FRENCH BANK AT
THE DALLES SHUT
Noted Los Angeles
Lawyer Drops Dead
Los Angeles. Cal.. Feb. 21. (I. N. S.)
Apparently stricken with heart trouble
shortly after he awakened and while
preparing to dress, Earl Rogers, for
years one of the most noted criminal
lawyers in the West, was found dead at
noon today in his room at a hotel on
North' Broadway.
The Dalles. Feb. 23. The bank of
French & Co.. one of the oldest in the
state east of the mountains, was closed
today. The closing came as a great sur
prise to everyone in The Dalles as the
French bank has been considered one of
the most conservative institutions in
Eastern Oregon.
Alarm was considerably allayed, how
ever, by a statement from the stat? bank.
examiner saying the bank is in perfectly
sound condition and probably will re
open in a few days upon reorganization.
The bank had a capital stock of $200,
000 and J50.000 surplus. E. H. French
was president, P. M. French vice presi
dent. V. H. French secretary and J. C.
Hostetler cashier. The bank was or
ganized in its present form In 1S08. It
was first established in 1862.'
Los Angeles. Cal.. Feb. 23. Cor
roborating the so-called, "confession"
of Harry X. Fields, alias "Harry the
Chink," in Detroit, that he was a mem
ber of a drug peddling gang that killed
William Desmond Taylor, slain film di
rector, for revenge. It was learned today
that months ago Taylor annealed to fed
eral officers in Los Angeles to help himi
"thwart the dope ring" and save fromj
its clutches the woman he is said to
have loved, who was an addict.
The discovery that Taylor instigated
a secret investigation by federal offi
cers of traffic in drugs at a certain mo
tion, picture studio for the purpose of
exposing the "dope" peddlers who were
victimizing the woman was concrete evi
dence to substantiate the theory oft slay,
ing as disclosed by Fields.
PLOT OF DOPE BI5G ,
Fields' story to Detroit officers was
that the drug ring plotted to kill Taylor
because Taylor, to save the wotnA, en
listed the aid of federal authorities. He
said he was paid $900 for driving the
automobile used by Taylor s slayer and
that he fled from Los Angeles on the
night of the murder.
, The mystery may be cleared up before
another " day. Working on information
provided by Fields, deputy sheriffs to
day were following- four well defined
clues to the murder.j They are : .
1 i The. murder gtm, said by Fields to
be buried at a designated spot.
2 A 11000 note which the murderer
changed at a Los Angles banlc, accord'
ing to Fields,
. 3 A machine In which Fields says he
drove the slayer to and from Taylor's
house at Westlake-Terrace court.
: 4 A . dope den where plans for the
"movie murder" were hatched, accord
big to Fields.
POLICE HATE CONFESSIONS
So, far investigators have not uncov
ered any material evidence to support
Fields'.' amazing story of , the murder,
but It has been received with enough
faith to warrant the concentration of
every activity ' in the , entire investiga
tion upon this new angle.
According to the man under arrest in
Detroit, Taylor was the victjm of a
dope ring.
Pieced out with answers to questions
wired to Detroit by Sheriff Traeger, the
"confession" of Taylor's murder is now"
in the hands of Los Angeles authorities
in its entirety.
Fields story is as follows :
"Taylor had declared war on the dope
peddlers in the movie studios. He had
administered a beating, and used the toe
of his boot on a certain "doper" who
had been supplying with drugs a motion
