other girls had dired with Mr. Taylor
I told her there was only one. She
asked me the name. and ! told her
Miss Normand, She laughed and said
that Mr.. Taylor had me well bained.
Miss Normand said yesterday it was
her opinion that the director was slain
by one seeking vengeance and intimated
! that a mysterious telephone call might
have something to. do with the case.
She said:
There is a doubt yet in my mind
but that the murderer was not in the
house secreted during the time of my
short visit with him. | cant understand
how he could have been brazen enough
to have entered during the brief interim
when Mr.. Taylor came with me. to the
curbing.
The mysterious part of it all was n
telephone call he was receiving shortly
before l visited his apartment to inquire
about book he was to lend me.
"In my opinion. Mr.. Taylor was of
| irreproachable morals. a typical GENTLE
man who seemed incapable Of stooping
to things of the questionable sort. TO
me he was always a kindly adviser in
my efforts at mental improvement. and
to all who knew him he was an inspira-
tion to the nobler and loftier things of
! life.'
The wealthy young New York man
/ who was reported to have left Los
Angeles on the day following -he mur-
! der of Taylor. and who was enamOred
of one of the motion picture actresses
whom police have been questioning in
connection with the case, was found
late last night by private detectives.
According to- these Investigators he
gave an account of himself which they
say practically eliminates him from
consideration in connection with the
case. He was found in downtown
hotel. Interest had centercd upon him
to be rejected suitor of an actress
reported infatuated with Taylor.

as to his whereabouts at the time Of
