Bu,Times Special* ROCKPORT, Ind., Dec. s.—John Doffer, 40, and his wife, Dissie, 35, are dead today, victims of a murder and suicide. Apparently becoming suddenly insane, Doffer shot his wife and then himself at their home here Sunday morning. Four children from 3 to 12 years of age witnessed the slaying of their mother. For two hours Doffer remained barricaded in the house with the body of his wife, firing at officers, who tried to enter. His resistance ended when he fired six shots into his body. According to the children, the tragedy was the climax of an argument which began when Doffer said he would not go with the rest of the family to spend the day at the home of his wife’s mother.
