R. Barnett was found dead in his bed about five o'clock Tuesday evening, by his daughter, Mrs. John Hull. His wife, an invalid, was huddled in a corner of the room in her night clothes, suffering from cold, evidently having been without a fire in the house all day. Mr. Barnett appeared to have died peacefully in his sleep. At six o'clock Tuesday morning Mrs. LaCrone saw a light in the house. She had noticed the place was dark before retiring, indicating that Mr. Barnett had turned on the light during the night.
