Five Gun Wounds Reveal Tragic Self Inflicted Death
Thomas Barrows of Kittery Falls, Maine, died at home after a night of bloodshed. He sustained four wounds on the left side, including a fatal shot to the face, suggesting death by own action rather than murder. Mrs Barrows contends a temporary insanity drove him to the act. Barrows, once linked to a farmer D P Cate by marriage, had a troubled history and was found left handed, with no clear motive or prior enemies. He returned from Portsmouth with little money and collapsed after entering the bedroom promptly at the scene. The murder theory faded as investigators noted the left side wounds and self-inflicted indicators.
