Three unpublished typescripts of A Deed of death submitted to Alfred A. Knopf, publishers, New York, 1989, two of which bear the title The Taylor murder case with half-title A deed of death which became the published title. All copies include editorial notations. Three additional unpublished typescripts on the death of Taylor were apparently used by Giroux in his research for the book: Who killed William Desmond Taylor? by King Vidor, Who killed Bill (authorship undetermined), and one untitled work by Douglas J. Whitton. All three have notations, apparently by Giroux. These typescripts are included in the papers of Giroux located at Loyola University New Orleans.
