V. Storey, the young student who
Thursday afternoon was shot by Allco
Poehler, the woman he had promised
to marry, died yesterday at the City
Hospital, where both were taken fol?
lowing the shooting at the Ilradon
Hotel, physicians said that the young
Woman is suffering extreme pain and.
though conscious, her recovery Is aj
mailer oi doubt.
Surgeons were unsuccessful tn lu- I
eating the bullet which the young wo- '
man tired into her body, and which
Was thought to have lodged In the
abdominal cavity. Likewise the bullet
which entered .Storey's breast near the
I heart was not located,
j .Mis- Poehler continued to manifest
her love for Storey and Inquired many
times of her nurse whether he would
j recover. She wept and moaned when
she learned of his death.
Relatives of both arrived yesterday.
Miss Poehler'a father. Mr. Sipes, of
Guthrie. Ind.. was at her beside
throughout the day.
The young woman admitted t* her
father that she shot Storev and then
herself.
"I did it In a lit of madness." she
said.
Mr. Sipes says his daughter left
home several years; ago. going to a
i canning factory to work. After the
i cunning season, he says, she appeared
j to have formed associations that made
: her desire to remain away from home,
i she came to Indianapolis and had been
j here since. Her parents believed she
i was employed.
According to the woman's stnte
inetit lo her father. Storey. after
promising to marry her, repented and
Informed her they must part. He re?
turned letters she had written to him.
These are now in the possession of
th?? police.
Earl .Storey, a brother, and relatives
from Columbus were at the hospital.
Storey, according to the relatives, con?
fessed his relations with the l'oehlcr
woman, and expressed regret for the
trouble, It is said he assigned no
other reason for the shooting thun his
declaration that he was going to leave
her.
It has developed that while Storey
was employed by the Packard Auto?
mobile Company, In Detroit, last sum?
mer, the couple lived as man and
wife. Storey's constant lament before
his death was that the newspapers
would rtllri his social position at home
by publishing the tragedy;
According to Horatio Powell, a
classmate from Illinois University,
who cam.; here to so<- hi- . hum. Storey,
who was a itophomorc, left just before
th^ Christmas holidays. He had been
taking a course In mechanical en?
gineering, according to Powell, nnd
Was well lilted.
He frequently traveled to Indian?
apolis, hut, It Is said, came back un?
happy.
When shown the picture of the wo?

she had visited Store.'.- at Champaign
