Miss Shore, who gave her age as 43, is the daughter of Thomas Shore, a well-to-do rancher near Cupertino. Shore's first wife was drowned in an irrigation canal on the Shore ranch a year ago. She had fallen into the water while watching Shore swim and when he returned up stream he met her body floating down toward him.
