Various Stories Told by Fields Tn Detroit Claimed to
 Be Bunk"
LETTER PURPORTED FROM SANDS SAID TO BE FAKE
District Attorney Woolwine Getting Testimony from
 Illinois Woman.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 25.- The various stories of the murder Of William D. Taylor told the authori- ties at Detroit by Harry M. Fields, who claims he was given $500 to drive two men and a woman to Tay- lors house on the night of the crime, was today denounced as ''bunk" by officers working on the case.
 The officers declare they have been unable to substantiate any statements made by him concerning his movements and of others alleged implicated in Los Angeles.
 The investigation goes on with unabated energy. District Attorney Woolwine continues to devote the greater part of his time and the efforts of scores of investigators to the task of finding the slayer, but only the unexpected now will bring success. Of course the unexpected may occur at any moment and it is this possibility that spurs the in- vestigators on as time after time they encounter a blank wall in their inquiry.
 Sands Letter a Forgery.
 After making careful exam1na- ticn of its phraseology and hand writing. Woolwine announces that the letter he received purporting to be from Edward F. Sands, hunted as a suspect in the case, was un- doubtedly a forgery and of no value in the investigation.
 Woolwine said:
 We have no reason to believe that the letter was written or even dictated by the reil Sands We have considered it carefully and be- lieve it to be forgery. Regard less of this my offer to Sands of immunity. if he will surrender and establish his innocence, stands.
 A tip that Sands is in hiding in Los Aneeles. which sent detectives to a remote part of the city and discovery that a handkerchief with the initial IS" reported to have been found at the Taylor home was mys- teriously missing, features the in- vesugation now.
 Detectives received information that man resembling Sands de- scription had been seen at a house in the outlying part of the city. Sev- eral investigators went out to fol-
