Daily Dispatch Bureau Raleigh, July II.?There was- sin cere regret but no great surprise in the offices of the governor and attorney general of North Carolina to learn of the brutal slaying in Bos ton of an aged woman by William Robert Taylor, Tar Heel Negro fugi tive. Taylor was arrested in Uosto- Sat urday charged with the murder ol Mrs. Agnes Burnett, 84-year-old. white woman of a Boston suburb. Her body was found nailed up in a closet Of her home in Roxbury. Kvidcnre as reported in news stories scents to be conclusive against Taylor. I Lack of surprise here was due to knowledge of the history of the Tay lor case. He was convicted at Guil j ford county or arntcd robbery and sentenced to a term of eight to 12 'year In state prison, in September, 1041, Early In 1944 he escaped from | a road camp, and was apprehended ! in Boston in May of that year. Ex l tradition procedings were immediate ly fc'stitutcd by this state, but not until December was the extradition ! request granted. Then the Negro 'appealed to the supreme court of Massachusetts and the National As sociation for the Advancement of Col ored People intervened. ; Carolina off;- iuls have persistently followed up the case and have been ' rebuffed at every tun\ They can , fee no explanation for the way the matter has been handled except th it Massachusetts was playing to the Ne gro vote there. Despite his proper conviction in this state and in un savory record. Massachusetts courts released Taylor on his own recogni | z; nre pending supreme court action. While thus id liberty he apparently entered Mrs. Burnett's home and killed her in the course of perpe trat ? g a robbery. (A evn;- al attache of the attorney general's office ob rcrvcfl that bo killed the wrong pcr |snn; he ought to have gotten some of the folks responsible for letting ? him run at large Instead of return | ing him to complete his proper sen tence in this state.) I This denounccmo t is likely to I make of the already famous case | a real "cause rclcbre" and opinion | of Carolina officials is that the j Massachusetts politician* who have ployed with it may find it to be a ! fatal boomerang.
