PARKS-BELK CO. CONCORD, N. C. THE HOME OF BETTER VALUES ' J - ■ , -> A- TO QUIZ FILM STARS Officials Working on New Clue Will Question Mabel Normand and Mary MHos Minter Regarding Director’s' Strange Death. -Edward J. Doherty in New York Mirror. Mabel Normand. the moat unfor tunate moving pictures actress, and Mary Miles Min ter. who isn’t an act ress any more, have not yet finished with the William Desmond - Taylor murder mystery, it seems. Dispatches from Los Angeles to the Daily Mirror last night said tfult Dis trict Attorney Asa Keyes and Depu ty District Attorney Harold L. Davis left secretly for New Turk a few days ago, “to-jnvestigate a new clue in the Tayltjjr murder.” The Los Angeles Examiner states that a mystery witness who has been missing since the murder, February 4, 11122, has been found in Detroit, and that after this witness has been questioned the district attorney and hie assistant “will go to New York to " question two well known moving pic ture stars.” Light on Story. _ It is not believed that cither Miss Normand or Miss Minter is involved in the murder; but perhaps they wifi be able to throw some light on the Detroit witness’* story. Both screen beauties are at’ pfdu ent in New York. But though Miss Normand has never fully recovered I from the shock of Taylor’s death, and the months, of Qlness she suffered be cause of the tragedy and the attend ant publicity, MW B Minter baa bloom ed like a rose. / Taylor's murder has been a mys tery ever since the first policeman \rho lookhd at his body said he had died of stomgth trouble. There were a' thousand (dews; a thousand theories. Each clew was good but led nowhere. Bach theory was good—but never got beyond the theory stage. Taylor was one of the best known moving pictujy directors in Holly wood. an aristocratic distinguished looking man. He directed / Mary I’iokford, Mary Minter, Claire Wind « sor, and a host of other beautiful stars. It was said that he sold dope to moving picture people ifetbe studios and on the lots. It was said be was a bootlegger. 'lt was said that he belonged to a queer cult. It developed, after, his death, that the name Taylor was not his right name. He had been known aa Wil liam Dean Tanner in New-York. He was a dealer in antiques. He van ished 17 yearg_before his death, leav ing a wife and daughter. He said he bad been an Ayctip ex plorer, » soldier of fortune in Mexico and South America ajjd a captain in the British army during the World War. Mabel Normand wu the last per son to see him she paid for that with the ruin of her career. She had gone to his house in Alvara r<io street to return a kook of hja. He had walked to he\ auto with her, bare-headed, joshing because she was eating peanuts and lecturing her because of .the literature in her car —especially a copy of the Police Oa xette. But it might be explained thft Mabel is really a literary per son—an(P while she reads the Ga zette, he also reeds Buskin and Freud and Shakespeare , Body Found. _ > It is believed that Taylor was killed by a man, or a woman. who stole into bia house while the director was talking to Mabel. The neigh bors beard the shot. They saw a man “a man with a cap,” leaving the (rent door. And the next morning Taylor’s colored valet, Heurv Peever,' round his master's body lying on the library floor, a bullet through the side. "A i Fame love letters written by Maty Miles Minter —a few of them in cod*. as Monday, March 8, 192 both Mary and Mabel were questioned. It was recalled that Taylor’s pne known enemy was his former .friend and ex-valet, Edward F. Banda. Me had caused Bunds’ arrest. Hands is said to have entered his master's house and stolen some especially-made (cig arettes, among other things. One of these cigarettes—or rather the stub of it, was found at the base of a tele graph pole not far from the Taylor house. Just Where a man would - stand to watch the house.' Looked For Motive. They looked lot Hands, the police, V the detectives, the sheriff, the district attorney, the reporters and the other sleuths who were assigned to the case or assigned themselves. Thfy looked fpr hopfaeads, for rival dope peddlers, fer rival bootleggers, for ex-‘friends; for jealous lovers or jealous husbandx, fer eaemius out of Taylors mysteri ous past, for soldiers who had served under him during the way, for men u'jd women he had refused / to hire fqr pictures. And, the only persons affected were Mabel Normand. and Mary Winter — who were run over by every sleuth N that sleuthed. When Dirt Becomes Land.
