Manley Earl Tiffany, the Former Chauffeur

Manley "Earl" Tiffany was the former chauffeur of William D. Taylor. Tiffany and Taylor parted ways in August of 1921 after Taylor's trip to Europe (Tiffany either was fired or quit) possibly due to a connection between Tiffany and Henry F. Sands. Tiffany testified in the Taylor case on 17 Feb 1922, just a week before Tiffany died of pneumonia.

1 March 1922: (AP) Los Angeles. . . "While officers declared the day's developments were encouraging, they suffered one misfortune in the report of the death two days ago from pneumonia of Earl Tiffany, former chauffeur to Taylor, and declared to have been of the upmost importance as a source of information concerning Edward F. Sands, missing former butler-secretary to the film director." Sheboygan Press
