Detectives assigned to the case by
the Los Angeles police department
announced today that they were con-
WINGED that Edward r. Sands. also
known as Edward Fftz Strathmore,
was in Los Angeles. Sands was
sought because he had been in Tay-
lor's employ as a butler and house
man, and the latter had made com
plant after Sands had left, charging
him with grand larceny.
The police said they believed Sands
was in concealment because of his

said another reason for her visit there
was a desire on her part to secure the
return of some letters which. she said,
had been directed by her to Mr.. Tay
lor. Tho detectives said Miss Nor
