She first came to the attention of authorities when two Chicago police, detectives investigated reports, that she was drawing wel; fare aid under a variety o( names white owning three cars' and four South Side buildings, and planning a Hawaiian vacation. Miss 'Taylor's Isaiah W. Gant, has told the court that his client was the "fall guy" for bad management by the Department of Public Aid.
