Think Sands Author of
Note Received in
Los Angeles
United Press Leased Wire

NE WYORK, March Ga mar
hunt, spreading over New York, New
England and extending to ships at sea
within radio distance Of this coast, was
on today for Edward f. Sands, sus
pected slayer of William d. Taylor.
Captain of Detectives Adams, Los
Angeles, asked that the search be
made, following receipt of q writer
confession Of the Taylor murder
The confession' letter was mailed
from n Connecticut town and Adams
believes the hand writing is TINT OF
Sands.
Charge Love Affair
The writer of the letter said he was
an avcnging husband and that he
killed Tavlor because the movie di-
rector had had an affair with his wife
aud then scOrned her.
Certain details of the letter are be-
ING withheld by Los Angeles police, ac'
cording to dispatches xrom that city.
The portion that has been made
public, however, quote the writer as
saving he and his wife droye to Tay-
lor's home the night of February /,
quietly watched Taylor escort Mabel
Normand to her car, saw Henry Pea-
vcv, the negro valet, depart and then
slipped into the bungalow. Taylor, re-
turning from bidding Miss Normand
good night and was confronted by the
wronged woman and irate husband.
The shooting followed.
Sands Handwriting, Belief
Comparison of this letter with speci-
mems of Sands handwriting indicate he
wrote it, according to advices from Los
Angeles. However, police are inclined
to doubt the details of the killing as
nivcn in the letter They say Sands
never had a wife. IF the letter is
authentic, then a hidden chapter in
the lives of the missing Sands and
TAYLOR. is just opening, police believe.
Several such chapters in Taylor s life
already have been made public, lnclud-
mo the revelation that he formerly
was known as William Deane Tanner
and had wife under that name.
This is the first trace of an alleged
affair with the mysterious, hitherto
unknown Mrs. Sands.
Eastern Police Search
Police of the eastern seaboard are
searching hotels and lodging houses fol
q man answering Sands description
They are also on the lookout for the
woman in the case. An effort has
been made to pick up the trail in the
Connecticut town where the letter was
mailed but progress made is not re-
vcaled.
The long arm of the wireless is
reaching out to ships which sailed re-
eentlv from Atlantic coast ports, flash
ing their captains description OF the
freitivc. 1t is believed possible he
may bc,arrested by wireless ON the high
seas as was DIR. Crippen, the notorious
wife murderer ~.

ORDER INVESTIGATION
Suspect Struggles File Into
Cell, Makes Key
From Spoon

An extensive jail break was pre-
vented and an investigation ordered of
evident underground channels of com
munieation with prisoners as the re-
suit of the discovery of six prisoners
saving through steel bars at the county
jail Saturday night, it became known
today
Deputy Jailer Weir surprised the
prisoners at their work and with the
aid of Deputy Sheriff Jack Ridgwav
fbalked the intended break.

Weir went to the peephole none the

with paper wadding.

under way in the runway, Weir

Prisoners Saving Bars
Their fine steel saw sileneed with
soap, six prisoners were taking turns
saving through the steel bars leading
to the outside. Rutherford B. Evans,
alias S. L. Lashbrooke, wanted in Los
Angeles for burglary and several
previous Jail escapes, was said to be
ring leader of the sextette
Under the muzzle of guns, the men
were driven back into the tank and
locked up in separate cells, previous
privileges being suspended.
vestgation developed that Evans,
with the use of a file smuggled into the
jail, had made a KEY from tablespoon
and unlocked the door opening into the
steel-caged runway. How he managed
to gain a pattern for the key remains
a mystery, along with the manner in
which both the file and the steel saw
were smugglcd in to him at the jail.
Sheriff Applestill was Immediately
notified of the attempted Jail delivery
and transmitted instructions to Under
sheriff Harry Barker and Chief taller
Cummings to institute a thorough in
