tigation by the district attorneys of

lor murder mystery will proceed to-
day, although it is a legal holiday,
according to a statement made shortly
after midnight by Thomas Lee Wool

He said he was uncertain what form
the inquiry would take, but thought it
unlikely he would summon to his of
flces any motion picture stars or 9TH

stated, that the detectives would in
vestigate any available leads, and
that witnesses would be summoned
for questioning by him hereafter only
when the preliminary work of the Of
ficers indicated some discovery of
more than usual Importance.
This latter course would place the
detectives Of the police department
again on their theory that the find
ing of Edward F. Sands, missing for
mer butler-secretary to Taylor, was
essential to the solution of the enig-
ma, and those f the sherff's ffice on
their diametrieally opposed conten-
ton that Sands had nothing to do with

Shortly before this partial disclos-
