Lus AM.KI.KS. calif., Feb. 13. Mary Miles Minter, motion jdcture act riss, issued a statement here today through her attorneys, declaring that she had told invi sligators "all that she kiie,v" of the life of William Desmond Ta.v lor, motion picture director, slain mysteriously U' day.s ago. It said l,e could not conceive how any person could v ohinlai ii.v w rong Taylor. l.OS ANtil.LKs, Feb. l.t. Investi gation by the district attorney's office J into the William Desmond Taylor murder m.v-stei.v will pro,e,d today, although it ! is a legal holiday, according to a sfate ; meat made shortly after midnight by , Thomas l..s- Woolwine, district attorney. He said he was uncertain what form , the inquiry would take, but thought it unlikely h, would summon to his offices any motion ieturc stars cr others. Ho i thought it more probable, he stated, that the detective. would investigate any a vailable leads, and that witnesses would be .summoned for questioning by him I hen after only when the preliminary work of the olliee indicated some discovery of , more than i:sual importance. Tliis latter course vvuuhl place the de tectives of the police department again ; on their theory that the finding of K(l ; ward F. Sands, i!iisfiing former butler seer, tare of Ta.v lor, was essential to tho I solution of the enigma, and those of the sheriff's 1 tliee 011 their diametrically op posed contention that Sands hail nothing to do with the' slaying. Sliort.y before this partial diselosuro f the fu'ure procedure uf his office in ! the investigation, Mr. Wool wine had is- I I a .statement condemning "faked and fradulent interviews" on tho easo ; and decla ring t here was " grave and seri- oiw doubt at the present tjtne as to whether the murder will ever be appre hended." While the police detectives and the aherifi 's deputes have not acknowledged defeat they admit the case is oue of tho most bewildering ever to come to their attention. Eleven days have passed sinco the discovery of the director ' body and the officers assigned to the mystery have worked with less than their ordinary deep and under unusual pressure in I racking down w hat emed like tangiblo elms mid in investigating almost in- 1 nuiner.lble "tills. Mr. Wodvvii.c's statement in jiart is as follows : I "In the early edition of The Examiner j for Monday morning there appeared on the first purge thereof an interview pur porting t come from me which Was never in effect given. "The following quotation from tho ' false interview was never uttered by me: " ' Now when my idlice should bo di , reeling all ils energies) in its prosecution of Mrs. Madalynue Obenchain in her ; trial before Judge Kidney X.

"The following laiiKuajre purported to have bciit uttered by nie is out of whole cloth and is viciously false: "If tin- minds of the jurors who fust tried Fatty Arbuckle and Arthur C.

' "The foiio-.ving lauguage is also mad out of whole clot a, never havinjf been uttered or thought of by me: " ' Nevi ithehss, I will ferret out th criminal who-killed Taylor. Nothing vviil stop the district attorney's olliee from getting ui the truth ami bringing , ti) the surface the facts which led to the murder of the noted film director.' ' The f.u-t, are. that the duty of ferret ing en! .Mid apprehending the perpetra tor of this deed rests with the poiiee de partment and I am only counselling with : n I advising them.

"I intend to give my best endeavors ia uiiiselliig with the officers, but I would it in the present condition of the invet- igaiii.n haz.ard the statement that I or my one else will ue able to solv thn mystery. "It is t rtaiuly an outrage for any newspnptr to be guilty of such a faked and fraudulent interview.
