died in 1S71). Druee was supposed to
have died In 1NtW. It is claimed that In
the latter year the duke tired of living
a double life and determined to do
away with the role he was pluylng un­
der the name of Thomas Charles
Druee and had a mock funeral In ful­
fillment of this plan, buying the silence
of Ills children by Ills two later wives
through deeding to them large amounts
of property. The plaintiff In the suit Is
a son of Drtiee's son by his first wife.
It would throw II .¡it on the mystery tf
the grave o f D im e could lie opened
and the coffin examined to determine
whether it contains a skeleton or not.
Such a move has been fought by the
defendants In the suit, a circumstance
which gives rise to the impression
that they are a fra
of what the ex­
it tulnation might reveal.
