The Buffalo [NY] Express, Oct 8, 1891

Morris, Ill., Oct 7. - W. L. Barnett shot and killed his wife at the home of 
her mother, at Mazon, on Monday. Barnett is employed by an electrical concern 
in Chicago. His wife came to visit her mother a week ago, and Barnett came 
down from Chicago yesterday. He went immediately to his wife and shot her 
twice, killing her instantly. He then attempted to kill himself by firing two 
shots into his body, but failed, and after having set fire to the house, he 
walked to a pond and tried to drown himself, but did not succeed. The cause of 
the deed is not known, but it is said Barnett's wife deserted him.
