Memery of the nttnek brought tears
te the eyes of Mrs. Alsop,
"He seized me around the neck and
tried te cheke me." she said. "I
screamed ns I fought him with nil my
strength. My screams were heard by
men lu the neighborhood. This man
here is the one who attacked me."

by Detroit Police Chief Miss

By the Associated Press
Ies Angeles, Oil., Feb. 24. Mis)
Mabel Nennnnd, motion picture actress,
Is seriously 111 with influenza at her
temporary retreat in Altadena, Her
condition hns been such that fears bare
been entertained for her recovery, bnt
she is said te I c Improving tedny. and;
physicians new hope that she will r-l
cover.
Miss Nennnnd. who was the las,
friend of William Desmond Tayler,!
motion picture director, te sec the let
again nt tne runernl
Miss Nermnnd's parents arrived from
their eastern home a few days age and
joined her. She has been denying her
self te all callers in the hope, it wan,
explnined, thnt quiet nnd seclusion
would hasten her return te health.
Deeply nffected by the mysterious
sheeting of the director, the film come
dienne left her Les Angeles apartment
shortly after she was questioned by the
District Attorney as te any clue sh
might be nble te give te nid in the
solution of the crime. Then, secluded
in the foothill residence where Rhe today
lies in a serious condition, Miss Ner-
mand suffered n nervous collapse, ac
cording te her physician, the result of
continued depression ever the traiedy
in which she had played one of tk
leading roles.
Engagement Rumer Denied
At one time it was reported MIm
Nerninnd nnd Tayler were engaged.
But the actress stendfastlv has denied
that there was ever any 'affair of thu
heart between her nnd the slain director,
maintaining they were merely "the best
of friends.' '
Mibs Nennnnd visited the directen
early in the evening of February 1. Shi
went te his apartments te borrow sl
book from him, she said. While there,
she stated, she chatted with Tayler for'
a few minutes nnd then the director
escorted her te her ear and waved good geed
by te her ns her limousine sped down
the street. Tayler then returned te hU
apartments, where the next morning bin
body wns found by Henry Peavey, his
houseman.
Miss Normand's story of her last
visit te Tayler's apartments was cor
roborated by her chauffeur, William
Davis.
Although Miss Normand's physician
refused te be quoted ether than as say
ing that Miss Nennnnd wes 'Serious
ly ill with influenza," friends of the
actress were said te have declared that
for a period of twelve hours yesterday
she suffered partial less of the use of
her muscles. This report, however,
could net be confirmed, today.
Newspaper Men Nel Admitted
It became known this raerninj that
Miss Nennnnd wns taken 111 with in-.
Influenza lnt Monday, the day en which
she was te have started filming scenejt
en her latest screen vehicle. Vlsitern
or press represcntntlves have net been
permitted te see the actress since she
secluded herself In the Altadena home.
Grewing disbelief in the story of the
Tayler murder, un related in Detreit:
; within the last three days by Harry M.
