seen several times with Taylor.
Whether the man In question might
have had further reason for Jealousy
tlY details are considered OF enough
ihportance to warrant widespread
investigation.
"a beautiful young woman, who,
trapped In an evening cloak and baro-
ded, drove through Ventura at n
dizzy rate OF speed at 3 o'clock I'm the
morning after William Desmond Tay-
lor was murdered. is being sought by

Two theories In the investigation Of
the Taylor murder mystery have been
definitely eliminated and abandoned

doned theories is that Taylor was
slain by sneak thief or prowler. Tn,
other that he was killed by dope
peddler or bootlegger.
| Il wss pointed out that no attempt
was made TO rob Taylor's body. al.
though he had $40 In his pocket and
considerable jewelry.
The evidence accumulated in the In
vestigation It was ascertained,- shows
clearly that Taylor was killed either
for revenge or because OF Jealousy.
