Six arrested in Hollywood drug probe linked to Taylor death
In Los Angeles six drug peddlers were arrested amid the Taylor murder inquiry. Det Sgt Herman Cline said the arrests could solve the death of film director William Desmond Taylor, based on statements by Mrs. John Ruppe who said she staffed the men. A witness called Frenchy George testified before DA Thomas Lee Woalwine. Investigators plan another interview with Mabel Normand as tensions rise. Earl Tiffany, Taylor chauffeur, died of pneumonia two days earlier, a setback in obtaining details about Edward Sands.
