With Mother
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 Mary
Miles M Inter," motion picture act-
resa, tonight gave to the Los An
geles Times what she termed "the
first statement that I have ever'
given - out under : my own name!:
regarding her relations with Wil
liam Desmond Taylor, slain : mo
tion picture director, and : differ
ences which have arisen between
her and her mother, Mrs. Char
lotte Shelby.
"William Desmond Taylor came
into my life when I was 17 years
of age. He was the first man
to call me 'Miss Minter.'f : '
How do you do. Miss Mlnter,'
he said to me when first we were
introduced' and then he smiled
Always before I had been called
Mary and treated like a child.
Marriage Only Dream
"We never were engaged in the
sense that ne naa assiea me to
marry him. and I had promised. I
had always; hoped that some, time
we would be married.- But we
were not engaged in the, sense of
wearing a ring and' telling one's
friends of an intention to marry
or. of telling my mother. Marry
ing Mr. Taylor was just my dream
a dream, which voiced . to nlm
always, met with, the answer that
it' was impossible. . 7 -1
"Finally he told meI must not
write him any more and must not
call him up; that he would tele
phone me. I waited ft week, two
weeks, three weeks and he did not
call. I swallowed my humiliation
and called him. His butler an
swered and told me he was ill.
For five days he did not eat, and
during It all I suffered more than
can express.7
i Taylor Showed Emotion
Finally, without word from
Taylor,' Miss Minter went alone
to his home, carrying with her a
note which said: vi
?'Dear William! Desmond Tay
lor: This; is good-bye. I want
you to know that I wit; j always
love you. Mary.' - I !
The result of this visit, she re
lates, was ' a passionate scene, tjf
which the 'director put his armS
about her and kissed her, saying:
KI love you Mary,' better - than
anything in this world; more than
God.. Swept by emotion in the
course of this interview, Taylor
clenched his fingers so tightly
that hm nails drew blood, which
he wiped from his palms with a
silk handkerchief. This hand
kerchief. Miss Mlnter says, she
retained as a keepsake.
"That was the last time I ever
saw him- alone," she continues, I
Several weeks later Taylor was
found-dead on the floor of his
home, shot to death. -:
Could Not See Body ' . ; :
Failing in her attempts to view
the. body of her lover immediate
ly. After, she learned of .the slay

to the house of -Mabel Normand,
rushed into the rooms where the
screen actress was ; dressing,
grasped her by the shoulders and
demanded: '
"What do you know about itt
: "Nothing," Miss t Normand r re
plied. ; "Not a thing but what
they have told me." Uy 1 . " i
-And I believed her, and still
