Love and Liquor Caused Death. A. W. Barrett, former secretary of the United States legation at Caracas, Venezuela, and brother of former Congressman Con-gressman W. E. Barrett of Massachusetts, Massachu-setts, committed suicide in Washington, Washing-ton, Monday, shooting himself through the heart.. In a letter which he left the suicide laid his misfortunes primarily pri-marily to liquor and to his infatuation for a married woman older than himself, him-self, on whom he spent al his money. His wife left him last August, and since then he had gone to the dogs rapidly.
