"I thought ir. 'Jayier must liaic

The man turned away, walked te the
deer and almost disappeared inside. 11
seemed as if he were bidding lil'i host
adieu. He closed the deer. He did net
slam it, nor yet did he close It with
unusual softness.
"Then he walked across the perch
and turned toward me.
"I drew back within the house. And
as I was closing the deer iaw the
man turn into n walk eewcen the

t Mr. MncLcan until the next morning
when the ferrlblp scrcanm of Mi.
Tayler's servant awakened us.
"Then I remembered the man.'
Kept Weman's Night Rebo
The story of Henry Peavey, his col
ored houseman, that Tayler hnd kept In
his apartments n woman's pink silk
night robe, which has been missing
since Tayler was slain, was supported
by Karl Tiffany, formerly n chauffeur
rer 'lay ler.
Tiffany was said te have told the po
lice that Edward V. Sands. Tayler's
former butler; told him of hew the but
ler had spied upon Tayler and thus hnd
found in his apartments a large number
of silken underwent" unknown in n
man's wardrobe.
According te Tiffany's statement te
the police, Sands said his curiosity
was aroused, se lie folded the garments
in a "trick" manner, nnd noting the
way they were folded the next day, lie
enine convinced the director did net
keep them In his apartment for senti
mental reasons.
Funeral Sen Ices Tomorrow
Tayler's body, dressed In the uniform
of a nrltish officer he were In (he
World War. wa viewed jcstcrdny by
many friends nnd ethers nt an under
taking establishment, where it will He

St. Paul's Episcopal Pre-Cuthedrnl.
Many flowers were sent there, tee,
te nwait transfer after the services te
the cemetery vault, where the body wHI
be held until the arrival of the di
rector's daughter, Ethel Daisy Tayler,
who. has been In school nt Mamtiie-
neck, X. 1 .
.T.ester Wing, a Chinese, former
chauffeur for Tayler, said jestcrday the
director once told him: "I never really
loved but one woman. She was my
stnge partner. I was engaged te her.
Hut she died befure ws could be mar
ried and I'll never marry another
woman.''
The only woman whom Tayler called
upon often during Wing's service with
him was Neva Gcrber, tilm nelres, who
said here Friday she nnd Tn.i ler once
had bret engaged te be married. Put
whileVic and Miss tierber were together
two or three times a week, according
te Wing. Tayler pabsed most of his

DAUGHTER FIRST SAW
FATHER ON SCREEN
New Yerk. Teh. f) (p,y A. P.)
Ethel Daisy Denne-Tanner. nineteen-year-old
daughter of William Desmond
Tayler, slain motion-picture director,
first learned his Identity when his
Ininge was Hashed en the screen of n
New oferk playhouse, nnd her mother,
nn wns wiin ner, exclaimed:
"That is lour fnlliep."
This was rcwalcd Inst nlghc in the
course of Itncstigntlens by. the New
Virk authorities, who nre delving deep
into (he still henvlly veiled past of the
pivtiiromuKer in the hone of lurnlntr nn
enni'iuT en ms mysterious death.
Miss Dcune-Tanner, who Is n student
In the New Yerk Scheel of Applied De
sign, recognizing the resemblance he he
tween the shadow tiicture nnil photo
graphs In the possession of her mother,
new Mrs. E. L. C. Heblns. of Mn Mn
mnreneek. wrote te Tayler in care of
the motion-picture company, thus be
ginning it correspondence tlmt continued
up te the time of the tragedy.
Seme time after "the correspondence
began, she said last night. Tayler came
East and called en her. In a conversa
tion. at that time, she declared Tayler
premised te make .her his heir.
Frank Schrcnkeisen, a lawyer, of
New Hochelle. who has been retained
te leek after the young woman's inter
ests in the Tayler estate, said that no
communications had passed between
Miss Denne-Tnnner nnd the Les Angeles
umherillcs since her father's death.

Dctpltp the public statements of" Sen

ing, authoritative word was received
from Pittsburgh today by close friend-
(hat, ns n matter of fact, he Is far fre'm
teceverlng.
Consequently, even the closest friends
of Senater Crew arc quietly talking of
lefusing te back liln for the full term
te succeed the late Senater Knox. They
t-ay it would net be fnlr te Senater
Crew nor le the State.
Hence, the politicians are already
talking of the possibility of slating Jehn
A. Hell, millionaire banker of Pitts
burgh and friend of Mayer Magce, for
the senatorial nomination. In that case
there probably would be ether candi
dates. It Is significant that a boom has
been started for former Governer Tcner,
who. while Governer, was regarded as
an oily of the Oliver wing of the Alle
gheny County, organisatien.
Delay Uniting en Governer
It is believed that the "inside" in
formation which the leaders have of the
real condition of Senater Crew has led
te the decision te delay an nttemptcd
agreement en n candidate for Gover Gover
eor for ntiether thirty days. Fer if
Senater Crew is net tp be n candidate
new deals will have te be discussed.
Fer example. Mayer Magce is basing
all his political plnns en the possibility
of w Inning the Senatershlp for his friend
Mr. Bell. The Pittsburgh Mayer, there
fore, it Is said, would join in a guber
natorial agreement only if it would work
te the advantage of Mr. Bell's candi
dacy. In making such an arrangement
Mayer Magce has publicly announced
he would tnlk things ever with Senater
Vnre.
In such circumstances It is possible,
said politicians, that Yare would push
mere vigorously the gutiernnterlnl can-

crime nominations, this league put up

received showed that if the Democratic
