[0:04] Massacre in Atlanta. The sounds of

[0:07] terror.

[0:07] >> 911. We've got an emergency in Pont

[0:10] Center. Oh, there's a lady that's down.

[0:12] There's an ambulance.

[0:14] >> A confession from the grave.

[0:16] >> I don't plan to live very much longer.

[0:19] Just long enough to kill as many of the

[0:23] people that greedily sought my

[0:25] destruction.

[0:26] >> And the pain of victim's families.

[0:28] something unexpressable. I mean, it's

[0:31] not going to be the same.

[0:36] >> This is the CBS Evening News with Dan

[0:41] Rather.

[0:42] Good evening. Dan is off tonight. I'm

[0:44] John Roberts. Disturbing new insights

[0:46] tonight into the mind of a killer, Mark

[0:49] Barton, the man responsible for the

[0:51] bloody massacre in Atlanta. Letters

[0:53] Barton left behind seem to contain

[0:55] cryptic clues to the demons that pushed

[0:58] him over the edge. We begin our coverage

[1:00] tonight with CBS's Byron Pitts in

[1:02] Atlanta, where the shock of the murders

[1:04] is giving way to anguish tonight.

[1:08] Today, the office buildings were

[1:09] reopened. Atlanta police provided

[1:12] security. Well-wishers left flowers, but

[1:14] survivors say any sense of safety was

[1:17] shattered yesterday at 2:56 p.m.

[1:22] This wasn't simply mayhem. This was a

[1:25] massacre.

[1:26] >> We received a call at 2:56 p.m.

[1:30] >> We got an emergency at 8 months later.

[1:32] There's a lady that's down.

[1:34] >> 10 minutes later, nine people were dead,

[1:37] 12 injured.

[1:38] >> We don't know anybody. I mean, we know,

[1:39] but we don't know. And one man, one man

[1:42] with two guns, a deep grudge, and a

[1:44] death wish was missing.

[1:46] >> As we got halfway across the street,

[1:48] they said, "There he is. He's got a

[1:49] gun."

[1:50] >> Police say 44 year old Mark Orin Barton

[1:52] had a 9 mm, a 45, and a bag full of

[1:55] bullets. According to witnesses, Barton

[1:58] strolled into one brokerage firm where

[2:00] he had been a day trader and killed four

[2:02] people, all at point blank range. From

[2:05] there, he crossed the street, entered a

[2:07] second brokerage house, and killed five

[2:09] more times. Employees, customers, anyone

[2:12] in his path.

[2:13] >> Um, there's two or three that were dead

[2:15] on that side of the room, and the

[2:17] majority had various gunshot wounds to

[2:19] the chest, the abdomen, to the back.

[2:21] >> Paramedics say there were lives they

[2:22] couldn't save, promises they couldn't

[2:25] keep.

[2:25] >> She was shot in the face, and she's, it

[2:27] would appear to be blind, and she just

[2:30] kept referring or asking the question,

[2:32] is she going to be blind? And that

[2:34] sticks with me.

[2:35] >> What could you tell her?

[2:36] >> I could tell she's alive. That's the

[2:38] best I could offer.

[2:40] >> Here in the heart of Atlanta's financial

[2:42] district, Barton's rage may have seemed

[2:44] random. But south of the city, police

[2:46] found evidence his rampage was planned.

[2:49] Dead in this apartment, his aranged wife

[2:51] and their two children, ages 8 and 11.

[2:54] His wife had been dead since Tuesday.

[2:56] The kids killed a day later. Barton laid

[2:59] it all out in this letter left near the

[3:01] bodies. I hit them with a hammer

[3:04] in their sleep

[3:07] and then put them face down in the

[3:10] bathtub

[3:12] to make sure they did not wake up in

[3:15] pain. Burton apologized for killing his

[3:18] family. But as for the victims downtown,

[3:20] he said they were killed in anger. The

[3:23] motive was revenge. I don't plan to live

[3:26] very much longer,

[3:28] just long enough to kill as many of the

[3:31] people that greedily sought my

[3:34] destruction.

[3:35] >> 12 hours after he wrote that note,

[3:37] police tracked him down, and Mark Orin

[3:40] Barton kept his word.

[3:43] >> Friends say Barton was a quiet man, but

[3:45] he'll be remembered here as the

[3:46] deadliest mass murderer in state

[3:49] history. John

[3:50] >> Byron Pittz in Atlanta. Thanks. The

[3:53] Atlanta police say one of the two guns

[3:55] Barton was carrying is registered to him

[3:57] and was purchased from a dealer. The

[3:59] other is registered to someone in Texas.

[4:01] And it's unclear how Barton acquired it.

[4:04] In his letters, Barton said he had come

[4:06] to hate this life. But as CBS's Morin

[4:09] Maher reports, people who knew him had a

[4:11] much different perception.

[4:13] On a treeine street in a southern

[4:15] Atlanta suburb, 44y old Mark Barton

[4:18] spent the better part of the last decade

[4:20] living the perfect life with the family

[4:21] he has now confessed to killing.

[4:23] >> And these two are the most recent

[4:25] pictures that we have when they play.

[4:27] Both of the kids play soccer.

[4:29] >> Ta Bryant was Barton's next door

[4:30] neighbor and knew the family perhaps

[4:32] better than most. Her son Melvin used to

[4:34] babysit for Matthew and Michelle.

[4:36] >> They pay a lot of attention to his kids.

[4:38] >> He played with them a lot. Friends paint

[4:40] a poetic picture of a man, a scout

[4:42] leader who loved his children, was

[4:44] deeply involved with their lives, and

[4:46] was always first to say hello.

[4:48] >> A real friendly guy, always smiling,

[4:50] always saying something funny, some cra,

[4:53] you know, crazy joke. He was always

[4:54] joking all the time.

[4:56] >> But Barton's life appears to have been

[4:57] full of conflicting images. While living

[5:00] a seemingly ideal suburban life, his

[5:02] farewell note read by police today tells

[5:04] of a troubled man behind the mask. I

[5:07] have been dying since October.

[5:12] Wake up at night so afraid,

[5:15] so terrified

[5:17] that I couldn't be that afraid

[5:20] while awake. In the letter left at the

[5:22] site of his family's murders, Barton

[5:24] also revealed the motivation behind

[5:26] Thursday's rampage, but emphatically

[5:28] denied another terrible accusation. That

[5:31] in 1993, he murdered his first wife and

[5:34] mother-in-law, who were found beaten to

[5:36] death in this Alabama campground. At the

[5:38] double funeral, Barton stood solemnly

[5:40] near the hearse, even though he was

[5:42] considered the prime suspect, in part

[5:44] because he had taken out a $600,000 life

[5:47] insurance policy on his wife Deborah.

[5:50] But for a man who worked quietly as a

[5:52] chemist and lately as an investment day

[5:54] trader, he seemed harmless to his

[5:56] neighbors.

[5:56] >> But he didn't see him as a threat

[5:58] because children usually have that that

[5:59] ability to know if a if a adult is a

[6:01] good adult or a bad adult. My kids were

[6:03] totally comfortable with him.

[6:05] >> I give you Matthew David Barton.

[6:07] >> And that was the hardest part for many

[6:08] to believe. The children Barton's last

[6:11] words about his kids were tough to read,

[6:13] even for cops who have seen it all. my

[6:15] son,

[6:17] my buddy,

[6:18] my life.

[6:21] Please take care of him.

[6:25] And as to the little girl,

[6:29] the note states, I give you

[6:33] Michelle

[6:35] Elizabeth Barton,

[6:38] my daughter,

[6:40] my sweetheart,

[6:43] my life.

[6:45] Please take care of her.

[6:47] >> The father, the husband, the friend

[6:50] everyone thought they knew. Mark Barton

[6:52] proved them all dead wrong. Moren Maher,

[6:55] CBS News, Mororrow, Georgia.

[6:59] >> In Sievo for a summit today, President

[7:01] Clinton expressed sadness over the

[7:03] Atlanta shootings. He said his thoughts

[7:05] are with the victims, their families,

[7:07] and those still fighting for their

[7:08] lives. The president avoided calling for

[7:10] increased gun control measures. Instead,

[7:12] saying he would wait for all of the

[7:14] facts from the investigation. Whether or

[7:17] not it had anything to do with the stock

[7:19] market, the massacre in Atlanta has

[7:21] drawn attention to the high stress

[7:22] business of day trading. It's a new game

[7:25] almost anyone can play at their own

[7:28] risk. CBS's Bill Whitaker looks at day

[7:30] traders what they do and why they do it.

[7:34] >> Ask almost any day trader. First comes

[7:36] the rush, the dream of instant riches.

[7:39] Then almost inevitably comes the low.

[7:42] That note day trader Mark Barton left

[7:44] behind revealed he'd reached the lowest

[7:46] point, vowing to kill as many of the

[7:48] people that greedily sought my

[7:50] destruction.

[7:51] >> No matter what they did to this guy, it

[7:52] doesn't justify killing people. But it

[7:55] pushes people to the edge and maybe over

[7:58] the edge.

[7:58] >> John Scurs should know he lost $320,000

[8:03] day trading before he realized he'd hit

[8:05] rock bottom. It's not just electronic

[8:08] trade, which the commercials say will

[8:10] help you get rich quick. Thank you so

[8:12] much for bailing out my country.

[8:14] >> Oh, you're welcome.

[8:15] >> Day traders want to get rich quicker. At

[8:18] trading centers, they watch the market

[8:20] second by second, buying and selling

[8:22] dozens of times a day.

[8:23] >> You don't realize how much trouble

[8:25] you're in until you're far too far into

[8:28] the forest and there's no way of getting

[8:29] out.

[8:30] >> John Skirish lost his money at one of

[8:32] the largest day trading firms. He can't

[8:34] say which one because he's cooperating

[8:36] with federal investigators. And sources

[8:38] tell CBS News those investigators soon

[8:41] will be issuing a damaging report on the

[8:43] industry. Massachusetts recently closed

[8:46] down day trading firm Altech Investment

[8:48] for deceptive advertising. An all tech

[8:51] branch was one of the offices Barton

[8:53] shot up in Atlanta.

[8:54] >> How far is the brokerage firm supposed

[8:55] to take it? I mean, do we now hire

[8:57] in-house psychologists to mentally

[8:58] evaluate you before we let you open an

[9:00] account? I mean, there's only so much

[9:01] they can do to predict how p how a

[9:04] person's going to react. The lure of

[9:06] instant riches is a powerful draw and

[9:08] despite recent negative publicity,

[9:10] market watchers predict day trading will

[9:13] only continue to grow. Bill Whitaker,

[9:16] CBS News, Los Angeles. Still ahead on

[9:19] tonight's CBS Evening News, the

[9:20] prospects for new gun control laws in

[9:23] the wake of the Atlanta massacre. We'll

[9:25] tell you about some of the lives cut

[9:27] short by Mark Barton. What the official

[9:30] investigation of the Kennedy plane

[9:31] wreckage has found. and the CBS weather

[9:34] watch. The drought forces farmers to

[9:37] make tough choices.

[9:44] When you were a kid, did you carry a

[9:46] lunchbox?

[9:47] Who was on it?

[9:50] Was it Sir Isaac Newton?

[9:53] Was it Abraham Lincoln?

[9:56] Or was it the A team?

[10:01] Introducing the new redesigned 2000

[10:04] Mitsubishi Monto Sport. We pity the fool

[10:08] would drive anything else.

[10:12] >> Got dirty sweat stains? Spray and wash

[10:14] advanced stain care penetrates faster

[10:16] than shout and powers out those dirty

[10:19] sweat stains.

[10:21] See? So go ahead and

[10:23] >> let them go with spray and wash. It's

[10:27] time. Time for your heartburn to kick in

[10:29] because your heartburn relief gave out.

[10:32] It happens two or more days a week even

[10:34] though you've treated it and changed

[10:35] your diet. That frequent persistent

[10:37] heartburn may be due to acid reflux

[10:39] disease, potentially serious.

[10:44] It's Pryloc time. Time to see your

[10:47] doctor about prescription Pryloc. Your

[10:50] results may vary, but for many people,

[10:52] Pryloc provides 24 hours of complete

[10:54] heartburn relief with one daily dose.

[10:57] Ask your doctor for more information

[10:59] about Pryloc and if it's right for you.

[11:01] The most common side effects are

[11:03] headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

[11:05] 24 hours of complete heartburn relief is

[11:08] possible. It's Pryloc time.

[11:13] After examining the wreckage of John

[11:15] Kennedy Jr.'s plane. The National

[11:17] Transportation Safety Board said today

[11:19] there is no evidence that the aircraft

[11:21] broke apart in flight. No evidence of an

[11:24] onboard fire or any problem with the

[11:26] engine or propeller. This confirms what

[11:28] CBS's Bob or reported last Monday. News

[11:31] Day reported today an autopsy found

[11:33] Kennedy was not flying under the

[11:35] influence of alcohol, drugs, or pain

[11:37] medication and had not suffered a heart

[11:40] attack or stroke. On tonight's CBS

[11:43] Weather Watch, with the country roasting

[11:45] in an unrelenting heat wave, energy

[11:47] companies are urging people to cut

[11:48] electricity use to prevent blackouts.

[11:51] Another increasingly scarce resource,

[11:53] water, is also feeling the heat. And the

[11:56] death toll is rising along with the

[11:58] temperatures.

[12:02] >> Good morning. 625 is

[12:04] >> at daybreak in Chicago, the heat index

[12:06] was already approaching 100. It will be

[12:09] just plain simple ugly outside.

[12:11] >> Ugly and deadly. At least 86 people have

[12:14] perished in the heat. 29 of them in

[12:17] Missouri alone, where the mercury has

[12:18] hovered near the century mark for almost

[12:21] 2 weeks.

[12:22] >> It's pretty sad. It um it really is.

[12:24] >> In the Mid-Atlantic states, where heat

[12:26] and lack of rain have combined into a

[12:28] drought the likes of which no one

[12:30] remembers, farmer Les Paul is letting

[12:32] his corn go dry, using what precious

[12:34] water there is for his blackberries. the

[12:36] way the weather looks right now, um you

[12:39] know, we're not going to get, you know,

[12:40] the rain. So, um we're just not going to

[12:42] waste our water, you know, in such a

[12:43] small cash crop.

[12:44] >> And while there is some relief in the

[12:46] northern plains, east of the

[12:48] Mississippi, it's forecast to get worse

[12:50] by the end of the weekend with the heat

[12:52] index in triple digits and temperatures

[12:54] expected to hit 100 in the New York City

[12:57] area.

[12:57] >> It's down quite a bit from what it

[12:59] normally is. That's more bad news in

[13:02] Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, where

[13:04] wells have dried up and the volunteer

[13:06] fire department's reservoir has reached

[13:08] new lows.

[13:09] >> It's a little frustrating. Uh but we

[13:11] really have no control at this point.

[13:15] >> New Jersey's governor is expected to

[13:17] announce a drought warning next week.

[13:18] And this morning, New York's mayor urged

[13:20] people to conserve water or by October,

[13:23] the Big Apple could face a drought

[13:25] emergency. The high temperatures this

[13:27] summer have caused vegetables to ripen

[13:29] faster. That's creating a glut that sent

[13:31] prices plunging for farmers already

[13:33] struggling to get by. In Virginia, for

[13:35] instance, the wholesale price of corn

[13:37] has dropped from $65 a crate to $4.5.

[13:42] A follow-up tonight to our recent Eye in

[13:44] America series about the controversy

[13:45] over genetically modified food. The

[13:48] maker of Gerber baby food confirmed

[13:50] today it is dropping suppliers who use

[13:53] genetic engineering in their corn and

[13:55] soybean products. The government insists

[13:57] genetically modified food is safe.

[13:59] Critics, they're not so sure. On the CBS

[14:03] Market Watch tonight, continuing concern

[14:05] over higher interest rates sent the Dow

[14:07] to its second straight triple-digit loss

[14:09] today. The Dow is now 554

[14:12] points off its record high set just two

[14:14] weeks ago. For the year, the Dow is

[14:16] still ahead 16%. The Nasdaq fell a point

[14:20] and a half today and is 225 points off

[14:22] of its record high, but still ahead 20%

[14:25] for the year. Coming up next on the CBS

[14:28] Evening News, criminal charges against

[14:31] Linda Trip in the Clinton Lewinsky

[14:33] scandal.

[14:34] >> Speaker, I'm going to have to refer to

[14:36] my notes.

[14:37] >> The cheeseburger sounds good, huh?

[14:39] >> She became more than a villain.

[14:41] After due deliberation, the grand jury

[14:44] has issued an indictment charging Linda

[14:47] Trip with violating the Maryland statute

[14:50] that makes it illegal to record a

[14:52] conversation without the consent of all

[14:55] participants.

[14:56] >> A grand jury meeting at the Howard

[14:58] County, Maryland courthouse also

[14:59] indicted Trip for leaking information of

[15:01] her phone recordings with Lewinsky to

[15:03] the media. Trip's lawyers angrily

[15:06] charged the indictment was to destroy

[15:08] Trip. One of the most important

[15:10] whistleblowers in American history is

[15:14] facing

[15:15] $10 years in prison,

[15:19] $20,000

[15:21] in fine

[15:23] to be branded as a felon. The trip tapes

[15:26] will be for every legend in this

[15:28] nation's history. Tapes like the one of

[15:31] Trip counseling Lewinsky on the need to

[15:33] keep the infamous stained blue dress.

[15:35] The dress that made it impossible for

[15:37] the president to deny his relationship

[15:39] with Lewinsky.

[15:41] >> Put it in a baggie. You put it in a

[15:42] Ziploc bag and you pack it in with your

[15:45] treasures. For what I care for, though?

[15:49] >> I don't know, Monica. It's just this

[15:50] nagging awful feeling I have in the back

[15:52] of my head.

[15:53] >> Now, Trip has become the only central

[15:55] figure to face criminal charges. Monica

[15:58] Lewinsky enjoyed immunity and wrote a

[16:00] book. And Bill Clinton has survived. He

[16:03] was in Sievo today. still president.

[16:06] Bill Jones, CBS News, Washington.

[16:09] >> That trip to Sievo was for a one-day

[16:11] summit on rebuilding the Balkans.

[16:13] Serbia's Sloven Mall was not invited.

[16:16] The 40 leaders who were pledged to

[16:18] promote multithnic democracy and free

[16:20] markets throughout the region. Later,

[16:22] Mr. Clinton spoke to Muslim, Croat, and

[16:25] Serb students who will attend high

[16:26] school together this fall in Sievo.

[16:29] Their school had been heavily damaged in

[16:31] the Bosnian war. Moving to repair some

[16:34] damage from the most recent Balkan

[16:36] conflict, the United States today agreed

[16:38] to pay $4.5 million to the victims of

[16:40] the accidental bombing of the Chinese

[16:42] embassy in Bgrade. The money will go to

[16:45] the 27 people injured and the families

[16:47] of the three Chinese journalists who

[16:49] were killed in the May 7th strike on the

[16:51] Serbian capital. Still to come on the

[16:53] CBS Evening News, new calls for tougher

[16:56] gun control laws in the wake of the

[16:58] Atlanta massacre.

[17:15] Heat. Heat.

[17:30] Chevy Tahoe like a rock.

[17:33] >> The party's in there. So why am I out

[17:36] here? Gas again.

[17:38] >> Maximum strength Fasy has 33% more

[17:41] medicine doctors recommend.

[17:42] >> One little pill and I'm back.

[17:45] >> Serious medicine for serious gas.

[17:47] Faison.

[17:49] >> Got dirty sweat stains? Spray and wash

[17:52] advanced stain care penetrates faster

[17:54] than shout and powers out those dirty

[17:56] sweat stains.

[17:58] See? So go ahead and

[18:00] >> let them go with spray and wash.

[18:04] >> Do you dare to be bare everywhere? Can

[18:07] you expose your toes or do you hide them

[18:10] because of embarrassing nail fungus that

[18:12] turns nails colors, makes them thick or

[18:14] brittle? Well, now you can discover how

[18:16] it's possible to get healthier, more

[18:18] beautiful nails back. By calling this

[18:20] number, you'll receive a free video and

[18:22] learn about effective oral treatments

[18:24] your doctor has. This year, learn how to

[18:27] lose those shoes and love it. Then, dare

[18:29] to be bare because fungus-free nails are

[18:32] a bare necessity. I just bought every

[18:35] overnight laxid I could find.

[18:37] >> Why? to prove nothing's gentler than

[18:39] Philips Milk of Magnesia. Axlax,

[18:41] Cynicot, every one of these others

[18:43] contains stimulants. That one says on

[18:45] the label it may cause abdominal

[18:47] discomfort, faintness, and cramps.

[18:49] Philips is the only one that's stimulant

[18:51] free. Nothing's more effective.

[18:53] Nothing's safer. Does that explain

[18:56] everything?

[18:56] >> Yeah, except who's taking these back.

[19:00] >> Phillips safe, effective relief without

[19:02] harsh stimulants.

[19:05] As expected, the Senate Republicans

[19:07] today pushed through a $792 billion

[19:10] package of tax cuts similar to one

[19:12] passed by House Republicans to be paid

[19:14] for with projected surpluses in the

[19:16] federal budget. President Clinton says

[19:18] the cut is too large. He promises a

[19:21] veto. The shots that rang out in the

[19:23] Atlanta massacre were heard clearly by

[19:25] lawmakers on Capitol Hill today. While

[19:27] it may have been loud enough to put gun

[19:30] control back in the spotlight, CBS's

[19:32] Diana Ol reports it might not be enough

[19:34] to spark serious change.

[19:38] >> As Americans were still learning the

[19:40] details of yet one more mass shooting,

[19:42] their lawmakers in Congress today were

[19:44] taking the next step in the battle over

[19:46] gun control.

[19:47] >> We need a comprehensive system of

[19:50] background checks to keep this kind of

[19:52] person from buying a gun. We need to

[19:55] plug the loopholes.

[19:57] >> Last spring, in the wake of school

[19:59] shootings in Littleton, Colorado and

[20:01] Conurs, Georgia, the Senate passed a

[20:03] juvenile justice bill that did include

[20:05] some gun control. But in its bill last

[20:08] month, the House knocked it out.

[20:10] >> We don't need more gun control

[20:12] legislation.

[20:14] I will oppose all attempts to chip away

[20:16] at America's Bill of Rights. That's why

[20:19] the odds of passing any gun control are

[20:21] slim, especially when faced with the

[20:23] powerful influence of the National Rifle

[20:25] Association, whose president had this

[20:27] response to the Atlanta attack.

[20:30] >> There are, as I said, 22,000 gun laws.

[20:34] The problem is enforcing them. There's

[20:35] no point in having a law if you don't

[20:37] enforce it.

[20:37] >> Are you optimistic that they're going to

[20:39] get any gun control into this bill? I

[20:41] >> I'm not optimistic, but we must not give

[20:44] up. Congressman John Lewis, who

[20:47] represents the Georgia district where

[20:48] yesterday's shootings took place,

[20:50] doesn't believe yet another massacre

[20:52] will make any difference.

[20:54] >> We have a great distance to go, and I

[20:56] don't think this Congress has the

[20:59] courage to take the necessary step to

[21:02] control the proliferation of guns in

[21:03] America.

[21:04] >> Members of the House and Senate could

[21:06] begin negotiating the final juvenile

[21:08] justice bill next week, but no one's

[21:10] making any promises on guns. One thing's

[21:12] for sure, though. Kids will be heading

[21:14] back to school before Congress makes

[21:16] much headway on the bill. Diana Ol, CBS

[21:19] News, Capitol Hill.

[21:20] >> Coming up next on the CBS Evening News,

[21:23] we'll tell you about some of the victims

[21:25] of the gunman in Atlanta.

[21:33] blends from one a day. Not just herbs.

[21:55] day specialized blends. They're just

[21:58] what you need to feel your best.

[23:32] As we've reported, the Atlanta shooter

[23:35] left a note vowing to kill the people

[23:37] who quote greedily sought his

[23:39] destruction. As it turns out, most of

[23:41] his victims had little or nothing to do

[23:43] with Mark Barton. CBS's Randall Kingston

[23:46] has two of their stories.

[23:48] >> He was just the nicest, kindest man

[23:51] ever. I mean, he'd do anything for

[23:52] anyone. I mean, really. In Norcross,

[23:54] Georgia, Scott and Mike Quinn are coming

[23:56] to terms with the sudden brutal murder

[23:58] of their father, 58-year-old Edward.

[24:01] >> Unconditional is the best way I can

[24:03] describe him.

[24:04] >> Quinn had just retired from UPS and was

[24:07] a new grandfather. Day trading was a new

[24:09] hobby.

[24:10] >> This is just something that he did in

[24:11] his retirement.

[24:12] >> His son say he went to Momentum

[24:14] Securities 3 days a week for a few hours

[24:16] where he met Mark Barton. My father was

[24:19] a type of person that came from with

[24:22] everybody.

[24:24] Um he was a very warm individual.

[24:28] Um likable personality.

[24:30] >> They are mystified about why their

[24:32] father was killed. So is Rishi Morali

[24:35] Dara who is trying to cope with his

[24:37] mother's death.

[24:37] >> When I come back on weekend so

[24:41] for holiday she's not going to be there.

[24:42] I mean,

[24:45] and just because some stupid mad guy

[24:48] just wanted some revenge on some

[24:50] innocent people. His family had been in

[24:52] their new home just 6 months. Rishi said

[24:55] his mom was trying to earn extra money

[24:57] to pay the bills and had just begun

[24:59] training for day trading two weeks ago.

[25:02] >> What do you want people to know about

[25:04] your mom?

[25:04] >> She was a good mom.

[25:05] >> I wasn't always the obedient son. I

[25:07] mean, I had my share of troubles at

[25:08] school. I mean,

[25:11] whatever I did show stood by me.

[25:13] >> They cling to memories, but now families

[25:16] of Mark Barton's victims who once shared

[25:18] a hobby can only share grief. Randall

[25:22] Kingston, CBS News Atlanta.

[25:24] >> And that's the CBS Evening News. Dan

[25:26] Rather will be back again on Monday. Now

[25:28] from 60 Minutes, here's Mike Wallace.

[25:32] Did this man, Dr. Wen Holi, do what the

[25:37] he did? Did he give our most closely

[25:40] guarded nuclear secrets to the Chinese?
