District Attorney Buron Fitts, of Los Angeles, admits that only one link is missing in the solution: of the erime mystery. He declined

to say whether he alluded to Taylor's valet, Edward Sands, who disappeared soon after the murder, and has since been sought by the palice.

Almost Perfect Case." "We have reconstructed the scene of the murder," he said, "apd have built up almost a per feet case.

"The story behind it is most interesting, but cannot be told yet.

"My detectives have scoured the United States in efforts to supply the single missing connexion. The police throughout the country kriow what this link is."

Ex-Governor Richardson usserts that if the sensational case was not cleared up at the time, this. was due to Mr. Asn Keyes, then district attorney of Los Angeles,

Keyes is at present in gaol, ap-| pealing against his conviction för bribery while in office.
