killing could not resist stealing
two signed checks and thereby
lay his downfall
Roy ID. Taylor, who was regis
tered at downtown Minneapolis
hotel As n. ID. Turner. showed up
at the office Of the Minneapolis
SPOKESMAN last week.
In 1914 he had worked briefly
on the paper as an advertising
solicitor. He told the staff mem
bers he was on vacation from the
job OF managing editor OF the
Gulfport Informer. Mobile, Ala.
weekly.
Taylor remained around the
newspaper office for several days
Offering suggestions and selling
ads ito help" the ad staff.
Each day he put off his depart
ure another day to help out" the
staff during the Easter rush.
Monday, March 10, two checks
were found TO be missing from the
newspaper business check book.
Paper officials reported the loAs TO
the bank but said nothing TO Tay-
lor.
The loss was also reported 10
the police. Mobile, Alabama was
contacted and the daily paper
there said the Gulfport Informer
had been closed down for four
months. No one there knew Tay-
lor.
The hotel was contacted and 1t
was revealed that Taylor was reg
istered there under an assumed
name.
Wednesday morning Detective
Jeff Couch Of the hotel and forg-
cry detail came to the newspaper
office where Taylor was giving
statesmen some advice and took
Taylor TO headquarters.
Taylor denied the paper he
claimed he worked on was out OF
business He tried TO explain that
his false registration at the hotel
was to keep his many friends"
from botheriRg him. He denied
knowing anything about the miss
ing checks.
Finally he admitted that his
story Of being managing editor Of
the Mobile paper was false. He
was booked on a charge Of regis
tering at n hotel under an assum-
ed name Taylor said he had been
arrested only once In his life.
When Detective Couch checked
the records he found that Taylor
had a police and FBI record two
and one-hAlf pages In length from
everything from impersonating an
officer 10 blackmail and grand
larceny
In court Wednesday morning. he
was found guilty OF registering
under an assumed name and was
sentenced by Judge Dana Nlchol-
son 10 the maximum Of 30 days
or $50 fine.
Taylor got on the phone and
called several people asking them
10 provide him with fine money
As the days workhouse prisoners
were lined up 10 be transported 10
the workhouse, out OF nowhere,
Taylor produced $50 and was re-
leased.
Police are wondering where he |
got the money, because close
search Of him when booked pro-
iuced only SO on his person.
A few hours after he got out Of |
Jail, the Racine, Wis, police
ohoned that Taylor was wanted |
here for first degree grand lar
seny. Taylor's whereabouts are
now unknown.
