Though hopeful Of ultimate success, those who are

That which has been satisfactorily proven in the
judgment Of his pursuers Is that William Tweed did
take the Long Island route in the carriage which
traced 70 Oriental Grove and lost. The HERALD's
theory N this direction is supported by the great
side They believe that the mysterious carriage was
driven described from Hunters Point 70 Wetrs
Point only nine miles apart thence 10 Oriental Grove
where II turned back TO Willetts Point and, Tweed
leaving II, embarked In small boat Saturday night
and crossed the FCr Schuyler shore and went
TO New York city The other side OF this theory Is
believed by others-namely, that Tweed drove from
Oriental Grove to Wetts Point where he has host OF
friends among whom he remained concealed until mid
night and embarking on board the steam yacht which

landed her passenger Indian Cove where he remained
until it longer safe do and then returned TO
the city where he lies hidden in some obscure
corner surrounded by the most desperate and faithful

There are no doubts Of the accuracy Of one or the
other of these theories entertained by any OF the in
