Tay i.lor, is iii the county j;iil today m;<i ; Iiis wife in the detention home. I The warrant was sworn out by Buel I Shipman "i Woodsiue, brother of the idead man; who stoutly <!?-ni?-<i that his brother was ever at any tim? rguilty of a statutory offense, with j which Taylor charged him. Buel | Shipman told officers that he ha: : learned from a reliable source iii:.' [threats had been made against his [brother's life previous to the rinding j of his rfeless body hanging to a ! "tow cedar tree in the rea r of Tay ! lor's home. I Shipman's body was found in that situation early Wednesday morning, [and it at first appeared that be had I hanged himself. An olficial investi rgation was started, which developed Ithe fact, admitted by b<>th, thai Tay ilor and bis wife bad had trouble with Shipman on the day preceding [the tragedy.

Officers advance the theory that (Shipman could not have tied the rope j to the cedar tree lb.jn from which he was hanged, because his left arm j was paralyzed and was of no serv ice him. They also say that othej j branches were within a very few I inches of the body as it hung from ithe tree and that a man in a death [struggle would have reached out and ihelped himself by these means.
