HUSBAND BURIED;
WIFE LOCKED UP
NEWEST DEVELOPMENTS IN
M0NRovIA'S MYSTERY
Despite Jury's Verdict of Accidental
Death, the Sheriff's Deputies Are
investigating Storrs' Sudden
Death

At the hour Rowland Storrs was
Masonic honors, his wife, Alberta Dab
ney Storrs, was under arrest in connec.
tion with the alleged murder of her
husband.
Storrs was shot through the heart at
his home in Monrovia Thursday night
A coroner's jury brought in a verdict
of accidental death the following day
But suspicious circumstances surround
ing the death of the young man led to
an investigation by Sheriff White.
AS the result of the Information OBJ
tained, the sheriff arrested Mrs. Storrs
late Saturday afternoon and took the
young woman to the county Jail in the
evening.
The arrest was made at La Grande
Vista hotel, Monrovia, at 5 O'Clock.
Deputy Sheriff Bert H. Franklin es-
corted Mrs Storrs to the car. She was
accompanied by her sister, Mrs. e. Ken
dali Cutter, who won sensational
suit brought by her husband some time
ago.
Frank James, attorney for the two
sisters, met them at the car and went
with the party to the county jail.
Sheriff White and his deputies secured
e. mass Of evidence that was not
brought out at the inquest.
Find 6Iood-Stained Garment
1t was claimed that woman's blood
stained night robe was found at the
house.
They discovered several witnesses
who claimed to know about the affair.
John Thomas, a night watchman,
told the officer that on the night of the
shooting Mrs. Storrs' arms and
shoulders showed the marks of blows.
1t was claimed that the hyster1cal
woman made several damaging state
ments shortly after the body of her
husband was found in bed.
Among the bits of circumstantial
evidence that point to murder rather
than suicide is the physical impossi-
bility for a person to have shot himself
in the way that Storrs was wounded.
Deputy Sheriff Bert Franklin expert
mented with a similar weapon and sald
that he could not pull the trigger while
living in the position that Storrs evil
IDENTIFY occupied. The officer used an
unloaded Smith & Wesson hammerless,
32-oaliber.
Could Not BE Suicide
"I crossed my feet as his were found,
nut the revolver to my heart and tried
in vain to pull the trigger" said Frank
lin Yesterday 1.-THE revolver had two
safety catches, one on the handle grip
and the other on the trigger I believe
that it was impossible for Storrs to
have shot himself"
Monrovia people believe most en-
phatically that Rowland Storrs was
murdered.
Storrs had been drinking during the
evening and is said to have bitterly re-
preached his wife for certain reasons.
Sheriff White says that the affair will
be thoroughly investigated.
Mrs Storrs will be detained in the
county Jail until further investigations
are made.
Storrs was the son of distinguished
English clergyman and was known as
a remittance man.
He married the beautiful Alberta
Dabney about five months ago and 1t
is said that the marriage was unhappy.

The housing committee reported to-
day that it's work had been almost
completed, the applications for accom-

this committee has been lessened by
tents to other parts Of the state.
Religious services were held in the
open air in many of the saved districts
today, and in churches that were pro-
nounced safe for immediate use throngs
gathered to listen to the sermons of the

Park Concerts Resumed
Probably the most significant in

officials to bring about a restoration of
the old order of things and of the dis
position of the people to speedily for
get the recent disaster was the resump-
tion Of the Sunday afternoon concerts
in Golden Gate park.
These concerts have always been a
Sunday feature" in San Francisco,
and in addition to the excellent pro-
gram given in the big park volunteer
band discoursed music for a short time

There were some extensions in the
electric car service on the streets and
the people in the remote suburbs will
tomorrow be afforded quick transporta-
tion with the water front and points in
the burned district where they will be
obliged to labor.
Municipal Treasury Intact
The city officials were highly elated
today upon finding the contents Of the
municipal treasury intact. The vaults
were located in a section of the city
hall that escaped the fire, and when an
expert opened the doors this morning
he found gold silver and securities
scattered over the floor, but there was
nothing missing.
The vault contained $500, 900 in coir
and currency; 100000 in securities OF
the German Savings bank and $12,000,-
COO of unsold city bonds.
Z Shipping is beginning to resume Its
normal course. There were a number OF
departures of steamers today and sew

body. His sufferings were untold and con
slant misery, in fact, there was nothing
we would not have done to have given him
relief. We finally procured full set of

fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura
