Joliet Man Kills Girl and Self

Robert McRoberts, hotel owner and Mabel Kerwin, former employee, found dead

By the Associated Press

Joliet, Ill., May 8 - Robert McRoberts, a wealthy hotel owner, shot and killed 
Miss Mabel Kerwin, formerly his secretary, and then killed himself today.

A few weeks ago Miss Kerwin resigned after six years in Mr. McRoberts's 
employ. Since that time, according to her mother, McRoberts has called scores 
of times asking her to return. She had refused to have anything to do with him.
This morning he again came to the Kerwin apartment, but Miss Kerwin refused to 
speak to him in the hall or let him come into her home. However, she agreed to 
go downstairs to the lobby with him.

They had hardly reached the ground floor when neighbors heard two shots. They 
found the two dying on the floor. McRoberts dying and the girl dead.
McRoberts was married and had a ten-year-old son.
