Police receive 3 letters containing murder leads
Richard Stanwix, Lawrence police chief, said yesterday that the police department had received three letters from law enforcement officials Smith and Sam Norwood murders.
Stanwix said the department was still working on two of the leads.
He declined to say which tips concerned which murder.
Smith was found beaten to death in her home the morning of Nov. 8. One letter previously had been received in response to that killing.
Norwood's body was found Nov. 29 on the south bank of the Kansas River at the north end of New York Street. Norwood's body was recovered and had been shot four times with a handgun.
STANWIX SAID that complete autopsy results in the Norwood case were not yet available.
Mike Malone, Douglas County attorney, said the occupants of a car reportedly stolen in the Denver area
were wanted for questioning in the murder because they were seen in the Lawrence area the day Norwood thought to be two men and a woman.
Warrants were issued Saturday for two of the car's occupants, but their names were not released.
Norwood disappeared the evening of Nov. 28 after he left the F. W. Woolworth store in downtown Lawrence. He had been manager of the store since last
A reward of $1,000 had been offered in the Smith case. Half of the money came from the Douglas County Reward Fund and half came from an unclaimed source.
The F. W. Woolworth Co offered a $5,000 reward in the Norwood case.
Smith and Norwood are the city's fifth and sixth murder this year. Another murder, the beating death of spring Robert Cohn, 63, also remains unsolved.
Clark Brubaker, deputy state fire marshal, said yesterday after completing a two-day inspection of McColum Hall that he had found deficiencies in hall equipment that did not comply with the state fire prevention code.
Brubaker, who considered the deficiencies to be minor ones, said some fire extinguishers needed to be checked for missing extinguishers should be replaced.
In the second day of the McColm inspection, Brubaker toured the third through the seventh floors of the residence halls. Brubaker inspected the five other floors. Brubaker returned-out exit lights and deficient glass panels; some doors that he said should be replaced.
"There are a few minor things to do, but all those halls with people moving in and out always need to have things done," Brubaker said.
McCollum shows fire deficiencies
A fire Nov. 11 on McColburn's eight floor an estimated $10,000 damage to the structure of the building.
have not yet determined the cause of the fire, which began in a closet in Room 883.
The fire gutted the room. Other rooms on the south wing of the floor also sustained smoke, heat and water damage during the blaze.
"I hope I'll finish it today, but you never know what you might run into" he said.
The completion yesterday of the McCollim inspection left only Hassinger Hall yet to be inspected. Brubaker said he would begin inspecting Hassinger today.
Although repair work is not expected to begin on Room 863 until Christmas vacation, the other rooms have been repaired, and residents now are living in them.
Hashinger will be the last living group to be inspected in an annual inspection of all University of Kansas educational buildings, the campus scholarship halls and Stoffler Place apartments.
Brubaker and four other inspectors from the state fire marshal's office last week found major fire code deficiencies in Lewis and Watkins and Waltkins Miller scholarship halls.
Inspectors also found that Ellsworth,
Templin and Joseph R. Pearson residence halls, Grace Pearson and Pearson scholarship halls and Stouffer Place complied with the state code.
Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbon Hall and Douthart, Sellards, Battfield and Stephenson scholarship halls also met the state code, with minor exceptions.
Reports of last week's inspections and recommendations for corrections in each building were submitted Friday to Floyd Dibbern, state fire marshal. Dibbern, who is still reviewing reports of the buildings inspected before Thanksgiving vacation, will review the reports and decide what changes or corrections are necessary.

Not Good on Delivery
Look into Air Force ROTC. And there are 4-year, 3-year, or 2-year programs to choose from. Whichever you select, you'll leave college with a commission as an Air Force officer. With opportunities for a position with responsibility ... challenge ... and, of course, financial rewards and security.
The courses themselves prepare you for leadership positions ahead. Positions as a member of an aircrew, or as a missile launch officer positions.
Look out for yourself. Look into the AirForce ROTC programs on campus
