Onawa. la.. Jan. 2.—A quintuple murder was imcovered herfe tonight with the discovery of the bodies of the victims and the skyer, William Barnes, farm hand, who committed suicide, Barnes, wth a diotpjun, blazed his •way through the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Johnson, picking off his victims, one by one. The last killed was Johnson's baby granddaughter, slaughtered as she lay in her crib. The other -vic/ims were Johnson and his wife. James, their 12 year old son, and Mrs. Alice Jones, their daughter and mother of the baby.
Edwin Johnson, brother of Wilbur, entering the Johnson home late today, stumblecl across the body of Barnes, who had blown his own head off after concluding his murderous foray. In the next room lay the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. John. In the doorway lay the boy. evidently shot down, as he attempted es¬ cape. Mrs, Jones and the baby were found in a bedroom, where they had retired.
The crime, it is believed, wa^ committed Friday evening.
Barnes apparently entered the house quietly and acted swiftly.
With the exception of the hoy, no one seemed to have attempted
escape.    Unrequitted love for Mrs. Jones, a divorcee, is believed
to have caused Barnes' deed.
