Police charge man with murder
after finding dismembered body
GRAPEVINE (AP) — Police on Thursday charged a
seriously wounded 38-year-old man with murder after
finding the dismembered body of a woman in garbage
bags in his Grapevine apartment in what police are call
ing a murder-suicide attempt.
Police said Lawrence Barfield, who was charged in
February with aggravated sexual assault, is accused of
killing the woman and putting her remains in a closet.
Her identity was not immediately known.
Barfield apparently shot himself in the head in his
bedroom and was in stable condition under police
guard Thursday at Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort
Worth, Wayne Eichel, Grapevine police spokesman,
said.
Police think the woman died five to seven days ago
and was killed in the apartment, Eichel said. “What
their relationship is, how long it lasted, any of that stuff,
we don’t know,” he said.
The woman, who appeared
ipeated blows to the head wit!
abu
to be in her 20s, died
repeated blows to the head with a blunt object, said Bi 1
Fabian, a spokesman for the Tarrant County medic;
examiner. He said her time of death and other detail
were not immediately known.
Eichel said the woman apparently was dismembere
with kitchen utensils. Police also found a .22-calibf
handgun in the bedroom.
Officers found several long notes in the apartmen
apparently written by Barfield, Eichel said.
“But, they don’t explain why it happened," Eiche
said. “They tell us the mechanics of it, kind of likealoi
of the days he spent in preparing to commit suiddet
the house with this deceased person.”
Officers were summoned to the north Grape
apartment about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday by the Denic:
County Sheriffs office, Eichel said.

Hospital explosion leaves
2 workers badly burned
CHILDRESS (AP) — Two main
tenance workers at Childress Gen
eral Hospital remained hospitalized
with serious burns Thursday after
an explosion that knocked out
ower to the hospital for several
ours Wednesday.
Officials still were unsure Thurs
day how Wednesday afternoon’s ac
cident happened.
None of the 15 patients at the hos
pital were injured.
Maintenance supervisor Archie
Howell, 61, and his assistant, Rich
ard Proffitt, 58, were flown by heli
copter to Lubbock General Hospital.
Howell was in serious condition
Thursday with second- and third-
degree burns over 40 percent of his
body.
Proffitt was in satisfactory condi
tion with second-degree burns over
20 percent of his body.
Officials said the maintenance
workers were checking the build
ing’s 6-foot by 4-foot outdoor electri
cal box when it exploded about 1:20
p.m.
They had been dispatched to in
spect the box after the hospital’s
lights began flickering, administra
tor Frances Smith said.
“We’re not sure exactly what the
cause was or how it happened,” fire
fighter J.D. Phillips said Thursday.
The electrical box, located on the
outside wall of the one-story build
ing’s southeast wing, is where the
electric utility’s lines enter the build
ing.
The explosion caused the south
east wing’s hallways to fill with
smoke, Phillips said.
By the time firefighters got to the
scene, all patients had been evac
uated to the lawn and were being
tended to by nurses.
Going out on the call “was a little
hairy to start with because we didn’t
know what we had when we started
to roll on it,” Phillips said.
An emergency generator, stored
near the electrical box, was damaged
in the blast, but workers started the
generator about 45 minutes after the
accident.
The generator was incapable of
supplying the hospital with full
power, so a larger one was dis
patched from Altus Air Force Base
about 60 miles away, Fire Chief
Roger Davis said.
Full power was restored about
5:30 p.m.. Smith said, and the hospi
tal and its emergency room were re
opened.

E. Odessa St., was found hanging

ing to jail records.
During the check, Ellis sa*
Winn inside the shower stall witi
a sheet hanging from the ceiling
Gibson said. Jailers check inmate
every hour, Gibson said.
