NORMAND TELEGRAM 1S DISCOVERED Among tho telegrams from Milas Normand to Taylor were believed to have been a number sent by the comedienne in Los Angeles, in 1919, when Taylor was “on location” In Massachusetts with one of the Fa mous Players producing units. These telegrams were mid to have been addreased to “Captain” Taytor. Taylor wag known by his military title for some time after his dis charge, with distinguished awards, from the British army, his associates here said today. The exchange of wires was said to have been an attempt to patch up a disagreement between the friends over the attentions one was bestow: ing on @ third member of the picture colony.

Police are sending broadcast circulars with a description of Sands, asking for his arrest, SLAIN MAN HAD NUMEROUS ENEMIES ‘The new theory wm that the person who desired to have Taylor slain, remembered the old emnity between the director and his former valet and used this, as weli as money, to se cure his death. Taylor in believed to have had many enemies as well as friends, in the motion picture colony. These enemies were men as well as women, and some of the enmities sprang Home Brew (Starts on Page 1) of Rainier."
