Revenge Theory. tt
The theory of revenge is given

suggested the directori may have
been killed by some 1person who
held grievance against him for
something he had donei in his lro-
fessional work, or in his private
life.

have been the victim .f discarded

had shown considerable attentions
professionally or otherwise.
The theory of burglary is based

closed the door and disappeared
through an alley instead Of going

court.
The police are Of the opinion that
1t was this man who probably fired
the shot that killed the director.
1t was a .38-caliber steel-nosed hull
let that caused the directors death.
The bullet was found last night by
Autopsy Surgeon Wagner. 1t had
penetrated the back beneath the left

see an intruder at work, then
started to rise and seek a revolver
when shot down.
Taylor was the victim of robberies
and forgeries during 1921 that
amounted to several thousand dol
lars. When he returned from a
trip to Europe, he lodged forgery
charges against T.. F. Sands, a
former secretary and valet: He
declared that Sands had looted his
apartment. forged many checks on
his bank account and charged bills
for expensive lingerie and women's
clothing to the director.

the police. but proved fruitless.
Taylor was president of the Mo-
ton Picture Directors Association
and a leader in the fight against
drastic censorship and for clean
pictures. To some of his close
friends he occasionally referred to
daughter, Ethel, eighteen, be-
lieved to be in, or near, New York
city in school. It was the impress,
sion of some Of his friends that
Mrs. Taylor either died or went out
Of the directors life years ago.
He was a man Of fine intellect,
Of a retiring disposition, and had
few friends visit him at his home.
He was an enthusiastic motorist
