It would be nice to find a corroborating source of information, so I shall keep looking.

I thought they used two wires for the telegraph first, then realized the ground could be used as a return path, and THEN started using only one wire, since it saved wire. 18 Ground Currents, Step Potential, Earth Current Transients.15 Cross-bonding to earth in the bathroom.This article has been rated as B-Class on the project's quality scale.
