PENNINGTON Me. June 12.-Not
in years has this part of Maine been
so aroused over a crime as It is to-
day over the discovery of the mutt
lated body of Mrs. Eta Taylor, which
was found buried in a shallow grave
in her own door yard yesterday. While
the authorities are working to unravel
the mystery, the wOman's husband,
Marshall Taylor, a professional guide,
sits stolidly in his cell. evidencing
no interest in the accusations against
him or the ugly threats of the towns
people. When he was confronted
with her body, he displayed no emo
ton, merely remarking. That's her,
all right"
There Is also under arrest Gida
Searles, a comely woman of 26, who
entered Taylor's employ as house
keeper shortly after his wife's dis
appearance. She is the sister of a
notorious fe-murderer now confin-
ed in Thomaston prison. and has her
self been behind bars for a statutory
offense. The authorities say today
that the web of evidence is fast clos
ing around the guide although 1t is
not alleged his companion knew OF
the crime.
