the person who shot the director
Wednesday night in the living room
Of his apartments in an exclusive
residential section near West Lake
park.
The inquest, held today, lasted less
than 45 minutes and resulted IN an
open verdict, the jury declaring Tay-
lor came to his death from a gunshot
wound inflicted by an unknown ter
son with homicidal intent.
One New Development
Practically the only new develop
ment in the inquest testimony was
that the bullet which ended Taylor's
life, ranged upward after entering
the body on the rear of the left side
about four inches above the hip and
lodged near the shoulder. This indi-
Gated, according to detectives, the
slayer fired from a reclining position
or that Taylor was bending over
when the shot was fired.
Miss Mabel Normand was the only
one OF a number Of motion picture
actors and actresses subpoenael who
was called to the stand. She testi-
fled she called upon Taylor Wednes-
day night, leaving at 7:45, or about
IS minutes before a shot was heard
by neighbors. Mrs. Douglas Mac
Lean, one of those who told Of hear
ing the shot, was at the inquest, but
was not called to the stand. A de-
tective, however testified Mrs. Mac
Lean told him that after she heard
the shot she went to her door and
looked across a court and saw a man
standing at Taylor's door.
The detective named two others
who he said told him they had heard
shot. The coroner asked him If
they gave any explanation why they
made no investigation at the time.
He replied they said they thought
the sound might have been made by
an exploding tire.
The deceased was referred to as
Taylor throughout the inquest.
Search for the person described by
Mrs MacLean and for Edward F..
Sands. former butler and secrtary for
Taylor, continued and the police ran
down numerous fruitless clues. 1t
was admitted for the first time by
the investigators that Sands is be-
lieved to be in or near Los Angeles.
He had been sought for several
months on a grand larceny charge
made by Taylor. who alleged Sands
stole some of his effects and disap-
peared. Investigators said they had

QUIET OBSERVANCE

Because the "wherewithalr" has
been taken away, Walter S. ingalls,,
adjutant general Of Arizona, was un-
able to celebrate yesterday. Other
wise he would have. He said so
himself yesterday when he recalled
that it was the twenty third ami

The only other officer in Arizona
at present who was in Manila at

necessary, because right at hand
IN e, cry part of the State: WOOD
is growing-wood is gong TO
waste. wood that could readily
keep you warm. 1t may be q
surprise to learn that a cord OF

ton of anthracite, and yet II ls,a Is d
fact. Of course, wood is a little
more bulky to handle, you nave

YOU certainly get the heat. Who
hasn't felt the genial warmth

old air-tight stoves? There are
plenty of pipeless furnaces now
on the market that will burn
wood equally as well as coal,

larger scale.
Thousands of cords OF wood
are wasted every year IN the
woods, which if cut up, season,

readily sell for $500 to 81. 90
per cord. It takes some little
time for wood to season properly,
that's why the State Board of
Forestry is calling attention to
getting the wood now. Oak ar d
hickory, of course, stand at the
top of the list, but locust, beech,

to mix in with some of the poor
