Mrs. StOTy's Numerous Friends
Greatly shocked.
Mrs. Storey was we'll known in Olympia,
where she was admired for her accomplish
-ments and loved for her rare qualities of
character. The news of her tragic death
fell like pail unon the hearts of her nu-
merous friends in the capital city They
could scarcely believe the truth of the
statement that she had been cruelty muir
dered. Mrs. Storey was a frequent visitor
to Olympia. She has been the honored
guest of more than one family and has fire.
quently contributed to the enjoyment of
others upon public occasions by her accom-
plishments as a singer. She sang at st.
Johns church on several occasions, and
has appeared at different public entertain
ments. She has been an intimate friend of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Roberts for number
of years. Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Storey
were particular friends, and Mrs. Roberts
was terribly shocked when the awful news
was broken TO her by Professor Roberts.
The news of Mrs. Storey's death was the
only topic of conversation in social circles
today. Expressions of sorrow were heard
on all sides. Mrs. Storey was a lady of
charming manners, good breeding and a
favOrite in society, where her musical at
tainments made her brilliant She had
blonde hair, fair complexion and a very
aristocratic bearing, and was marked for
her good taste in dressing, and often gave
receptions and musicales of pronounced
eclat. Her voice was a fine soprano of
some merit. Last year she spent several
months in London, England, studying
vocal culture and Shakespeare. She was
divorced from George ]. N. Storey in 1890
and has since supported herself and child
rem by teaching vocal music and renting
part Of her house to rOOmers. She made
her appearance in Seattle about FIVE years
ago, hailing from Montreal. She became
known as a daughter of Rev. j. q. John
son, of Toronto, Canada, and by her talent,
beButy and tact she soon won her way into
the foremost social circles of Seattle She
was "a years old and had three children

Her divorced husband is the system traffic
agent of the Southern Pacific railroad
with headquarters at San Francisco.
Two years ago Mrs. Storey was an in
mate of st. Peters hospital. She remained
there about a month and greatly endeared
herself to the sisters of that worthy in
stitution. Arrangements had been made
for her to sing at the fair to be given by
the sisters at Columbia hall next week.
She was expected to arrive within a few
days to assist in making preparations for
that event.
Moulton is known in Olympia, but not
.
Geo. Scanned sold some real estate for
him, but further than that knows nothing
about the man. E. S. Hamlin, of the pipe
factory, knows considerable about Moul-
toms antecedehts, but could not be found
when sought by a TRIBUNE reporter for an
interview. 1t is known, however that he
was 38 years old and a real estate dealer of
considerable property. He came to Seattle
two years ago from San Francisco. He
was of medium built, ivefeet eleven inches
in height, and had slender limbs. He was
of sandy complexion and wore a heavy
sandy mustache He Is said to have close
ly resembled James Hamilton Lewis.
His infatuation for Mrs. Storey was
known to but few people in Olympia. On
one occasion he followed her her here and
was well received by the family with whom
Mrs. Storey was stopping. Aside from this
one occurrence there was little to lead Mrs
StOrey's Olympia friends to realize that she
was being pursued by a crack-brained and
undesirable suitOr.
