Year Sentences to Run Concur
rent; Archard Pleads Guilty;
Given One Year.

Henry L. Rumbough, confessed
burglar, must serve two flve-year
sentences in the state penitentiary.
This was the decision of District
Judge Linn this morning when Rum
bough pleaded guilty to two charges
of burglary. Judge Linn announced
that HE would recommend that the
sentences run concurrent. This
means that the burglar will have
to serve only five years.
When Rumbough appeared In
court this morning, he was not evil
IDENTIFY in down-heartened mood.
He was not noticeably affected
when Judge Linn pronounced the
sentence He was clad in his sol
diers' uniform which he had worn
in France and Germany
Rumbough confessed his guilt OF
burglarizing the John Levy home
Coz South Seventh street, and the
r. S. Phillips residence, 419 South
Seventh street. Goods taken from
both houses were recovered when
police searched Rumbough's room.
When questioned this morning by
Judge Linn, the ex-soldler declared
that he had never before been con,
victed of felony.
Pineo Archard, lad charged VITA
uttering bogus check, this morning
pleaded guilty in district court. He
was sentenced to serve one year IN
the penitentiary. The bogus check
was given to the Kern Mercantile
company of Verden.
Both Rumbough and Archard will
be taken to the prison at Granite as
soon as the quarantine is lifted. All
state penal institutions are now
quarantined because of the preya-
lence of smallpox in many counties
in the state, according to T. w.
Foreman, undersheriff. No informa-
tion as to when this quarantine will
be lifted has been received by the
sheriff's office
Several prisoners slated to serve
penitentiary sentences are now be
ing held in the Grady county jail.

Los Angeles. Feb. "A woman
probably was responsible for the
murder OF William Desmond Taylor.
motion picture director Gere yester-
day, detectives believed today.
This theory stood uppermost after
2i hours OF investigation into the
mystery OF the shooting of Taylor.
whose record as war hero and
veteran OF the motion picture indus.
try and director of the Famous
Players Laskey corporation. made
him the outstanding figure in the
movie colonies Of Los Angeles.
Detectives, in their work on the
case, have found that Mable Nor.
mand, movie comedienne, was at
Taylor's home. She went there they
state, to discuss the details OF
picture which was to be filmed with
Taylor directing and Mable taking
one of the leading roles. Taylor
had accompanied Miss Normand to
her automobile, waiting at the curb.
1t is believed that the slayer of
the movie man, may have slipped
into the house unnoticed while Tay-
lor was out. An arrest in connection
with Uie murder may be made be-
fore night, Capt. Adams of the de.
tective bureau announced today.
According to Adams and his as
sociates. the man sought has been
driven from the Taylor bungalow
several times at the point of re.
volver.
Jealousy is the theory on which
the sleuths are working at this
time. They believe that some rival
pulled the trigger that sent re.
volver bullet crashing into Taylor's
body and ended his life. Taylor
was a man of extremely pleasing
personality and with great deal of
personal magnetism. II is said that
he numbered several women among
his intimate friends and associates.
Believing that Miss Normand
could throw some light on the sub
ject, she was questioned closely by
officers. She readily admitted that
she was at his home. The time she
left there, according to her state.
ment, was only few minutes be-
fore a shot was heard Her state
ment as to the time she left has
been corroborated. She denied re.
ports that would indicate that she
and Taylor were engaged. She
stated that there was no love affair
between them.
Mrs. Douglas Mclean, wife of
movie star, and her maid give state
ments that check up some of the
details with reference to the time
Miss Normand left the home Of Tay-
lor and the time the shot was heard.
The maid stated that she heard
footsteps in the alley between the
Mclean and Taylor bungalows.
A few minutes later, possibly five
or six, shot was heard by Mrs.
Mclean, she says and man was
seen hurrying away from the Taylor
Zone. A description of the man
was given and an effort is being
made to determine whether the man
the maid heard going through the
alley and the man seen by Mrs.
Mclean leaving the Taylor residence
was the same.
Detectives have carefully checked
over the probable time elapses and
they state that the probable time
the maid heard the footsteps in the
alley, was the same as that when
Taylor, was. assisting Miss Normand
into her, automobile at the curb.
This tends to strengthen the belief
that the assassin slipped into the
Taylor home while the movie direc-
tor was accompanying Miss Nor,
mand to her car.
