Morris College Professor Says Hans Abbadon Is Dead English King

Lucas: The resemblance is striking. Too striking for Morris College Dr. William Malory, Assistant Dean of History. "No one believes me," he grimaces. " But I have amazing evidence that Third Eye Over Iowa Publisher Hans Abadon is---or rather once was---King Charles I of England." But Charles Stuart was beheaded before hundreds of people in London on January 30, 1649---350 years ago!

     Malory cites a recently discovered account by Colonel Matthew Tomlinson of York, the officer unto whom Parliment entrusted the King. Thomlinson's account came to light amongst ship builders' records while Malory was conducting archival research for the British Royal Navy commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.

     "Thomlinson's account was only mentioned without much detail in letters between Oliver Cromwell's lieutenants." Malory explains. "Until today, nobody knew whether it was extant."

     Colonel Tomlinson gave sworn testimony to a panel of hard-line Members of Parliment in March, 1649 concerning the unusual events following the execution. All offical documentation of his testimony was swiftly supressed by The Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, to discredit Loyalist efforts to elevate Charles I to martyrdom and sway popular opinion.

     Thomlinson's account says:

     "...[I] recognized His majesty in all respects as being his royal person. Yet, to my apprehension, his gait and bearing were wholly alien. I personally had the charge of his person for more than a month and had escorted him to Parliment every day during his trial. So, while the rythm of his movements were as familiar to me as the actions of mine own right hand, the man whom I escorted that morn moved as stiffly and unnaturally as a corpse. You have read the accounts of those who recall his last moments on the scaffold with more grace and regal bearing, yet, it was apparent only to myself by benefit of keen study of his personage, that his final acts were accomplished only under greatest physical effort."

     That night following the execution, Thomlinson stood vigil over the leaden coffin when suddenly the 'body wriggled, the parted head's mouth gaped and sucked air noisily'. Thomlinson fled from the room and when he returned with another mourner, they found nothing amiss with the body---at first.

     They soon realized that the body in the coffin was not that of the King. Malory's evidence does not stop there. He says he has also secured genetic evidence from both Charles I and Hans Abbadon.

     "When Buckingham Palace and a representative from B. Lavatsky Museum denied my requests for DNA samples, I admit that I explored other means of obtaining these. Hair from Charles I came from a treasured heirloom locket volunteered by a distinguished family in Maryland. I cannot comment on Mr. Abbadon, save that the young woman has every hope of having healthy children in the future. The tests thus far indicate the two samples come from the same person---they are indentical. How this is, I cannot---I dare not discuss in detail at this time. But Hans Abbadon and the extremely late Charles I right now seem to be the same man---or at least very closely related."

     Malory declined to name the lab that tested the DNA samples but has promised to name the company when further, more conclusive tests have been completed. A spokesperson for Hans Abbadon at the B.Lavasky Museum declined to comment.
