not do so.
Miss Purv1ance. who lives in a
house adjoining Taylors bungalow,
returned home about midnight and
saw light burning in Taylors
study.
Douglas McIain and his wife, who
live in the same district, said they
heard the shot fired shortly after
O'Clock. They thought az the time
10 might be an automobile exhaust.
They described q strange man whom
they saw in the street. The descrip-

Taylor had never been married,

Servant Tells story.
Harry Peavy Taylor's negro serv-
ant. told the police that he left the
apartment according 10 his custom.
at about 1880 o'clock wednesday
night. He said that Miss Normand
WAS still there At that time, having
arrived while no was serving dinner
Z
police made 10 plain that they had
+ no suspicion so far as Miss Normand
was concerned. but questioned her
merely in looking for possible clews
in all available quarters.
When Taylor's body was first

died from a hemorrhage. so slight
was the wound in his neck left by
/ the passage OF the bullet After
this wound was discovered, search

that they had seen a stranger about

and after neighbors heard a shot.
1t was thought possible the slayer
