Slain by Bandits

to reach all over the country were
being pushed from here today by
Sheriff Matt Starwich. who has pick
ed up fresh clue to the mysterious
Staying in Hollywood, California,
eighteen months ago of William Des-
mond Taylor, movie director. The
purpose of these inquiries was to
find Otis Hefner, described as big
Texan, once stockman and later an
alleged bandit.
The sheriff got interested in the
case yesterday when Crawford White,
lawyer of this city, told him that a
diapond ring which Hefner said he
ha4 hidden between Seattle and Ia
coma was taken from Taylor, accord
ing to Hefners story. Hefner, when
he was prisoner here year ago
on charge of stealing an automo-
bile, led officials to where he said
the cache was. He told them that it
contained diamond ring and $780,
O0A in bonds and seemed much dis
appointed when they found nothing.
White told the sheriff that before
communicating with the officers Hef-
ner had talked with him about the
things supposed to be in the cache
and had said that Taylor was killed
by bandit gang of five, including
Hefner. Hefner Caid that he did not
participate in the killing. White ex-
planned that when he heard that Hef-
ner had left Seattle under a sus-
pended sentence he kept silent for
professional reasons.
