The police are conducting r. rigid search ror Uu xjaurder -of-- William 1. Taylor, motion picture director. Few clues are admitted, although they de clare they .will make ttn arrest be fore nightfall. It is now believed a womun was involved with jealousy as her motive. Whether a womun actually stole Into Taylor's apartment and shot him from behind, as ho sat at his desk, or whether a lover or relative of the woman did the shooting, is one of the unsolved angles of the mysteri ous murder. Mabel Normand was the last per son known to have been with the screen director. Despite all theories regarding shooting for love and jealousy, the police admitted they we 10 no nearer a solution than two minutes uftcr Taylor's body was dis covered. Cigaitttc fSlpbs round. 1.08 ANGELES, Feb. 3 (A. P.) Half a dozen cigarette stubs near the back door of William Desmond Taylor's residence offered a clue to the murderer of the motion picture director and indicated that someone apparently nervously waited there the evening of the murder. Mrs. Douglas MacLean, wife of the actor, living next door, said she saw a stranger emerge from Taylor's house, close the door ,and depart. Employes at an oil service station nearby said the stranger Inquired where Taylor lived. The street car crew said a man of the same de- 'scrtption boarded the car about the time Mrs. MacLean saw him. A de scription of this man 'does not tally with a former servant whom Taylor had reported to the police who nd stolen money and property from him. Women Cry for Vengeance. HOLLYWOOD, Pal., Feb. . (U. T.) Mary Miles Minter and Mabel Normand, regarded as two close wo men friends ot William D. Taylor, the murdered director, both cried out for vengeance toduy against his slay er. Miss Minter tearfully denied she had been engaged to Taylor and wept hysterically as she dilated upon his qualities as a man and director. Miss Normand, the last person known to be with Taylor, said she had stop ped by his house for a book and that he hud accompanied her to her car. She then went home, had sup per and went to bed, and had not heard of fne tragedy until Edna Pur viance, Charlie Chaplin's leading woman, telephoned her of it. Both women denied knowledge of ' Taylor's having been married and having a daughter in school in the east. Miss Normand said she had heard the report, but that Taylor had never discussed his private affairs with her, there being no necessity for his doing so. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3. U. P.) Detectives are reported to be seek ing a young New York broker, -whose identity is a secret, to question him regarding the Taylor killing. It is reported in prominent movie society that he is a friend of a prominent movie actress. II is not intimated just what the broker's connection with the shooting will be. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3. U.
