MY association with Mr.. Taylor
was OF the slightest. knew him
Just as know hundreds OF other
people in motion picture work. but
even the little contact had bred a
sincere admiration for the man.
Taylor was n man OF education
and culture and not only respected
him but liked him. SO far as can
determine, this was the feeling of
everyone else who knew Taylor. To
me. the killing is blank mystery,
because I cannot imagine such a man
with enemies yicioug enough to re.
sort TO murder.
Having such a feeling personally
for 2r. Taylor. ! was very glad that
he was also friend OF Miss Mabel
