LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.-Paul Arm
strong, the playwright, was called on
the telephone last night and told that
he was going to be killed. The sender
of the message was Warren Lesh, the
husband OF Mrs. Pansy Ellen Lesh,
who confessed to numbering two Mis-
souri, women by poison. Lesh was in
censed because Armstrong had taken
too much interest in the case of his
wife. A little later Armstrong received
letter from Lesh written in the same
strain, which Armstrong handed over
to the police.
In an interview this afternoon Arm
strong said he considered the attack OF
Lesh nothing but bluff and did not
intend to lose any sleep over it. He
says that the Lesh case is the strang-
est one that he has ever come In con-
tact with. He received a letter last
