At 1:30 o'clock Wednes- day morning she was arrested at her home on the open charge of implicity in the death by poisoning Tuesday of Mra. Grace C. Storrs, who had just previously lunched with her at the Bon Marche tea room. She was serene and trim in @ brown tailored suit with black fur collar, and wore modish patent leather pumps. Ruth is a girl of me- dium height. and her dark hair and eyes and olive skin easily admit her into the “pretty” class. The calm manner in which she gave her stery might be attributed to poise, or simply the eager interest which any 18-year-old girl would evince for a new and exciting experience, MANNER IS FRANK When asked why she had invited Mrs. Storrs to lunch with her, she said frankty: “I Just wanted to show her that I was on the square, and tell I cannot account for I noticed she was unusually nervous during the meal, #0 nervous that | asked her if I could not do something. I see her put anything in the food, but while we were talking might have doné so.” “BIG-HEARTED GIRL” Miss Arville Blair, a chum of Ruth's at Queen Anne high school, wan greatly shocked to hear of her arrest, “Why, Ruth was the biggest-hearted girl I ever knew. 1 can't imagine her sitting there and watching Mrs. Storrs eating that poi- soned salad, if she knew anything about it.” Ruth stayed at the Blair home on Queen Anne hill while she was employed at the courthouse, from June of last year until No- vember, when she went to live at the home of her uncle, James D. Eeary, president of the Island Transportation company. Before en- tering high school, she lived with her father and mother on Camano Island, Washington TOOK PRIDE IN WORK Blair says that Ruth was as near to her Mrs. as her own hter Ruth has a loving nature and lots of grit. She went out very little while she lived at our home—much less than most girls her She took great pride in her work downtown and her par- ents seemed to have the gfeatest confidence in her. When she did fo out in the evening, it was with my daughters or boy classmates, who took her to school dances, I never heard her mention Mr, Storrs.” Miss Garrison has been in Seattle about a year. After leaving high school she wax employed in the auditor's office, and later at the Lawyers’ Information bureau in the courthouse. There she became acquainted with Storrs, own Storrs Was Deputy and Shipyard Worker Here Dudley M. Storrs—the man in the case—prior to January was employed by Sheriff Stringer as a mechanic and deputy. At the county-city building, he met Ruth Garrison, while she was employed at the attorneys’ information bureau on the third floor of the county-elty building, Just across the hall from the sheriff's office. Fellow workers say Storrs spent much of his time chatting with the young girl. They say he brought her candy and gave her a wrist watch on one occasion Storrs quit the sheriff's office after an argument over a pay increase. Then he went to the shipyards, but, in January, left Seattle and went to Okanogan, where he is said to be working as an auto mechanic He was a “rough and tumble fellow” scription of some of his acquaintances Coroner Tiffin says he has learned that Storrs was neglect: ing his wife, and was not sending her money with any regularity, Storrs’ father-in-law gave Tiffin the information that Ruth Gar- rison had been visiting Storrs at Okanogan and returned only Monday according to the de- Jugo-Slavia Is Ready to Make War Over Dalmatia BY HERBERT COREY ZAGREB, Croatia, Feb. 20,—(By |Mail.)—Ior years before the world war began, the Paris correspondents standing for dull Sun- days, ‘The American headline ar regarded it with nausea, They usufffe ly put this interest-deadening caption that a world conflict might come was set down as little short of an idiot.
