Abraham Goldman of Chicago sail
to be the former’s father-in-law. pur-
chased the controlling interest in the
local institution last January. Tay-
lor was installed as president a short
time later.
Taylor also was interested in the
Niagara Life Insurance Company of
Buffalo. N. Y. as a director. Mar-
cino was said to have purchased con-
trol of this concern a year ago. It
is now in the hands of the state in-
surance department.
When Taylor took office the War-
ren bank cashier was dismissed and
a short time later Marcino rented a
safety deposit box adjoining that in
which the bank’s securities were kept.
Detectives say that Marcino in some
manner ns yet unexplained was giv-
en a key to the bank’s strong box.

REMINGTONA
BOOTLEGGER
WIFE ADMITS
Quarrel About Rum Prices
Probably Caused His
Murder.
HIS STILLS LOCATED
Booze and Names of 200
Patrons Are Found
by Police.
Los Angeles Feb. 22—Federal pro-
■ bibition agents today joined jioliee in
the search for the slayers of Earle
Remington electrical engineer shot
down in his own door yard a week
ago tonight.
Their entry came after a declara-
tion by the police that the widow.
Mrs. \ irginin I»hi Stone Remington
had told them the dead man was a
"society” bootlegger and after the
police had found questioned and tern
pornrily released a man who admitted
• having operated three stills for the
engineer.
The police nlso said they had lo-
। rated a large quantity of liquor said
to have been in Remington's posses-
sion but the chief interest of the
federal officials was believed to rest
in the police statement that one of
■ Remington's notebooks. containing
200 names and records of sales had
come into their possession.'
' Sold to Select Clientele.
It was said that although the
liquor in question was distilled by an
amateur it was sold to a select dien-
; tele including persons high in busi-
ness and society circles of Los An-
geles.
' The police questioned several men
1 whose names ap]>eared in the Rem-
ington note book and stated they ob-
! tamed admissions of purchasing
liquor from the engineer. The of-
ficers look nearly 1110 gallons of hoot-
leg whiskey from the basement of the
Remington residence and declared

they bn 1 been told by the men who
admitted having operated stills for
the slain man that one of them with
a capacity of 75 gallons had been
installed first in tne basement of
Remington's business office here and
later moved to bis ranch near Chino
40 miles cast of Los Angeles.
According to the still operator the
last of the bootleg liquor in stock
was made last December.
Remington was said to have some
bunded whiskey in his possession and
an angle of the investigation was an
effort to learn whether he had had
any direct dealings with rum runners
operating out of Canadian and Mex-
ican ports.
Search for other persons believed
to have been with the il-
licit liquor activities credited to Rem-
ington led the detectives to revive
their earlier theory—once discarded—-
that he was a victim of a bootleggers''
war either because he cut the price
they said or because he bought a
large quantity of smuggled bonded
liquor and ' paid” for it with a check
upon which payment could not be
made.
Strange Visitors Seen.
Mrs. Remington was said to have
told the jiolice of frequent visits to
their home by strange men who made
bargains for the sale and purchase of
liquor with her husband and of how
his whiskey-making made the home
smell so strong of alcohol that she
was forced to give up social activities.
"Earle had a terrible quarrel over the
telephone with somebody—l suppose
a man—two nights before the trag-
edy.” she was quoted.
"I so loathed his part in the liquor
traffic that I tried to avoid hearing
the conversation but some of it was
forced upon my ears. It was an
argument over the price. I heard
Earle threaten the person with whom
he was talking and no doubt the
other person threatened Earle.
"While Earle and I started to drift
apart more than three years ago. the
last six months of our life together
was the hardest for me. It has been
a horrible nightmare since he first
made this house the resting place of
liquor.”
Mrs. Remington was too ill yester-
day to attend her husband's funeral.
