WILL TELL
HIS STORY
Says He Had Nothing TO Do
With Drowning Of Clarence
Foster and Sarah Lawrence.

Good Ground, L. l., June 2l.-Jacob FL
senblau. a butcher OF this place, returned
here yesterday afternoon. and reported
that he met Disbrow in Richmond Hill.
and that Disbrow told him he would
either come to Good Ground or go TO
Southampton today and explain his con-
nection with the Foster-Lawrence drown
ing mystery. Eisenbiau said he went TO
Richmond Hill TO visit his mother. and
that he accidentally ran acroSs Disbrow

I'VE went into a saloon and had
drink" said Eisenblau. "and / told Dis
brow that the people in Good Ground
were telling all sorts OF stories about his
connection with the death OF Clarence
Foster and Sarah Lawrence. Disbrow
said he had nothing TO do with the
drowning Of either Foster or the girl
noon and clear himself, He did not say
whether he would come to Good Ground
or go to Southampton He said he had
kept away because his lawyer told him
TO do go"
So many stories have been told in
Good Ground by the villagers about the
Foster-L Lawrence case that several per-
sons here were inclined TO question the
truth OF what Eisenblau said, but he
stuck TO the story that he had seen Dis
brow and had talked with him. Dis
brow and he have known each other for
several months.
Coroner Nusent was 10 have held the
