LOS ANGELES MURDER.
VISITORS ON FATAL NIGHT.
LOS ANGELES. Fob. l'
The police are keeping under surveillance a leading actress in connection with the shooting of William D. Taylor, the moving picture producer, but her name is not mentioned.
Evidence was given at the inquest by Mabel Normand, cinematograph actress, who had been at Taylor's studio shortly before he was found shot, but she did not add anything to her previous statements, which included one to the effect that she visited him on tho fatal night to borrow a book on psycho-analysis, a subject in which she is deeply interested.
Another cinematograph actress, Mary Miles Minter, and Edna Purviance, of Charlie Chaplin's studio, were with Mabel Normand when they found Taylor's body. They had also been subpoenaed as'-wit-nesses, but they and other leading cinematograph people were not called, because the police wish to pursue their investigations unhampered. The police are reported to be seeking a young New York stockbroker, who was frirtidly with cinematograph actresses. Miss Minter has denied that she and Taylor were engaged to be married. She paid him & high tribute.
