COLD BLOODED MURDER

AS bloody as is the criminal record of
Seattle no murder quite so cold blooded
and heartless was ever before committed in
Seattle, the old "white chapel'' murders
to the contrary notwithstanding as when
Ruth Garrison invited Mrs. Storrs to lun-
cheon last Tuesday and put in enough poi
son in her food to kill twenty men, and
the young woman dying from the effects
of the poison in fifteen minutes after hav-
ing eaten the same. And this cold bloOded
murder was committed because Ruth Gar
rison loved Mrs. Storrs' husband and had
been consorting with him, though only
eighteen years of age. How deep Storrs
himself is mixed up in this revolving mur-
der remains to be seen, but, if he is as
guilty as we think he is, then Ruth Garri-
son and Dudley M Storrs should both be
hanged until dead. That he wilfully be-
trayed Ruth Garrison seems an established
fact and once betrayed it seems he plead
being married was the only thing that pre-
vented him from making Ruth his wife
and then it was she set about to remove
the preventing cause. There are no extenu-
ating circumstances however in her favor
and ignominious death should be her por-
tion and, we repeat, if Storrs is as guilty
as the attending circumstances seem to in
dicate then he is more guilty than Ruth
and hanging is too good for him. Leading
young girls astray and then deserting them
is Of too common occurrence in and about
Seattle and such should receive a violent
setback But few days ago the story of
an eighteen year old girl who had come
to Seattle to take course in business
college was related to us. She was invited
out by young lieutenant of the U. S.
Army, so goes the story, and after seeing
the sights she accompanied him to his
room and stayed all night with him. The
lieutenant left the next day for New York
and she did not even know his name nor
his Identification. In the course of time
the young woman discovered she would
soon become a mother and she was almost
insane from shame and disgrace. She is
now at one Of the "homes" that make a
speciality of caring for such pitiable cases
and her seducer has forgotten that he ever
met such a parsonage. The man ripe in
years and experience who ruins a girl yet
in her teens, is criminal wretch and death
should be his portion. AS we write this
it is rumored on the streets that Storrs is
a fugitive from justice, if he is we truly
hope that he will be captured and made to
face the music just as will Ruth Garrison
have to do and if guilty we hope his pun
ishment can in some way be doubly severe
to that administered to the girl and hang
ing should be her punishment.
