Accountant Held In Taylor Death
Los Angeles reports a renewed probe into the William Desmond Taylor slaying ends with the arrest of Russo Rinaldo, 41, an accountant, who allegedly confessed to the crime during a motive dispute with a moving picture actress. Police doubt a quick solution amid discrepancies in the confession. Rinaldo claims he followed the actress to Taylor’s bungalow and, after overhearing a quarrel, shot Taylor in a scuffle over actions during the dispute. The case remains unsolved despite decades of leads and high-profile suspects. Rinaldo later moved to Tucson, then returned to Los Angeles, but by April 14 had left for Los Angeles after a short stay in Arizona.
