Murder of Woman
StirS Maine Farmers

FARMINGTON. Me-. June 12.-Not in
years has this part of Maine been so
aroused over a crime as it is today over
the discovery of the mutilated body of
Mrs. Eta Taylor, which was found
buried in shallow grave in her own
yard yesterday.
While the authorities are working to
unravel the mystery. the woman's hus-
band, Marshall Taylor, a professional
guide, sits stolidly in a prison cell, evil
dencing no interest in the accusations
against him or the ugly threats of the
townspeople. When he was confronted
with her body he displayed no emotion,
merely remarking:
That's her, all right"
Gida Searles. a comely woman of
twenty-six, who entered TayIor's en-
ploy as housekeeper shortly after his
wife's disappearance, is also under ar
rest. She is a sister of a notorious
wife murderer, now confined in Thom-
aston prison, and has herself been be-
hind bars for statutory offense.
The authorities say today that the
web of evidence is fast closing around
the guide, although it is not alleged his
companion knew of the crime

Seek Man Who Admitted
He Dynamited Building

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 12.-Ab-
sence of the man who gave an affidavit
to the effect that he blew up the hotel
at French Lick Springs for the union
ironworkers, has resulted in an extern
sive search being instituted for him. 1t
is asserted that the signer of the affi-
davit left the city soon after he de-
sCribed in a sworn statement just how
he committed the crime.
Should the hunt prove successful. it
is believed his testimony will be as
important as any yet obtained, for the
affidavit quieted the first story that
the wrecking of the hotel resulted from
a grievance caused by heavy losing at
gaming tables.
Two Investigations into the cause of
the explosion were stopped soon after
detectives had started on the case.
Democratic Leader Taggart caused the
investigations to be discontinued, say
ing that little damage had been done.

Rockefeller Pastor Off
To Attend Coronation

NEW YORK, June 12.-In order to at
tend tn coronation Of King George,
Rev. DR.. John Henry Jowett, the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church's import
ed pastor, sailed today on the Adriatic
for his home. He was enthusiastic in
his praise of New York.
New York is in the forefront Of civ
1lizat:on," he said, and as spiritual in
proportion as any other city. l have
found much virtue here, but IT doesn't
advertise itself as does vice.
We are living at a terrific pace. In
New York everything is done on the
run. Those who run fastest in the mad
race are generally sure to fall, and the
greater the pace the more disastrous
the fall. l do not find Americans cold
or lacking in understanding of spiritual
things. l am well pleased with my
work so far
