Lee firemen were called to the Murray apartment, one of two in a building located behind the local branch of the Berkshire Bank' and Trust at 2:44 p.m. The younger Murray and his wife Susan, both teachers at Lee High School, returned home then to find their apartment filled with smoke.

Unable to get inside, they called the Fire Department. Firemen wearing air masks searched the five-room apartment and found Murray lying next to his bed. Urey a bedroom window and lowered him to the ground. The firemen were able to confine the Maze to the elder Murrays bedroom, although the entire apartment received heaVy smoke damage. Fire Chief Ottavio B.

Giarolo said he was not sure how long the fire smoldered before the other members of the family discovered it. Sibley and Boyne said that while investigating the death, they were called to an 'apartment house in East Lee, owned by the younger Murray, where newspaper and gasoline had been used to try and start a fire at the East Lee building. Police said the incident was related to the investigation of the fatal fire. Funeral arrangments for the victim are incomplete. The Kelly Funeral Home here is in charge.

Murray had most re-v cently worked as a town switchboard operator, retiring a few years ago. to a suspicious blaze, something other than the case of careless smoking that had originally been suspected. This could have been written off easily, as smoking in bed, except for the fact that the family states Mr. Murray suffered from emphysema and hadn't smoked for two years," according to Sibley. That, and some, other things found, led us to suspect a homicide.

Sibley added. A preliminary investigation by Dr. Arthur L. Cassel of Great Barrington, a medical examiner, brewed lacerations to the side and rear of the victims head, Sibley added. If Murrays death is finally ruled a homicide, it would be the second in the county this year, and continuing a grim cycle that took shape last October of a RICHMOND Edgar Jan Kusik, 31, of Boston, formerly of Richmond, son of Mr.

Dugas Under the change he is asking the Council to make, it would take the votes of eight of the 11 Council members to establish a new position. Now it only takes the votes of six. As things are now, it fakes more votes to raise the pay for an existing job than it does to a new job. Dugas calls that an incongruity." Dugas first became interested in changing the voting reqpire- ments for new job slots when the Council on a 7-4 vote in late January established the post of safety officer. Dugas argued that advocates of the job had not presented sufficient evidence to justify the $11,500 job.
