Opposed to them are Russians loyal to the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia and who are certain that the “Frau von Tchaikovsky” of controversy is their Grand Duchess Anastasla. Rescued From Canal. So far as the public knows, the story of the mystery woman of Seeon starts on February 17, 1920, when the Berlin police rescued. her from the Landwehr Canal, into which she had thrown herself. She was taken to a charity hospital. She refused stead- fastly to reveal her identi After two months of silence the hospital ua- thorities had her committed to the Daldorf Asylum, Berlin's institution for the insane. The aristocratic bearing and ex- treme reserve of the mysterious Fa- | tient excited the curiosity of the| asylum doctors and nurses. They questioned her incessantly, but with- out result. For two years she was listed on their books as “Fraulein Unknown.” ~When visitors came to the ward she covered her head and turned her face to the wall. One night a nurse who had been especially kind and tactful was ap- proached by the mysterious patient In her hand was an old copy of a Ger- man illustrated magazine containing a plcture of the Czar's family. The patient asked the nurse if she saw | anything curious in the picture. The nurse did not. “Fraulein Unknown’ then pointed to one of the Czar's daughters in the group and asked if she observed anything striking about it. After looking at the picture for some moments, the nurse was struck with the resembl: between the pa- tient and the Czar’s daughte ight watchman e anlein Unknow back into bed, covering he he was gone. Several hours late i and in a state of violent told the nurse the story of the Russian imperial family's exe- cution in detail. Urged to Leave Asylum.
