THE DRUCE CASE.

Uy Ucctric U'tegiajiu.-Coiiyriglit. Pec Press Association. Received Dec, 25, at 10.30 a.m. London, Dec. 24. A shed is being erected nt tho front of Thomas Charles Drucc's grave, which is lighted by electricity ns a precaution against tampering with it. Received Dec. 25, at 10.16 a.m. Melbourne, Dec. 25. Mr Dnncy, a Melbourne artist, has made-an interesting discovery in connection with tho Dru.'o case. Portraits recently published in Melbourne of the fifth Duke of Portlaod, end T. C. Druco show many points of similarity. Dancy observed the important feature that the forefinger of the right; hand in each picture has j. tho appearance of ■ being deformed. There is no bend in the middle joint, consequently the linger appears to be unduly long. It scorns to tlie artist that tho two pictures are of the same ticrson, Particulars of this discovery have been sent to London.
