CHAPTER

The Tichborne Case: Identity and Illusion

This chapter explores the famous Tichborne identity case, examining themes of identity, fraud, and societal implications during the claimant trial. It highlights the complexities surrounding Arthur Orton's claim to be Roger Tichborne, the family's skepticism, and the working-class support that contradicted the era's fight for workers' rights. The narrative also touches on the impact of forensic science developments, the claimant's fading legacy, and the economic implications that led to the enactment of the Tichborne Act.
