STORRS SUGGESTS HE
MARRY WIFf'S SLAYER

OkANOGAN, Wash., June with
Ruth Garrison on the witness stand
recalled as a witness for the defense.
Douglas storrs, on trial here for Sc
duction today formally offered to
marry his wife's slayer as a bar to
his further prosecution. The offer
was made by Attorney Smith. and was
a complete surprise, throwing the
crowded court rooT1 into a fervor of
excitement
From her chair on the witness stand
Ruth sat with bowed head and tremD-
ling hands. Storrs also sat with down
cast eyes and If anything his face
grew whittier. In making the offer
Smith said: :" In the presence of jur-
ors who might find themselves in this
unfortunate position. Douglas Storrs
now offers to marry this girl and do il
now. And l respectfully request that
tins presiding judge at this trial per-
form the ceremony here, now
The prosecuting attorneys bitterly
denounced the move. objecting to the
ceremony now or any time on the
grounds that Ruth is mentally incom-
petent, pointing to the fact that the
girl was recently acquitted of the
charge of numbering Mrs. Storrs, on
the grounds of insanity.
Special Prosecutor Hilen said: This
offer Of the counsel for the defense is
only mere byplay for the benefit OF
the jury 1t is more than that, it is
Prosecuting Attorney Gresham said. I
The defense will wait until all the I
states evidence is before the jury and
then see that the penitentiary gates |
swing open wide to receive Storrs. |
They come forward at the eleventh |
hour to seek an avenue of escape. /
This unfortunate girl who sits on the !
witness stand may want to marry this |
defendant but she shall not
Attorney Smith cited numerous I
court decisions to uphold his conten-
lion that an offer of marriage to a
girl under q years of age by the man
accused of having seduced her is a
car to his further prosecution.
