Employment By Taylor
Prior to working for William Desmond Taylor, Peavy was employed by the wife of director Christy Cabanne. Peavy was hired by Taylor after he dismissed his previous butler, Edward F. Sands, for forging his signature of checks.
Three days before Taylor's murder, Peavey had been arrested for "social vagrancy" and charged with being "lewd and dissolute". On the day following Taylor's murder on February 1, 1922, Taylor was scheduled to appear in court on Peavey's behalf.
