ury 23rd, in the Fresno Cafe, on
Sixth avenue No., which Taylor
operates, He was indicted for mur
der in the second degree after the
county attorney's office investigat
ed the shooting.
Witnesses in statements to the
police said Peterson, know in tho
neighb olbood as a troublesome
character, grew angry when Tay
lor who is badly crippled with rheu
matism, remonstrated with him f°r
breaking beer glasses.
Peterson followed Taylor slowly
amund ihe room, according to wit
nesses, in a threatening manner.
When Taylor ordered Peterson to
leave him alone and stop followin
him, Peterson persisted and he was
shot in the chest by Taylor. The
restuarant proprietor told police

Taylor, as far as could be as
certained, has never been In the

that he could not have defended
himself in quarrel with any per
son was the reason for the belief
that he would be freed.
