Taylor made a complete confession to Douglas day, admitting more than 20 burglaries since September. * ££ * i, SMR * * # By S. B. Groff : [RELLOWING his arrest early Tuesday, John E. Taylor, step-son of Burt C. Campbell, president of the Puget Sound Timber Co, and head of the Washington’ State Log- gers’ association, confessed to the police that he is the burglar who single-handed, has looted nearly a dozen © fraternity houses at the University of Washington, includ- ing his-own, the Delta Tau Delta. ss From a small beginning, when he was forced for funds while a student at the university, Taylor told Chief of Police Severyns how he had gone farther and farther be- — cause of the “kick” he got out of it, until his loot had run into thousands of dollars. Taylor has not been in school this quarter. F Taylor, who is 21, and who once was a reporter of a — Seattle afternson newspaper, told a thrilling tale of mid- night burglaries. Material evidence worth a large sum of money was found by the police in Taylor’s room at the New Richmond hotel, and is being held as evidence against him. “I had had trouble with my step-father,” Taylor said. “T robbed my own fraternity house, the Delta Tau Delta, first. I was broke and didn’t want to appeal to my father — for aid. Then I became conscience-stricken and returned all the stuff to the house officer. He made it right with the members.” Rb. Taylor's arrest was made by Patrolmen J. J. Kush and © H. C. McLennan, who were returning from another burglary ~ alarm when they saw the youth sitting on the curb at Eastlake and Martin, waiting for a taxi. He looked sus- picious to them and they stopped to “shake him down.” The officers found six gold watches and some fountain pens on him, and quizzed him as to where he had obtained them. Taylor finally admitted that he had stolen them, it is alleged, and took them to his room at the hotel, where the officers found four suitcases full of loot and other stuff in great profusion, such as overcoats, a saxaphone, watches and jewelry. Taylor Tells How He Started; — Got Big Kick Out of the Job The* full story of Taylor's depredations was told to ~ Severyns. “T got started at my own frat house,” the boy said. “TI 7 needed money. Then the thrill of the thing got me. I got © a hell of a kick out of it. I had more marrow squeaks. I © was in the Psi Upsilon house one night. I had just entered and four students came in, + hee “My overcoat and shoes were on the floor. I jumped under a table and they turned on the light. ae “They examined my coat and shoes and wondered who had left them. 1 was on my hands and knees under the table. One of the men brushed against me, he was- so close. He nearly stepped on my fingers. I held my breath until they had gone. ¢ “Again, I was trapped in a frat house, I forget which one, when one of the men I was robbing awoke. I laid down and he went to sleep again. Several times I was caught in tight places, but managed to pe thru the greatest of good luck. It was excitemenf life, to me”? — “What do you think of these gray steel bars?” asked Chief Severyns. “Do you get much of a thrill out of this?
