Orton Bhowed him a scar he had Bimilar to a scar known to be on Tichborne's body, and producsd other proofs of recognition, bnt still the tutor refused to believe his story. He afterwards met Carter, who was formerly a private in the Carbineers. Carter believed his assertion that ho was Tichborne,, and was able to give him much news regarding the officers of the regiment. Ho subsequently engaged Carter as servant.
Orton, in his further confession, states that each step advanced and helped others. Lady Tichborne and members of the family, in testing his memory, supplied him with a foundation for his claims to the estate. He admits that the sole basis for his deception was the talk with Bogle, Slade and others in Sydney and Wagga, which enabled him to meet questions put by the family.
