Disgraceful Fall of Storrs Son of Emory Storrs
New York Aug 23 Spl 1 The downfall of young Storrs son of the great lawyer Emory Storra seems complete. His arrest for stealing from a boarding house brother roomer led toward ruin. He begged pardon and was freed but has since suffered a rapid decline. He drinks heavily, lost hope, and fears death. He blames his wife and years of persecution, recalling his first marriage to Alina Le Huray after a divorce, a mad quarrel at the Madison hotel, the child stolen, and a disinherited child. His mother-in-law and family disputes followed, and divorce proceedings accelerated his deterioration.
