Police Doubt Theory in Death of Movie Director Taylor
Los Angeles police doubt the original tale of film director William Desmond Taylor’s murder on February 1. Bank clerk testimony mentions a $1000 bill time frame and a Chinese man Wong Lee, with Fields changing his story about who hired a driver and where the pistol was located. Authorities caution that key connections to drug traffic and a Chinese suspect are unclear and may be unsubstantiated.
