 With yelled hints at probable ac- | tion against Chief of Police A. J. l Moore in the civil courts for alleged 1, unla wful detention of MT. and Mrs. l F. M. z. Taylor, coincident with the arrival of Detective Nick B. Narris l of Los Angeles, armed with felony warrants for each but minus his requisition papers, and with appear ance scheduled for Taylor before Superior Judge Phillips at , o'clock this afternoon in response to a writ of habeas corpus secured by Attorney A. D. Leyhe. the case of the Los Angeles man and woman who have been held at the city jail for eight days may be said to be approaching sensational developments It would be fruitless to forecast just what turn the case may take within the next few hours.
 Taylor has stated upon two or three occasions that he would not fight extradition Then he denounced the entire proceedings as pure spite work and declared that he would never voluntarily return to Los An | geles unless Governor Hunt honors the requisition of Governor Johnson | for his eXtradition. And now that i Harris is here. admitting that he has no acquisition, but expects them this morning, Taylor and his attorney are both proclaiming that by no means will either of the defendants return to the Golden state unless | compelled to do so by due process of law.
 | To add another touch to the un- expected developments, Louis R. Fay 1 Tor, son of the man in the city jail. and a valued employe of the Southern Pacific railroad at River Station, California, is expected here this morning to aid his father in whatever way possible. In some man ner the young man is said to have become possessed of the idea that his father is to be prosecuted upon some charge growing out of the alleged desertion of four young children, and it is thought that the son, who has been exercising watchful care over his younger brothers and sisters since their father came to Arizona and who knows they are well taken care of, lis coming here to see that such a charge is not pressed and that his
 father is not inconvenienced or dis
 graced by what he calls unfounded
 reports.
 , When Harris arrived here yesterday he was accompanied by Mrs Harris jUho had been deputiZed to accompany him and to escort Mrs. Taylor back to Los Angeles. They were greeted by Chief of Police Moore and Mrs. | Moore and taken out to the Moore
 residence and entertained through , out the day There was nothing that / could be accomplished on Sunday and . Detective and Mrs. Harris enjoyed : the hospitality of the city chief and his wife, making journey in an
 automobile about the valley and wis
 iting various points of interest.
 When Detective Harris first in- terviewed the Taylors in the city
 ;ail he announced to them that they : were wanted in Los Angeles to ans wer the charge of issuing fictitious lchecks Technically, according to Har- | ris. TaylOr is wanted for issuing Q five dollar check to Aarons and Sons
 Of Los Angeles, after he had beer officially informed that his account
 had been overdrawn. Mrs. Taylor laccording to Harris is wanted, al :. though she is said to have drawr Il still other checks. one for $l0 anC . another for about $15.
 That these checks do not represen the amount of the alleged tranGac f tions of the Taylors is the claim o Il the detective. He admitted howeve
 last evening that he did not belieV' U :! that the total would exceed seventy u five dollars In addition he said tha e right down in the bottom of his hear t he believed that if Taylor had beer
 left alone for a day or two longe
 until he had made some of the deal
 which he had pending he would hay
 made the checks good.
 But" said Harris. 'the troubl is that Tavlor did the same thin
 some months ago ard only escape i prosecution when h!s son came to hi " aid and made some checks goot Y, It may be that, while Taylor is no ' bad man or crook, he needs sue s a jolt as this to bring him to a re
 Taxation that he cannot toy wit
 the law As for myself, I woul
 rather not have to take the Taylor
 back, for I think there will be littl
 effort made to press the charg against Mrs. Taylor and it may b
 that I and some other persons ma be able to make things d good b , lighter for Taylor than we would
