the biaycr tired froia a retiming pewi

ben tho shot, was fired.
Mam Sia-nted at Dr.
ilisa Normand was tho only one of
a number of motion-picture actora
and actressen sTibpenaed who was
cailed to the stand. Mrs. Douglas
Maclean, one of those who told of
hearing the shot, was at the Inquest,
but was cot called to the stand. A
detective, however, testified that Mrs.
Maclean told him that after she heard
the shot ahe went to her door and
looked across a court and saw a man
standing at Taylor's door.
The detective named two others,who.
he said, told him they heard a shot.
Coroner Nance aked iiim if they gave
any explanation uhy they made ni
Investigation at the time. He replied
that they said they thought the sound
might have been made by an explod
ing tire.
There were no women's tears at the
Inquest which determined that Tay
lor came to his death at the hands of
an assassin. The only aoba wvre con
tributed by Henry Peavey. negro valet
and cook, who walled aloud when he
entered the Inquest room.
Among the first to arrive were Mr.
and Mrs. Douglas Maclean, who had
heard the shot. Mrs. Maclean had seen
the slayer leave the house a minute
after the shooting, but neither ahe nor
her husband was called. Edna Pur
viante ana others had been subpenaed
but did not testify.
Kyton Telia of Find.
Taylor's body was covered with a
satin Vall. save for the head, -the
head of an ascetic, with thin wide
lips. thin, aristocratic nose. high
cheekbones and gray hair. .
Cnarles Kyton, western manager for
the Lasky studios, was the first wit
ness. He told of finding th body. He
said he had talked to Mr. Maclean and
they had supposed death was due to
natural causes. However, It was sug
gested that they search for a bullet
wound.
"We opened his vest, the deputy
coroner and J." he testified. "Then we
aaw the blood and from that located
the wound."
Miss Normand was dressed in a
dashing fashion, with mannish-looking
green velours and o: her head
a wide-brimmed fodora. She had on a
brown checked sport coat furred at
collar and cuffs, a black skirt and a
cream lace waist. Her hands were In
white gloves and she held a lavender
ilk handkerchief in one of them.
Her voice was low and calm. She
displayed no nervousness, Jshe gave
the Jury about the same story she had
previously Riven newspaper men, but
in lesser detail.
"Did Mr. Taylor ro to your car
with you when you left?" she was
asked.
Valet Tell. 1 1 ix Story.
"Tea. he took me "to the car and
tood talking with me a few minutes
and said he would call me by tele
phone in about an hour. He watched
while 1 drove away and I waved my
hand to him."
"Old he call you up?"
".N"o. 1 went home and went right
to bed. Mv maid never wakes me,
anyway, once 1 have retired."
And then it was Peavey's turn.
He had been Mr. Taylor's valet and
cook for about six months. He had
been in the house when Miss Nor
mand arrived. Sobs interfered some
what with 1'eaveys testimony. He
knelt on the floor by the bier first
and aobbed aloud, and his wails
were frequent during the entire
hearln?.
"I saw them sitting on two chairs
facing each other In the living
room.' he testified. "They were talk
ing about a rei-cvered book which
tLcv were handling. 1 went out alter
locking the back door. The front
door has a spring lock. I talked to
Miss Normand's chauffeur a minute,
then went on."
"When did you next see Mr. Tay
lor y
"About 7:30 the next morning.
That was my usual time for coming
to the house. I had with me a bottle
cf milk of magnesia. Mr. Taylor used
to drink that every morning. I
Dicked up the newspaper, unlocked
the door and went in.
Servant Breaks llona.
"What did you see?"
I saw Mr. Taylor s feet. And then
I called 'Mr. Taylor" and he didn't
av nothing, and 1 walked in and I
aw his head."
At this point the young man again
broke down. He could not go on for
some time. His mourning sounded so
much like a guffaw tliat many smiled,
but there were te.irs in Peavey's
eves.
"1 went out and yelled that 'Mr.
Savior was dead."
"Had anything been changed?"
"Nothing, except that the chair was
overturned. The iints were on and
the back door was locked, the win
dows down and locked. Nothing was

After the inquest there was more
press agent strategy. Back doors
were opened, .gates held ajar. The
big limousine was backed into an
ai.ey, behind an Ice truck. Mabel,
surrounded by various and sundry
publicity experts, managers, legal
representatives and other friendly in
fantry, appeared in a small door at
the back of the undertaking estab

supporters dashed madly toward a
little gate, down three steps and into
the alley.

Larceny Charge: Recalled.
He had boen sought for several
months on a grand laxcony charge
made by Taylor, who alleged Sands
stole some f boa effect and dia
appeared. Investigatcra said they
had the word of a witness they be
lleved unimpeachable that Sands waa
in this city last Tuesday.
The detectives said the statement
of Sands would be an "important ele
ment" in the case if he had one to
make in the interest of narrowing
the scope of the investigation.
The investigation today, it was
stated, was devoted largely to the
subject of motive. The police have
from the beginning been of the opln
ion that Taylor waa slain for revenge.
but it was admitted that up to late
today it had not been determined that
anyone entertained animosity tor
Taylor in such a degree that would
appear to be an incentive to murder,
Tiie possibility that Jealousy might
have been the cause of the slaying
was still receiving attention, it waa
declared.
The discovery that Taylor had once

by the police with much interest and
It was stated that this might prove

Inspection of tho Taylor residence
was completed today by a corps of
finger-print experts, who announced
they had found no impressions or
other clews.
The bullet, which was taken from
Taylor's body, was produced at the
Inquest and returned to detectives
who were endeavoring to learn its
history. The missile was found prac
tically intact and retained its original
shape, due. County Autopsy Surgeon
Wagner said, to its not having struck
a bone during its passage through
Taylor's body.
The bullet was declared to be of
unusual type, a distinguishing feature
being a groove around its circumfer

Pacific Corporation Takes Steps
to Develop Immense Holdings
Bought From Government.
NEWPORT. Or.. Feb. 4. (Special.)
The Pacific Spruce corporation,
with Its engineering crew, has begun
the reconstruction of the railroad be
tween South Beach and Waldport. Or.,
and will extend the lines into the
timber holdings between Waldport
and. Y'achats. At this end one mile of
the road will be constructed on piling.
The present piling built by the United
States spruce corporation has dete
riorated to the extent that it will be
necessary to reboild all that part of
the railroad that is extended out into
the deep ' water channel, about one
mile in length.
A switch extending from the pres
ent main line down to the boat land
ing will be constructed first, in order
to land, a steam shovel on -South
beach to be used in cleaning up the
slides along the road and to lower the
high points on the grades. It is esti
mated that it will take three months
to do the work outlined at this time,
employing 30 or 40 men, most of
whom will be living in and near
Newport. It is desired by the corn
pan that news Items not be used to
mislead the working men of the coun
try to rush into this county expecting'
work, as plenty of men seem to be on
hand at this time to supply all the
demands for labor.
The development of the milling In
dustry in this county is one of the
big undertakings in Oregon and will
take time and millions of dollars be- 1
fore any returns will be realized. The
Pacific Spruce corporation is not mak
ing any promises to anyone, but has
begun the construction of roads and
the placing of machinery that will
run many years before it will cut up
the timber it owns. When their tim
ber is gone, Lincoln county will have
15,000,000,000 feet of fir and spruce
left. If no other mill locates here.
Test Oil Well Projected.
OAKLAND, Or.; Feb. 4. (Special.)
A large rotary drill to be used in
putting down a test oil well Just
south of this city arrived today. An
87-foot tubular steel derrick is al
ready in position on the site and
concrete foundations are ready for
the engines and machinery, which
will be placed as soon as possible.
R. O. Francois, who is associated
with E. B. Latham of Los Angeles,
w'll be in charge of the work.
Street Extension Costs $830.
The proposed extension of Prince
ton street, from the easterly line of
Mohawk street to the westerly line
of Tvler street, was estimaed by City
Engineer Laurgaard to cost $830, and
is to be paid for by an assessment
district. The city council will hear
any objections filed at its session on
February 15, when the report of the
city engineer will be up for final
action.
