A KING'S FORTUNE
ANCIENT TRADITION
SEARCH BY RAIDERS
LONDON, 10th November.
- Still fascinated by the tradition that Henry VIL buried a huge personal fortune in a tunnel under Bichmond Palace, raiders again attempted to discover the treasure, immediately the night watch was abandoned. They were unsuccessful.
The present leaseholder of the palace (Mr. J. L. Middletbn) believes that Henry VIII. found the treasure. Henry VII., he says, was a careful man and would have kept records of any treasure secreted anywhere, and these documents would revert to Henry VIII. More than a week ago burglars -broke into the untenanted palace and spent a busy but profitless night. Obviously they were familiar with the building because, after forcing an entiy, they wont straight to a secret door beside tho fireplace in Queen Elizabeth's room, opened a trapdoor, descended a well, and reopened the mouth of a brickedup tunnel by shifting more than a ton of earth, Then they, were disturbed.
