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.

Famous quotes containing the words employment and/or taylor:
“The boatmen appeared to lead an easy and contented life, and we thought that we should prefer their employment ourselves to many professions which are much more sought after. They suggested how few circumstances are necessary to the well-being and serenity of man, how indifferent all employments are, and that any may seem noble and poetic to the eyes of men, if pursued with sufficient buoyancy and freedom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He holds him with his glittering eye—
The Wedding Guest stood still,
And listens like a three years’ child:
The Mariner hath his will.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
