lam Desmond Taylor Mys-
tery-Covell Trial Friday

SEATTLE, Oct 17.--Luke May,
criminologist, declared that today's
decipherings of horoscopes of Ar
thur Covell, astrologist. held in Ore
eon for murder showed that many
prominent persons in the Hollywood
film colony regulated all important
actions, such as starting action on
next pieces, signing contracts and
writing scenarios, by Covell's pur-
ported reading of the stars.
May said he had completed de-
ciphering the horoscope Of an "act-
ress very prominently mentioned in
the William Desmond Taylor murder
mystery without finding anything
to connect Covell with the Taylor
Staying"
May today stated Klan letters
sent by Arthur Sovell to Mrs. o. X.
Kronenberg advised her to keep
out of the Covell case or get in
trouble"
May requested the authorities for
additional letters of the same nature
and plans to present evidence at the
trial next Friday.

took seat upon a luxurious couch
in the lobby and watched the flow Of
people back and forth. Pretty soon
a well-dressed, prosperous-appear
man sat down beside him and began
reading a newspaper, apparently TAX

er finished reading and started to
rise. when he gave a look of sur
prise and, reaching down, picked up
purse that was lying upon the
couch.
Pardon me, but is this your
purse" he asked Norfeet.
"No, it's not mine" was the reply.
"Wen. somebody must have
dropped it here" the man said.
Perhaps there is something inside
of it that will give a clew to the
oxngr."
He opened the l&Fse ana it was
found to contain 5000 in currency
and cards bearing the name of w,
B. Spencer.
"Well ask the clerk if there is a
man by that name stopping here"
the stranger suggested.

Sure enough, Spencer was regis
tered, and the man who had found
the purse suggested that Nordeet go
with him to Spencer's room and re-
turn the purse. They found Spencer
a most appreciatiye and companion
able fellow. He insisted on dividing
the 5000 between NorGeet and the
stranger as a reward for their hon
esty, but they refused to accept it.
There were introductions all
around, and the trio soon got on the
most friendly terms. Spencer kept
saying that he was going to reward
the two men for returning The purse
to him. The next day he got Nor

turned out to be Flury, notorious
