Police List Death Of Man
Lying by Car as Murder
Ry the Associated Press

NORFOLK. Va. May 24.-The
death of Pierre Lefer. 45-year-
old Frenchman, has been listed
by police as murder. Mr.. Lefer
died Saturday of injuries which
were at first believed to have
been accidentally received.
Homicide Sergt. E. M. Towe
said the death was listed as mur-
der when an autopsy revealed
that Lefer died of a broken skull.
Sergt. Towe said that other as
poets of the case also point to
murder.
Mr.. Lefer was found lying by
his car late Friday night. The
position of the car and other
surface appearances led officers
to believe at first that Mr.. Lefer
became i'll, parked the automo-
bile and fell as he attempted to
leave the car.
The autopsy, however, re-
vealed the head injury was more
serious than would have been
caused by a fall.

Man Who Threatened
Gov. Knight Ends Life
By the Assoeioted Press

LOS ANGELES, May 24.-A
man who police said admitted
sending Gov Goodwin j. Knight
an extortion note was found
hanged in his Jail cell early to-
day.
Jaller Donald Aboe said Will
liam B. Barrows, AZ, had ripped
his shirt in two and fashioned
a moose which he attached to
the bars in a ventilator.
Efforts to revive him failed.
Barrows was arrested Friday.
Police said he blamed his trouble
on too much drinking" and ad-
mitted he had written and signed
his own name to a note threat
ening the Governor with bodily
harm.
The arrest came after Chief
of Police William Parker received
a telephone call from the Gov
ernor's aide, Oscar Jahnsen. The
aide said the letter was post
marked May II from Los, An
geles and listed rooming house
as its return address. Barrows
was arrested at the rooming
house.
Police said the note read:
Dear Governor: If you are
enjoying good health and want
to keep it, you had better send
me $1,000 by return mail. This
is no hoax"
