THEIR DOUBLE LIFE
REVEALED BY DEATH
California Couple Posed as
Brother and Sister.
REACHED RIPE OLD AGE
William Crosthwaite and EIrs. A. E.
Torrey Followed Each Other
to the Grave.

LOS ANGELES. Cal. June 6.-Death
has torn the veil of secrecy from the
lives of William Crosthwaite- and Mrs.
A +. Torrey. and revealed a story Of
double life that has startled the pious
element OF university district, and set
hundreds OF tongues wagging.
Carefully guarding their common Sc
cret, Crosthwaite and Mrs Torrey lived
together as brother and sister for six
teen years, and not until tht sod Of Hol-
lywood Cemetery had closed forever
above their earthly remains did the true
story OF their relations come to light.
Though in his eighty-fifth year. Will
liam Crosthwaite was hale and hearty
up TO his last illness, which terminated
fatally. Mrs. TOrrey died six weeks
later. aged almost seventy-four. Not
one Of their neighbors dreamed that du-
plicity marked their existence.
Mystery of Romance.
Just where and when William Cros-
thwaite and Mrs. TOrrey met and how
the romance of their lives began, may
never be told. but it is known that Cros-
thwaite was a prosperous ship builder
on the Great Lakes fifty years ago. and
that he subsequently met with severe
financial reverses- The husband Of the
woman was a captain in the civil war
who gave up his life on the battlefield.
Nearly a quarter OF a century ago
CrOsthwaite and the Widow Torrey are
said TO have come 10 California. and
rumor has il that he left a wife and
three sons in New ork. The wife is
said TO have died two years ago. The
sons are J. L.Y Crosthwaite. president
