ARREST SLATED
IN 15-YEAR-OLD
TAYLOR KILLING
Hitherto Unsuspected
Man Involved in
Murder Case

LOS ANGELES, June 9.
(UP)-Di S trio t Attorney
Buron Fits, taking charge
of the renewed investigation
into the 15-year-old Staying
of William Desmond Taylor, today
said an arrest would be made in
the case shortly.
There will be an arrest in the
Taylor case and further grand jury
investigation not immediate
ly," the district attorney admitted.
Fits took direct charge of the
case after what he termed "unfor-
tunate publicity" which disclosed
progress of months of undercover
work.
Evidence supposedly linking a
man hitherto unsupported to the
case was said to have been uncov-
cred by Detective Lieutenants Thad
Brown and Leroy Sanderson.
The suspect had been traced by
the police for several months. No
hints to his identity would be given
by the officers who said they had
been warned to remain silent on
the case.
Meanwhile ballistic experts were
checking the 38 caliber bullet which
was taken from the secret hiding
place where it had remained
throughout the years. The bullet
was green with mold but was con-
sidered an important piece of evi-
dence which may aid in solving
the case.
