“On the seashore, some half a mile to the east of the Tuxall place, and a little beyond.”
“Is there a roadway from the Tuxall place to the spot?”
“No; I believe not. But one could go across the fields and through the barn to the old deserted roadway.”
“Ah. There’s an old roadway, is there?”
“Yes. It skirts the shore to join Boston Pike about three miles up.”
“And how far from this roadway were your son’s clothes found?”
“Just a few feet.”
“H’m. Any tracks in the roadway?”
“Yes. I recall seeing some buggy tracks and being surprised, because no one ever drives that way.”
“Then it is conceivable that your son’s clothes might have been tossed from a passing vehicle, to the spot where they were discovered.”
