! Kills Wife and Babes,
Then Ends Own Life
Brooklyn Man, Out Of Work
Tries to Destroy Family;
Two Children Escape

Richard Barrett, Of $50 Grant Ave-
nue., Brooklyn, settled the problem OF
how he was to support wife and four
children when he had no job, yesterday
morning. He used a S2calibre revolt
yer and a razor, killed his wife and two
children. and after slashing his throat
sent bullet through his own brain.
He returned Wednesday night from
the Engineers Club in Manhattan ap-
parently in good spirits. AT yester-
Gay morning he rose and shot his wife,
Mary, through the head. kilton, his
four-year-old son, lay in crib near by.
Barrett shot him and then turned the
pistol upon Donald, the baby.
He then walked into the parlor and
cut his throat with razor. In another
room, Helen, thirteen, and John, nine,
had been asleep. The girl was awak-
ened by the shots and ran out into the
hall to see what was the matter.
She found her father crouchlng in
the parlor, his pajsmas stained with
blood. At her cry, he rose. and, grip
ping his revolver, came toward her.
! She fed toward the rear of the apart
ment, and the man was too weak TO
follow. He then shot himself through
| the head.

New Piper Clew
May Cause Second
Arrest for Crime
Mysterious Telephone Tip
Alleged to Have Been Sup
pressed by Prosecutor

New light thrown on the murder OF
John V. Piper, the Rutgers College
student, in New Brunswick. n. j.,
yesterday tended to involve a person
other than DR.. W. J. Condor, who is
now under arrest, charged with Piper's
death.
This new phase has to do with a
mysterious telephone tip alleged to
have been received by Prosecutor j.
Z. Stricken and suppressed because "it
might bring dishonor on somebody"
That Somebody" is said not to be DR.
Condor, although the authorities re.
fuse TO disclose the name.
Saw Men on Roof
While it has not been definitely de.
termined where the body was kept
from the time Piper disappeared last
February until it was found last
Saturday in a meadow at Spotswood
several witnesses were found who
said they saw the Condor automobile
near Spotswood on the afternoon OF
the day before the body was found. but
they could not say WnetHeT III. toH-
don himself was there.
Other persons recalled having seen
two men on the Condor roof handling
q bulky package about three or four
days after Piper's disappearance and
while Boy Scouts were still beating the
neighboring woods for him. Detectives
who searched the roof, however, found
no evidence of anything there, although
some advanced the theory that the body
might have been kept under the caves
or in the attic.
William Dunn and John Jones. sex
tons at the Livingston Avenue Baptist
Church, who took care of the Condor
furnace after Piper left. denied that
they ever had seen body in the cellar.
Dunn admitted there was a compart-
ment in the cellar, however, which was
always kept closed, although he couldn't
say whether it was locked or not. DR..
Condor often came into the cellar, he
said, and watched him at his work, but
never appeared to be nervous.
No Dealer Served Ice
The belief that the doctor had kept
the body on ice was spiked when a
round Of all the ice dealers in New
Brunswick revealed that none had sup
piled the Condor home during the win
ter months.

Blood Stains Convince
Police Girl Was Slain
In Cocch?s Woshroon,

II Alfredo Cocchi has consigned to
the cellar soil of Manhattan any bodies
other than that Of Ruth Cruger, il will
not be the fault Of Police Lieutenant
Thomas L. O'Brien if they are not dis
covered.
O'Brien, who is an authority on foun-
dation and building construction, and
is in charge of the Bureau of Supplies
and Repairs Of the Police Department,
started yesterday digging up the cell
lars Of every place Cocchi had occupied
previous TO his disappearance from SAP
West l27th Street, where the body of
Ruth Cruger was found.
Lieutenant O'Brien is fifty-seven
years old. He has been in the build
ing business since he was fourteen,
and knows the strata of every inch Of
Manhattan. According TO the detectives
who were with him yesterday, there is
nothing below the Cocchi cellars that
can escape the eye of O'Brien.
Inspector Joseph A. Faurot went up
to the Cocchi shop, at 542 West l27th
Street, yesterday and found the place
crowded with prospective bidders at an
auction of the contents of the place
When the material was disposed of
Faurot and his men made photographs
and drawings of the entire one-story
shop and then turned the job of ex-
cavation over TO Lieutenant O'Brien.
In the centre OF the floor, on level
with the sidewalk. was not air graf
ing about Is by Is inches. which was
fed by an S-inch pipe that led from the
furnace in the rear of the building.
This was carefully examined, and IL was
shown that the pipe had recently been
removed and restored. The shaft lead
ing 20 the pipe was protected by three
coverings Of sheet steel. the inner one
being smeared with what appeared 20
be blood. This was removed and taken
to Police Headquarters for examination
By a chemist.
This discovery strengthened the be-
lief that the dead girl was murdered
in the Mushroom on the main floor and
her body dropped through the hot air
aperture in the middle OF the shop.
Lieutenant O'Brien spent the day be-
tween the Cocchi shop in 10Th Street
and the cellar Of the bird and animal
store of K. Donker. of 227 West Eighty
third Street, which was formerly occu-
pied by the missing Italian.
Lieutenant Patrick II. Gildea was in
charge of the work at the latter place.
This cellar" he said. "is about So
by 25 feet. There is an extension back
of the building. built by Cocchi. which
is about 20 by 20 feet. Our invcstiga-
tion will include an excavation of the
floor of this building, if Lieutenant
O'Brien orders il. We dug ap IN area
Of 81 square feet in the main cellar
to-day. going down about ~ inches.
At this depth we found that the soil
had never been disturbed. and We de-
cided to 20 no deeper. No evidence
was found"

Red Cross Dividends Declared
Among the big Red Cross dividends
announced during the day were the
following: The Central Electric COM
pany, S1,000,000; the metropolitan
Trust Company, $4,000; the Liberty
National Bank, $4,000; the Inspiration
Consolidated Copper Company, s3O:OOo;
the Montana Power Company, Sol,oOV'
The Arizona Commercial Mining
COMPANY. the United DYE Wood Corpo-
ration the National Lead Company and
the Anaconda Copper Mining Company
declared dividends of Sl,l65,0 900; the
Mldlll upper Company ~"-fvp'f ~
Kern Lake Mining Company, $4,000,
and the Baldwin Tube Company, $4,000.
The directors of the City Service Com
pany voted to create a fund of $250,0O0
for the Red Cross.
Mr.. Prosser said the reason why all
the special dividends already declared
have not been reported in the total for
the Red Cross fund was that there was
10 way of telling right off whether all
the stockholders would consent to give
their share to the Red Crcss.
However, we are not worried over
the donation of the dividend allot-
ments." said Mr.. Prosser "If the di-
rectors of corporations are patriotic
enough to vote special Red Cross divi-
dends. the chances are that the stock
holders will be patriotic enough to de-
vote the funds TO this purpose"
