up the case in disgust, and convened a meet ing of the Ohimant'a Hampshire sup porters 8 before whom he placed the evidence taken in Chili in the Claim ant's absence, and come letters which the latter had written to the Orton sietere.

The Claimant's bankruptcy followed speedily, leaving his unfortunate soli citor JSSOOO out of pocket. Yet, in Bpite of this, the case eventually came to trial, and cost the Tichborne Trustees £100,000, while the criminal prosecu tion cost the nation at least as much again. Perhaps the moat shibions cotnpHnoent to Holmes' seJivity was contained in a ktter from Baigent; —

In becoming a bankrupt Holmes' bill would have to be fild, and from It the oppoaitJOß wou'd learn all thai Mr solßa.ee hag done for him eincefors arrivni in England. And woolt} not the Folicitor-Genpral cross-examine Kir Roger on it and the itemp. Ib would cost him his estates almost, if not

quite, , Prophetic words ?. Baigent, we be lievfj, ia still alive.. Mr Bulpett, so unpleasantly oonaectee! with the dark episode o£ febe " sealed packet," died a lew years ago, Mr Hopkina died Holmes wig still in charge of the ease. B"#1p, the n< gro. only survived the ClainaantV js6dnvicfcion by a few months. Of the numerous council en gaged in the two trials, the following are etill with us :■—F.ord Halsbnry, Sir Ifrancis Jenn©, ard Mr Poltard, who> appeared for tha Claimant in the eoss* mon pleas ; Lord Brampton, who »eted against him there and in the criminal proceedings ; and Mr Justice M-athew,, who was retained in the la-tter only. Mr Cooper Wyld was briefed for the Oisimant during the latter part of the criminal trial, Dr Tristram acted for him In the Pyofcete. Court, mi Lord Llandaff held a watching brief for the Trustees. To-,these names should be, added that ofe Mr Markham Spoffortb, the itifmbpr of the firm of Baxter, Itoap, & Norton, on whoro the conduct of the civil action devolved.— Globe,

DEAR Sir, — For the last twelve months I have been completely ran down, suffering from Nervous Debility, Extreme Weakness, and other ailments Incidental to my sex. My condition was each I was quite unable to gst about, or to do anything afe all. When I heard of the great benefit other sufferers had derived from the use of Plantekoa. I procured a bottle, using it as directed, and the result was as gratifying as it was astonfchihg. I became quite well again, and able to get about aa usual. I have much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make what you like of them. Yoara truly, Mrs J. Row* P.S.—I can also recommend Planibkoa as a good medicine for th.3 blood and strengthening the system Kaiwarra, February 21st 1901 Dear Sir,—Several months ago I had a very severe attack of iuflaenz*, which left me very mach run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee use my hands. My wriats and ankles were much swollen, and very painfuL Several things I tried without eflecb. A friend" advised me to givu Plantekoa a trial, which I did, and I am happy to say before I had finished the second bottle I was thoroughly cured, and I m?y say I have felt no return whatever. I should like, also, to say a word for Plantekoa Ointment, My husband for a Jons? t'ma had badly cracked handa, (owing largely, no doubt, to the nature of his work), which defied all efforts at heal* ing; bub when we once tried Plantekoa Ointment, the effect was wonderful. For chapped or cracked hands, cuts, etc., it Is the very best and safest remedy, "and is one of those thing mo home Is complete without. Yours sincerely, Mrs Wainright The Proprietor of Plantekoa Remedies receives fresh testimony every day from sufferers who have been cured fey their use.
