A number Of circumstances
caused officials TO advance the
theory Of foul play. First, they
have the testimony of William
Holmes and Jacob Perkins neigh
bors OF the LaWrenceS. who we're
attending meeting Of the Mod
ern Woodmen at Hickory and on
seeing the flames from the fire,
drove quickly TO the scene. The
men arrived too late to. rescue
any of those in the doomed house.
Both Holmes and Perkins climb
ed tree, however. overhanging
the Lawrence home and were
able to peer in the fame lit Win
dows and discern and recognize
the bodies Of each Of the victims.
A second circumstance is the
report that ON the body of one Of
the women, believed TO be that
of Mrs. Drew, two wounds were
found which are believed to have
been inflicted with a two bladed
AK found in the bed on which she
and her young babe lay. The in
fant'S clothing was saturated
with blood and the moistened
clothing Of both mother and babe
kept their bodies from being
charred as much as the others.
1t is further reported Lawrence
had suffered a series of mental
breakdowns i'll recent months but
had never shown a disposition to
do violence to members of his
own family or others. He IS d
brother -in-law of Drew, members
of whose family had come to the
Lawrence home to spend the
night. The belief is freely ex-
pressed that Lawrence went Sud
