Tried to Kill Her at National Cap ital
This Morning.
After the Shooting of Young Woman
Barber Took His Own Life.

Washington, June THE throng Of
up Pennsylvania avenue about ten min
utes TO O'Clock this morning were
startled by the attempted murder of Miss
Dorothy i. Squires and the suicide Of
Charles Barber, patent attorney, who
had gained much notoriety of late by his
eccentric actions. Miss Squircs is still
alive, but the extent of her injury is not
known.
Barber had considerable of patent
practice, but had hsen growing more
and more eccentric for several years ana
of late many of his friends thought him
mentally unbalanced. Miss Squires for
merly worked for him as stenographer
and upon leaving his EMPLOY no annoyed
her with his attentions, threatening 60
injure her If she did not permit him to
call.
Finally the matter became so serious
that she had TO appeal to the courts for
protection, and Barber was placed under
bonds TO keep the peace. He seems not
to have desisted, however, for since then
the girl had received several threatening
letters from him, In the last OF which no
announced that he would do something
they both would regret Barber was
ago for an assault case with some sensa-
tional features arising out OF struggle
for fine dog he possessed. He came To
Washington from Plattsburg. y. v. and
was associated in a few cases with the
late Gen. B. L. Butler Of Massachusetts
Miss Squiros was shot in the back of
the head, but NJ tho. Emergency hospital,
where she was taken, IL is said that the
wound probably will not result seriously
The tragedy occurred ut the intersec-
ton OF an alley with Four ana Half
street just above Pennsylvania avenue.
Miss Squires was on her wayito the Office,
where she is employed as stenographer
and typewriter. Barber's persistent at
tentions 10 the young woman has caused
several scenes. A few weeks ago her
nrother attacked him on the street and
administered - sound thrashing. This,
however seemed To have no more effect
upon him than letters she sent him ap-
pealing to be left alone. In her final
resort TO the courts TO have the rersccu-
tion, she filed petition asking FOR an
Injunction restraining Barber from an
noying her further, reciting that his at
tentions were great annoyance, that he
refused TO heed her appeals TO be let alone
and that he threatened to ruin her char
acter unless she allowed him 60 see her.
Last week Barber went to New York
ana from Baltimore mailed her letter
in which he threatened her life. In the
communication he also said that he in
tended TO commit suicide. She turned the
letter over To her. attorney, but it is un-
derstood no further steps were taken in
the matter.
