C. Killer Will SeekThreeMoreVictims By RAY TIMSON MISSION. B.C., June 26 —(OP) -- A belief that the killer of Silver Hill will come out of hiding and attempt to slay at least three more persons was exprmed Saturday by Phil Catherwood, superintend- ent of roads for Mission municip- ality, who considers himself No. 1 on the "death list." It was over a feud with his road gang that Ivar Johnson, 70-year- old recluse, allegedly started his. trail-of death last Thursday. Along its path two farm women were left dead -- Mrs. Marie Lindberg, 68- year-old widow. and Mrs. George Barrett, 60, mother of three child- ren. Ho also left his home and farm buildings a smoking ruin Police posses have scoured acres of stumpy bushland and isolated cab- ins without trace of the fugitive. Two charges of murder stand against him. "I have known Johnson for so years," Catherwood said as he idly stood around the stump farm where the recluse Johnson could be lurking with his .30-.30 'rifle. "And I don't. believe he will try to make a run for it." Catherwood believes Johnson will return to the scene of the kill- ings and attempt to take tho lives of Mission Police Chief Peter Ber- ger. neighbor Ivar Ericsori and himself (Cstherwood). “He hates all three of us and thinks we've tried to rob him of part of his land in putting in this new road. I think he will attempt to avenge his hatreds." Johnson. during his 36 years of farming in the hilly and almost impenetrable Silver Hill arcs, has worked for Catherwood on road gangs.
