The most important development Of the day
WAS the testimony Of Nelson B. Squires- an
expert hay man that on the night Foster and
Miss Lawrence were drowned two boats were

THE TWO BOAT THEORY.
For several days there has been what was
known as the Two boat" rurnor in the case
II held that Foster and Miss Lawrence were
murdered after they left the beach near Tun-
nelis Pine Grove House presumably TO row
nile up the shore TO the Ocean View Hotel where
The Lawrences were living. The murderer,
cording to the theory, attacked them from an
other boat. knocked them into the bay without
upsetring their boat and then escaped to shore

way interested in the case. said this afternoon
that on Monday night, besides the lealy Tun-

squires says further. and in his statement is
supported by other baymen, that the point 10

occupants went overheard in shallow water If
they had been dumped in the channel he says.
