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 witnesses, 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 friendly with cinematograph actresses. Mus Minter has denied that she and Taylor were engaged to be married. She paid him a high tribute.
