ST0RRS CASE CLOSED
DEFENDANT RELIEVED OF THE
CHARGE OF MURDER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MONROVIA, Cal, June 8.-Mrs. Albert
Dabney Storrs was discharged late yester-
day afternoon at the preliminary hearing
on the charge OF numbering her husband
Rowland. Mrs. Storrs took the stand and
for the first time in detail rehearsed the
tragedy In the foothills adjoining Lucky"
Baldwin's ranch
Mrs Storrs' testimony supplied MANY
missing details not hitherto brought out
She said in part:
My husband was In good spirits at the
dinner party at our house April 26. but be-
gan drinking, and, as usual. became fault
finding and respondent.
He threatened suicide, but as he often
did that, 1 was not frightened even when
he pressed the muzzle of his pistol to my
heart as l lay in bed doing. A few min
utes later as he reclned on his elbow I
saw him hold the pistol to his heart
"A shot brought me to my feet. So be-
wildered was l that for few minutes
did not even think of telephoning but my
senses returned to me and any wife
would 90, L screamed and ran for help aft
er telephoning to our family physician
As Loving as Cooling Doves.
Mrs. Kendall Cutler, her sister, another
oiie VI the DaDHey girls or washington,
testified that the Storrs were as loving as
cooling doves always
Judge W. NJ. Northrup in dismfssine the
case said that Mrs. Storrs would have
spared herself all this If she had told the
whole truth at the beginning, and said that
there were many mysterious features In
the case that probably would never be ex-
planned. However, he was bound by the
evidence. and he discharged her on the
states presentation of facts.
Judge Insistent About Information.
Though Mrs. Storrs' attorneys expected
her early dismissal on their plea of insuffi-
cient evidence, the court refused it, saying
there were several features concerning the
mysterious death of Rowland Storrs that in
his mind needed clearing up or he would
refer the case to the superior court Judg-
ing by the courts questioning of witnesses
at the preliminary hearing the position OF
Storrs' body on the bed when found with a
bullet wound in the breast was unnatural
for suicide.
The position of the pistol and the cover
lets also seemed unnatural for one who shot
himself. The mysterious lighting up of the
house and the extinguishing of the lights
puzzled the court, inasmuch as there was
evidence that the wife fingered ten minutes
after the tragedy before making her sensa-
tional run barefooted and in nightdress
down the street of Monrovia. The defense
combated every scrap of evidence with
rebutting circumstances.

Members Of the Nobility.

Tne members of the nobility are perfectly
aware that the parliamentary program, If
adopted. will wipe out landlordism in Rus
sla, and that the fair" price which the
program offers for their appropriated prop
erty will not save them from economic
ruin.
Therefore the mobiles are organizing in
order to make stiff fight for the preserva-
tior of their prerogatives.
While few OF them apparently read the
signs OF the times Alright and are in favor
of making the best of bad situation the
majority are stiff-necked arstocrats who
are not in favor of yielding an iota They
even hesitate to indorse the moderate gov
errment program, and have sent a message
expressing their loyalty to the emperor, in
which they did not even mention the ex-
istence of parliament
The debate on the agrarian question was
then resumed.
The ministers benches were empty.
A prominent leader Of the constitutional
democrats informed the correspondent Of
the Associated Press today that the mem
bers of his party were confident the gov
ernment would not dare to resort to ex-
treme measures, as it must know only
too well that the dissolution OF parliament
would set the country in flames.

FEELING AGAINST MINISTRY

ST. PETERSBURG, June 6.-The lower
house of parliament and the government
are rapidly coming TO close quarters, and
the conflict which became inevitable the
moment the popular assembly presented its
demands in the address to the throne can
not be much longer delayed.
The excitement in the interior is increas-
ing daily. Partial strikes have begun at
Kiefr, Odessa, Moscow and other cities and
the peasants in some provinces are no long
er restrainable and have commenced to
seize the land of the proprietors
The leaders of the constitutional demo-
Gratis in the lower house who for tactical
reasons first sought to postpone a conflict
In order to be able to choose the time and
place for the battle. realize that they must
go with the tide, and the government, which
equally sought to calmly ignore the extra
CONSTITUTIONAL demands of the house and
sent the ministers to the house with con-
cliiatory speeches, realizes that the govern
mental policy has failed.
Demands Dismissal of Cabinet.
Since the government declined to give the
house satisfaction regarding the continued
executions in the provinces, or to bring TO
book the local officials whose tyranny is
parliament has had no alternative except
the immediate insistence on its demand
for the dismissal of the cabinet.
Inc scene at yesterdays session when
the house refused to listen to the ministers
and practically drove them from the ros-
trum clearly presents the issue
The emperor must dismiss the cabinet or
iight. In yielding to the militant spirit of
tne RADICALS upon this point the constitu-
tionai democrats again soIidified the oppo-
sitlon, which was on the verge of dissen-
sions over the agrarian question-dssen-
