Declares Prosecutor Woolwine, Who

Interview"

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. l3.--lnvesti-
CATION Of William Desmond Taylor's
murder continued to-day, although it
was legal holiday.
District Attorney Woolwine said he
was uncertain what form the inquiry
would take, but thought it unlikely he
would summon to his offices any mo-
ton picture stars or Others. He
thought il more probable, he stated,
that the detectives would investigate
any available leads and that witnesses
would be summonded for questioning
hereafter only when the. PRELIMINARY
work of the officers indicated some
discovery of more than usual import.
Mr.. Woolwine issued statement
"faked and fraudulent in
terviewsn on the case declaring there
was grave and serious doubt at the
present time as to to whether the muir
derer viii ever be apprehended.
While the police detectives and the
sheriffs deputies have not acknowledge
defeat they admit the ease is one OF
the most bewildering ever TO come. to
their attention.
A sample of some of the "tips" sent
the officials is the following from a
letter is what seemed woman's hand

lor was killed by a fair haired woman
with hooked nose. Find that woman

of the fact that. the creamery started
business with $4,000 unpaid capital
stock and in a year when conditions
were unparalleled.

done amounted in money to S22s,-

excellence of the management and the
soundness OF the business. A dividend
OF six per cent was voted paid on all
paid-up capital stock. The board Of
