Steed the closing argument and for one and a half hours each the political questions were di.-cussed. After Mr. Montgomery had 1 discussed the tar iff, the national bank and the silver question at considerable length, his politial record was then taken up by Col.

Doors Having returned to his duties two weeks ago after a satisfactory re covery from a previous attack, Mr Storey went to his office ait the usual time Saturday morning and had just sat down at his desk, pre paratory to beginning his day’s work when he was stricken. He slumped over his desk, resting his head uipon his arm, anil died be fore -medical attent-oin could be sum moned. Mr. Storey, a veteran newspaper man and artist, had been in the em ploye of the Columbus Ledger and the Enquirer for a period of 35 years, coming to the Ledger in 1902 in the capacity of artist and en graver. During the intervening years ho served the Ledger in various ex ecutive capacities, including business manager, adertising manager, feature writer, editor of a Sunday magazine supplement that was a popular fea ture, and staff artist. He was made editor of the En quirer when, it was acquired by the Page corporation in- 1930, and in addition to these duties continued to serve the Ledger-Enquirer papers as artist and regularly contributed an editorial- cartoon- as a feature of the Sunday papr. He was a Canadian by birth, be ing born in- Smith Falls, Ontario, April- 11, 1872, the son of Samuel and Anne F. Storey. The family j noved to Brockville, Ontario, when ! he was n boy and he went to -school there. He attended Victoria institute, Collegiate Institute and graduated from the art department of the Me chanical and Art Institute. He later attended- the Art Institute in Chica go, and began- his newspaper career in that city with the Gray Advertis ing agency in 1893. Mh. Storey soon want to the Chi cago Record 1 and later did special syndicated art work for the Chicago Tribune and the Montreal Star dur ing a residence of two years In British Honduras. Later he went to Jacksonville, Fla., and engaged in the engraving business- there until he came to the Columbus Ledger in 1902 as artist and engraver. As a newspaper mar- he was ver satile and understanding, and- as a private citizen he was a man who was interested in children and in lihe-ir development, always serving them in any way that he could. He was also a student and quick .thinker, as well as being a man of an inventive turn. Once as a news paperman' he was sent into Alabama to anake a drawing on a private hanging. Sheriff’s officers had ex- •luded newspapermen from the ere- cution chamber, but as Mr. Storey walked up with his artist’s satchel, officials shouted, “make way for the doctor,” and he nonchalantly walked through the prison gates, saw the hanging and returned to his paper with an exclusive story. There were many oilier interesting events- in his life that he enjoyed- re counting, but of all he -was proudest of the "scoop” on the hanging, a story he brought back when no other newspaper men could get one. He was married to the former Miss Winifred Davis Bailey, daugh ter of the late W. C. and Medolia Wilkinson Bailey of Columbus on October 5, 14)94, who -survives him. He also leaves two sons, Dr. Wra. E. S-’orey of Columbus, and Frederick G. Storey, J,r., of the staff of the Atlanta Journal; two daughters, Mrs. Edwin- A. Cumiminitrs, of Miller Field, Staten Island, N.
