DIED. Price Daniel Jr., 39, lawyer and reform-minded politician, onetime speaker of the Texas house of representatives and son of former Texas Governor and ex-U.S. Senator Price Daniel; of a gunshot wound inflicted by his wife Vickie, who had filed for divorce in December on the grounds that their four-year marriage was "insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities"; in Liberty, Texas. No charges have been filed, pending an investigation into the cause of the shooting.

DIED. Samuel Barber, 70, American composer whose lyrical music won him international popularity; of cancer; in New York City. Celebrated in his 20s for works like the Overture for the School for Scandal, he later won Pulitzer prizes for his opera Vanessa and for Piano Concerto No. 1. His grand effort, Antony and Cleopatra, was a rare failure for a composer who loved and understood the human voice and stood apart from avant-garde trends.

DIED. Russell Procope, 72, dapper, goateed jazz clarinetist and saxophonist who was a fixture in the Duke Ellington Orchestra; in New York City. After playing with Chick Webb, Fletcher Henderson and the John Kirby Sextet, Procope joined the Duke in 1945, bringing his low, mellow sound to such Ellington compositions as 4:30 Blues and Swamp Goo.

DIED. Bernard Lee, 73, British character actor who often played policemen or soldiers in his more than 100 films (The Third Man, The Detective) and who was best known for his portrayal of "M," the spy chief who gives James Bond his orders in nearly all the Bond movies released so far; of cancer; in London.

DIED. Marguerite Oswald, 73, mother of the presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, who bitterly contested the Warren Commission's conclusion that her son had acted alone in shooting John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963; of cancer; in Fort Worth, Texas. A loquacious, self-dramatizing woman, she once proclaimed: "If you research the life of Jesus Christ, you find that you never did hear anything more about the mother of Jesus after he was crucified."
