Three Topeka men arrested after murder of local man
LAWRENCE
A 22-year-old Lawrence resident died of gunshot wounds at a south Lawrence residence on March 14.
Lawrence police officers have arrested three men from Topeka in connection with the shooting of Quincy M. Sanders, according to a statement from the Lawrence Police Department.
Lawrence police responded to reports of a shooting at about 3:30 a.m. March 14 at a duplex on Ridge Court.
Officers from the KU Public Safety Office pursued a white Dodge Intrepid that witnesses had said was associated with the shooting. During the chase, two of the three suspects jumped out of the car and fled on foot. The car was later found abandoned in the 400 block of Indiana Street.
Police arrested Randy R. Owens, 27, of Topeka on March 14 at Kansas City International Airport. Tremain Scott, 21, of Topeka, was arrested later in Kansas City, Kan.
Scott was charged with second-degree murder. Owens was charged with aiding a felon, obstruction of justice and fleeing a law enforcement officer.
Lawrence and Topeka detectives worked together Friday to arrest a third suspect, a 22-year-old Topeka man. He will be formally charged today. It is The University Daily Kansan's policy to
publish only the names of suspects who have been charged.

Hutchinson benefits from rise in tourism
HUTCHINSON — Spring break, the return of the Liberty Bell 7 and the National Junior College Athletic Association tournament have combined to make the first few weeks of March prosperous for the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center.
"This week is always a busy week for us, because of the tournament and spring break, but this month has surpassed last March by quite a bit," said Cosmosphere President Jeff Ollenburger.
Between March 1 and March 20, just more than 17,000 people attended the museum, a 30 percent increase over the same period last year, he said.
Liberty Bell 7, the Mercury space capsule that sunk in the Atlantic on July 21, 1961, was restored at the Cosmosphere after its retrieval from the ocean in 1999.
During the exhibit's opening weekend, 1,250 visitors toured the exhibit 400 more than the same weekend last year.

No-fly zone imposed over Chicago's downtown
Earlier in the week, he criticized the government for imposing no-fly zones over Disney amusement parks but not the nation's third-largest city. New York City and Washington, D.C., also have no-fly zones.
CHICAGO — Federal officials Saturday imposed a no-fly zone over downtown Chicago after repeated requests from city officials.
The Federal Aviation Administration restriction bars small planes from flying over the city's business district, including the 110-story Sears Tower. Commercial flights to O'Hare International Airport and Midway Airport are not affected.

Sale of Bill of Rights may bring charges
PHILADELPHIA — Federal authorities are weighing the possibility of criminal charges over an attempt to sell a copy of the Bill of Rights, missing since the Civil War, that was seized during an undercover sting.
But proving criminality in the sale of government documents isn't always easy, especially if they were taken during wartime.
"The problem for the government is to figure out whether the person had criminal intent, whether they knew they were stolen," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Goldman, a history buff who has prosecuted museum theft cases.
Historians believe the handwritten
Bill of Rights that surfaced this past week was stolen from the North Carolina statehouse by a Union soldier on April 14, 1865, as Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's army stormed through Raleigh.
The soldier took it home to Ohio and sold it a year later, the document's last known transfer until Tuesday, when a broker acting for the anonymous seller sought $4 million from an undercover FBI agent.
Archivists have estimated the value of the North Carolina copy at $20 million to $30 million.
North Carolina officials twice refused to negotiate with the person who held the document, most recently
in 1958, because they considered it ransom money, the FBI said.
That could have been a dangerous decision, one expert said.
"They might have been acting on principle, but that wasn't necessarily the best thing to do for the document," said New York document dealer Seth Kaller. The seller had threatened in 1995 to harm the document if his name became public, the FBI said.
A lawyer for the current owner could argue that the document was a spoil of war.
"It gets to be a very interesting and complex field, to sort all these competing interests," Goldman said.
