Local murder trial reconvenes today Defense witness fails to appear By Jay Williams Kansan staff writer Donald Ray Jr., 25, Lawrence, said that the 14-page statement he had given to the sheriff and Kansas Bureau of Investigation officials was false. Because the defense's final witness did not appear to testify yesterday, the preliminary hearing for a 19-year-old Lawrence man charged in connection with the March 1900 death of Christopher Bread will reconvene at 9 a.m. today. Authorities arrested Marvin Schaul on March 1 and later charged him with a felony count of aggravated vehicular homicide and a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an injury accident. Douglas County District Court Judge Ralph King issued a bench warrant today when the final witness did not show. The man who Thursday recanted his story of the night of Bread's death testified yesterday that he did not know anything about the connection between a 19-year-old Lawrence man and the death of Christopher Bread. In the statement, Ray said he and Schaal had visited Michelle Hildebrand in Eudora, drank 48 beers between he and Schaal in a four-hour period and returned to Lawrence via 15th Street. He said that Schael, who was driving, ran into a large object, but continued to Lawrence. Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to bring the missing witness, Wendy Fraizer, to court. Neither the deputies nor Fraizer had arrived at 5 p.m., when King recessed the court for the evening. In Lawrence, the two took a moped from a house next door to where they were staying and returned to 15th Street and found what appeared to be the dead body of an American Indian one to two feet off to the side of the road, according to the statement. While there, a pick-up truck drove by and stopped. Ray said that Schaal spoke with a person in the truck, but did not hear the conversation. After that, the two returned to Schaal's house and went to bed. Yesterday, Schaal said that he did not remember any of the events from that evening. because I don't know nothing, he said. Ray's interview with authorities lasted from 9:10 p.m. February 29 to 10 a.m. the next day. "I said it so I could out of there, because I don't know nothing," he said. Schaal said that he did not remember much about the month of March 1990 and that he was tired of being questioned by authorities. "I was tired of being harassed," he said. "I don't know what I was doing." Detective Bob Van Hoesen said Ray was allowed to smoke and was offered soft drinks and food during the inter- service period. He could not recall the exact number. Douglas County Sheriff's detectives testified that Ray was not harassed by authorities during their interview. No threats or promises were made toward Ray during the interview, Van Hoesen said. Detective Katherine Tate said Ray gave his statement to her. "He was aware he was not under arrest." he said. She said that Ray gave many different accounts of the evening of Bread's death before dictating and signing the statement, but that he appeared relieved after identifying himself and Schaal from composite drawings. "He slumped in a chair and breathed a sigh of relief, "Tate said. "He said he felt better. He said he didn't want to be sick ififying or he would lose all his friends." Many defense witnesses refuted parts of Ray's statement. Hildebrand said that she did not meet Schaal until a New Year's Eve Party in 1991. WEATHER Today high: 62 low: 42 Forecast by Andy Kula, KU Weather Service: 864-3300 A videocassette recorder valued at $200 was taken between 5:30 and 8:30 a.m. Sunday from a house in the 1300 block of Ohio Street. Three KU students who live in the house were sleeping when the recorder was taken, Lawrence police reported. ON THE RECORD A microwave valued at $188 was taken between 6 a.m. March 10 and 8:50 p.m. Sunday from a graduate student's apartment in the 900 block of Illinois Street. The front door of the apartment had been opened forcibly, Lawrence police reported. City commission will discuss police policy,business growth Kansanstaffreport Lawrence city commissioners expect to burn the midnight oil tonight when they discuss recent reports about police procedures and downtown business development, issues that have concerned local residents. The commission will hear recommendations from a citizens' panel that investigated Lawrence police procedures on deadly force, domestic disturbance calls, minority hiring and citizen complaints. The report, released in January, was called for by Mayor Bob Walters in June after Lawrence American Indians complained about the police department's handling of the April 21 shooting of Gregg Sevier. Sevier, an American Indian, was shot and killed by two Lawrence police officers. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will present a list of recommendations for improving downtown businesses. The report, which was released in January, calls for improved accessibility to downtown, more parking, a greater variety of businesses and available land for future construction. David Corliss, city management analyst, said that because of the lengths of the reports, the commissioners would not be taking any comments from the public regarding these issues until the commission's March 24 meeting. He said that discussion of the reports would begin at 6:30 p.m. The regular meeting will start at 4 p.m., and the commissioners will try to finish regular agenda items before 6:30 p.m. The commission also will vote to approve the first reading of an ordinance that would require the city to further its jurisdiction over local drinking laws as they apply to the KU campus. The second reading will be voted on at next week's meeting. "An ordinance will not become effective until it is approved in two readings and published in the official city paper," Corliss said. If the ordinance is ratified, it would more than likely go into effect before the NCAA Final Four on April 4 and 6. YOU DON'T NEED A COUPON! YOU DON'T NEED A CO(IPON!
