OGNIZED GRAND DUCHESS AT ONCE, INVESTIGATOR SAYS Man Who Knew Czar's Family in Siberia Positive in I&entifying Mystery Womdn Of Seeon. BY GLEB E. BOTKIN. NEW YORK, August 9.—On Mon- ay. the day appointed for my meet- ith the mystery woman of Seeon, was called to Wasserberg to be fronted with a Pole, the brother vorking woman certain apers charged Frau sky to The Duke of Le me to be in a parlor Tehaikovsky would pass on her way to the waiting motor car. He planned to present me in the hope of relieving the tension my presence had en- gendered. The prospect of a meeting at last made me very nervous. I paced up and down the parlor trying to While what I had heard in Europe made it clear it r impossible that -Frau von haikovs could be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, I was still unable 1o believe that it could be she. I even doubted my ability to recog- nize her, for in Paris my own brother and I were unable to recognize one another after 10 years of separation. What it she were merely a person who by chance curiously resembled the grand duchess! “It Was Anastasia!” I was in the middle of these specula- tions when the door opened suddenly and before me stood the Grand Duchess Anastasia. Her face was drawn, which made her nose seem larger. Her mouth was twisted un- naturally at one corner—the result of a bayonet wound. She was sick and nervous. But, nevertheless. it was the Grand Duchess Anastasia, whom I had last seen in Siberia nine years before. There was not the slightest question i my mind. The duke presented me. The woman smiled and gave me her hand to kiss, exactly as she used to do. She said only ““Good day,” in German, and then went swiftly to the car.

Immediately the car had left, all present flocked about me, demanding my_opinion. “Ta me she looks exactly grand duchess,” 1 said. either the Grand Duche: or a miracle.

She returned in two hours, but was too exhausted by the trip to see me I walked In the rden wondering whether I was ever to see her. She sent word that she would see me the next day. This had been my daily experience since coming to Castle Seeon, and now more than ever I felt I must have an adequate talk with her The sun was setting. lighting up the lake with gorgeous veflections.

Several arrows were hopping about on the ill, feeding from her d. 1 remained motionless, carried back 10 years. Every detail of our Siberian extle came flooding back. How often then had I watched the grand duch- ess standing at a window sm at me in exictly the same manner. Every doubt was disspelled. Those eyes and that smile could be long to no person in the world other than the Grand Duchess Anastasia T remained standing until she howed for the last time and left the window Chats With Mystery Woman. The following afternoon the grand duchess, for T shall now refer to her as such, sent for me. I found her lving on a couch in her room. She seemed still very tired and nervous. but forced herself to smile kindly She gave me her hand to kiss and acked me to sit down. We talked. She did not call me by name, but she talked to me in that unconcerned manner of persons well acquainted with one another. I had been introduced under my own name. There are several mem- hers of my family in Europe, yet the grand duchess knew exactly who I was. She talked to me of my sis- ter, and my brother, and referred to my cousin Sergius. I talked to her partly in German, partly in Russian. She spoke a broken German, but un- derstood everything I said in Rus- sian. She did not seem aware when I changed from one language to the other.

Besides, now that 1 was face to tace with her and talking with her, I had no need for tests. The surpris- ing thing to me was not that she so little resembled the Girand Duchess Anastasia_of the old days, but that she had changed so little. Her eyes preserved the same pure and kind expression, every gesture, every word, every movement, her laughter. all her mannerisms, re- mained astonishingly unchanged. [ could not notice even the difference that takes place generally in a per- son between the ages of 18 and 25. I could explain this only because of the years spent in hospitals and sanitariums, and also because of the mental afflictions she had suffered after the murders at Ekaterinberg. She had remained a child in many ways and had preserved many of the_ characteristics of childhood that normally one loses upon reaching maturity.
