Winter Hoped to Wed Director; Mother in Way Movie Star Tells of Love for William Desmond Taylor —Never Really En gaged to Him . (Continued From Page One.) note reading: "Dear William Des mond Taylor: This Is goodbye. I want you to know that 1 will always love you. Mary." Then, her story goes on, "he put his arms about me and kissed me. 'I love you, Mary, better than any thing in this world; better than God’," he answered, she declared. During the same meeting, she add ed, Taylor clenched his hands so tightly his fingernails brought blood through th'e skin. He wiped away the Mood on a handkerchief. Later she took that handkerchief and gave hers to Taylor. "He kissed it and slowly walked back into the house,” she wrote, after putting her into her automobile. "That was the Inst time I ever saw him alone," she went on. Her story proceeds to the morning her mother told her the news that Tailor had been murdered. "Where were you last night?" she asked. “ T was here, of course,’ I said, hardly realizing what she was say ing.” Then Miss Minter dressed and hci mother asked where she was going. "To him of course.” “I shall not let you." Threatens Mother. "I am going to him if I have tp thfottle you to get past,” Miss Minter jpnted she told her mother, and the latter stepped aside. But she arrived at Taylor's apartments too late—the body had been removed to an under taker's establishment. So she called on Miss Normand, who said she knew nothing of the slaying, except what she had been told, the narrative added. “The next day I went to the under takers, and they let me in all alone with him,” she wrote. "I pulled back the sheet and looked at him. But he was not the same. His skin was waxen. 1 leaned down and put my arms about him, my cheek to his. His face was cold, so cold, but not a cold like ice. "’Do you Jove me, Desmond?’ I said. "He answered me. I could hear his voice. “ ’I love you, Mary, I shall love you always,’ he whispered. “I kissed him and put a red rose In his hand from some I had brought with me. The door opened. The un dertaker was there. I went away." By International News Service.
