ALONE in a dingy bed-sitting-room, a sad-eyed woman of 70 told me a story that brought back echoes of the greatest sensation of Victorian times-the Tichborne case.

She is known as Mary Agnes Theresa Doughty Tichborne and is the daughter of Arthur Orton who was sentenced to 14 yénra penal servitude for claiming to be Siri Roger Doughty Tichborne and to have the right to the family fortune, title and catates.
