'STOREYM MONTGOMERY
MAN WHOSE DAUGHTER TRIED
 sUICIDE IN PENSACOLA.
He Has Been in AIabamn Three Weeks and Denies Terrible Reports
 PuhIfshed About Him. Few Refugees.

Stuart Storey. father of Miss Annie Storey, who has twice attempted sui eide at their home in Pensacola on ac- count of compromisfng relations With some man whose name Is a mystery 10 the police of that city, appeared yes terday at police headquarters in Mont gomery and inquired of the desk ser geant if he was wanted for any oitense against the law.
 Storey has been chased bysspecial of- ficers of the Alabama quarantine since Monday. Supervisor W. R. Brasseil or the Montgomery circuit, was very much gratified to get positive evidence that the man wanted on suspicion oS violat- ing the quarantine laws has not been in Pensacola since August 1.
 The police sergeant. struck with the ingenious attitude of Storey, told him that so far as the Montgomery police | knew he was not hunted for any crime. | Rumors have been afioat In Pensacola, 1t will be remembered. that Storey had been accused of complictty In the l wretched downfall of his daughter. He himself. right after the first attempt | of the young woman to kill herself. had given 1t out that his daughter had been abandoned by her wayward husband | and this was what cast her into de5ec- | tion. Soon after this he left Pensaco- | la for parts unknown to those of short | acquaintance with the young woman in that city.
 Monday afternoon Ed Bedsole, a | white carpenter, turned up in the office of pr. w H. Sanders, State Health ofii- cer, and gave the information that Storey, very much wanted in Pensacola for a nameless crime. had beaten his way into Alabama on a passenger train. For nothing else than for violating the quarantine. Bedsole volunteered to assist in capturing Storey. Dr. Sanders said if the man had been in Pensacola in the last seven days he would like to get hold of him and hurry him out of the State. He thought that the capture of Storey would be possible, as he was charged with being fugitive from tus- tice and the officers of the law could be called upon to make the arrest.
 Plans for the capture of Storey were arranged with John Oliver, a special agent of the Alabama quarantine, to go with Bedsole to Crenshaw county in pursuit of Storey. singulariy enough at the same moment Storey was just quitting work for the day in a carpen- ter job in the city limits of Moutgom- cry. Special officer Oliver and Bedsoie are still in Crenshaw County, in the vicinity of Lapine, 1t Is believed, hunt- ing for traces of the alleged fugitive,
 There Is no warrant for Storey and the Montgomery police as well as Sher~ if W. R. Waller have not interested themselves in the case. The State Health Board, through Dr. Sanders, is resting easy on proof that the carpenter thought to have been a fugitive has not seen the precincts of Pensacola since August 1. He will be let alone by Supervisor Brassell and the othep guar antine officers for there are half dozen witnesses at the Kyle House on North Perry Street, where Storey boards who testify that he has not been in Pensa- cola for several weeks
 Quarantine Supervisor Brassell yes. terday telegraphed the police of Pen sacola to know if Storey was wanted as was reported and official advice came back that no warrant had been sworn out for him.
 Storey, it is believed, read reports in the Pensacola papers, that he was connected with the ruin of his own daughter aad forthwith went to police headquarters here and offered himself for arrest if he was wanted. This con- conduct, 1t is believed. will give the hidden affairs of the unfortunate wo- man in Pensacola new turn as far as the public mind is concerned there.
 Storey told last night of the affec- donate correspondence he has been con ducting with his daughter since he came to Montgomery. He said that he left Pensacola in August in order to get better employment and earn more mon- ey for her support. He has lived in a number of towns in Alabama and his native place is near Lapine.
