tertained animosity for Taylor to such
a degree that would appear to De an
incentive to murder.
The possibility that Jealousy might
have been the cause for the Staying
was still receiving attention. it was
declared.
Tho discovery that Taylor had once
gone by another name was received
by the police with much interest and
II was said this might prove an I'M
portant element in the case.
Inspection of the Taylor residence
was completed by finger prints experts
who announced they had FOUND I'M
pressions or other clews.
The bullet which was taken from
Taylor's body was produced at the
inquest and then returned to detec-
tiyes who were cndeavoring to learn
its history. The missile was found
practically intact and retained Its orig
inal shape due. county Autopsy SUR

having struck a bone in Its passage

The bullet was declared to be OF an

being n grove around rs circumference

WINGED that Edward f. Sands also
known as Edward Fitz Strathmorc was
in Los Angeles.
Sands was sought because he had
been in the employ of Taylor as q but
Ter and houseman. and the latter had
made Complaint after Sands had lcit
charging him with grand larceny.
The police said they believed SANDS
was in concealment because Of his
fear Of having to face tho grand
