THE KITCHENER HOAX.
London, Sept. 9.
The Home Office has ended the Kitchener hoax with an official statement to the effect that exhaustive inquiries have conclusively established that the coffin never left England. They have been able to trace it to Newcastle, where it was stored until sent to London ah e oedly containing Kitchener’s remains. They vouch for the fact that it was not tampered with in any respect. Furthermore, the Norwegian authorities gave no permission to anybody to open any grave in their territory. The public may therefore be satisfied that the entire statements are without foundation. The statement adds: “Power staged an elaborate mock funeral in Norway for film purposes.”
