THE TICHBORNE CASE.
FURTHER PARTICULARS. I Press Association.—Electric Telegraph.—
London, May 24. Orton confesses that while at Wagga a chum showed him Lady home's advertisement, suggesting that he answered to the description of the missing heir given therein. Out of devilment Orton pretended to be affected to tears, and thus created a wrong impression for the sake of a lark, though he had never heard of the Tichbornes before his chum showed him the advertisement. Gibbs, of Wagga, was the attorney who persuaded him to write claiming succession. Orton says that Slade gave away all the details of the Tichborne family. He simply sucked Slade's brains. He merely asked Lady Tichborne for £300 in the first instance, but the popular confidence forced on the imposition. His intention was to sail for Panama.
