Trial
continued from d. 1
Harmon said that he then asked Bell whether he had killed Seurer, and that Bell again asked whether he would go to jail or be charged.
Harmon said that he told Bell that any decision would be made by the district attorney on the basis of their interview, and it was his job whether he had killed Seurer. Bell said he did.
Susan Seurer testified yesterday morning that Bell told her he had an affair with Beth Seurer, the Seurers' 18-year-old daughter. Bell told Susan Seurer that her daughter had had an abortion, she testified. But she said she never told her husband.
Harmon said Bell told him that on the morning of Aug. 2 Bell went jogging and when he ran by Pop's Bar-B-Q he decided to go to the restaurant and ask again for his job.
Bell said Seurer asked him if he wanted a soft drink, Harmon said, but Bell declined
then went to the washroom. When he returned from the washroom, he saw two letters addressed to Bobby Bell, picked them up, looked at them, and then put them down.
Bell said he then asked Seurer to give him his job but Seurer turned him down, Harmon testified, saying that business was not good. Seurer went to a sink to wash his hands and asked Bell whether he was asking for his job back because he needed money.
They continued to talk with their backs to each other, Harmon said. Harmon said that Bell told him Seurer then either pushed or bumped him. Bell said he then saw a knife on top of a counter grabbed it and hit Seurer in the back with it. Harmon testified.
Harmon said Bell told him Seurer turned and asked Bell what he was doing. Harmon said that Bell then told him he stabbed Seurer in the chest.
Harmon testified that Bell said he then
went to the front of the restaurant, saw two money bags and put them and the knife in a bag.
Harmon said Bell told him he spent about $300 of the money and put some of it in a jar. "It's not very big," he said.
Harmon testified that Bell told him threw the knife in Clinton Lake.
Harmon said he had not considered Bell a suspect until Bell's fingerprints were found.
Harmon said Bell said the knife was a pickle knife. The knife has not been recovered, although Harmon testified that members of the Lawrence Police Department and the Sheriff's Department searched for it for two days in August.
Associate District Judge Mike Elwell said a trial date would be set at 11 a.m. Tuesday. He suggested that the trial should begin by the later part of October.

Reaction
The Soviet Union does not have diplomatic relations with South Korea but is friendly with North Korea.
Lee, born and raised in South Korea, was in Seoul three weeks ago, he said. He said he had spoken with the assistant minister of foreign affairs there about South Korean foreign policy.
Although the South Korean government has made recent attempts to establish diplomatic relations with North Korea,

said. The IPU will be a conference of parliaments from many countries.
The minister, Sang Ock Lee, said it was standard foreign policy for South Korea to try to improve its relations with the Soviet Union, Lee said.
has refused to comply because of its military alliance with North Korea, he said.
"In a diplomatic sense, it's a bilateral issue between the Soviet Union and South Korea," he said.
Because of an undetermined number of Americans on board the airliner that was headed to Seoul from New York, U.S. interests are also deeply involved, he said.
Secretary of State George Sulltz said yesterday that eight Soviet jets had tracked the 748 jumbo jet during the two-and-a-half hours it was in Soviet airspace.
Lee said that if the Soviets had tracked the airliner for that period of time, then the Soviets would have been able to identify it.
had time to consult Moscow on the matter and receive a decision from the Kremlin.
"If that is the fact, we can be assured that decision was not localized," he said.
"It so, that makes it but the more serious.
Roy Laird, KU professor of Soviet East
Eastern Europe," said a news service was that the shooting was an accident by a local command or a "trigger-happy" pilot.
"If so, that makes it all the more serious."
But he now doubts that it was an accident, he said.
"Nothing is done unless it's a clear command from Moscow," he said.
with a friend who would accompany her for most of her life. That friend, Lydia A. Lindsey, went with Hansen to Miyagi and began the department of English there.

Laird said the key issue was to find out whether the shooting was deliberately done.
Their lives, according to Thomas C. Ryther, who catalogued the Hansen collection, "were so intertwined that in their papers, particularly in the book, there are so many instances they cannot be separated."
Watanabe said their identities were so intermingled that some students at Miyagi College referred to a mythical "Hansen Lindsey."
Hansen's effects, which were donated by the Dane Hansen Memorial Museum Association, form an overwhelming portrait which Watanabe said he had only begun to visualize. For instance, a single letter, draped over a row of boxes on a table, was 9 feet long. Hansen written to her for this purpose, in the back of thin, colored Japanese rice paper — of her first impressions, her new surroundings.
But the collection is more than letters. It is photographs, small and fading, of Hansen in India or Tokyo or at home in Kansas; it is grades and KU memoranda; postcards and wills.
The men broke into laughter on finding two sets of small flashcards, each with a Japanese character on one side and the English translation on the other.
"She must have tried to learn Japanese."
Morimichi Watanabe said. "I don't know how"
it is done.
The brothers are not sure of her language prowse, but her accomplishments in teaching have not gone unnoticed. According to KU Alumni Association records, Hansen was honored in 1985 by the association with the scholarship for her work in teaching. Watanabe said the emperor of Japan awarded the Fourth Order of the Rising Sun to Hansen and Lindsay in 1981.
Hansen won that award after her return to Japan in 1947 from the United States. Like all Americans, she had to leave Japan during World War II. Watanabe said. The conditions for her re-entry were somewhat unusual, according to Watanabe's description of the collection index. To be allowed back into Japan, he wrote, Hansen had to have a month's supply of food and a wood burning stove.
The destruction wrought by the war has now brought Watanabe from a country with thousands of years of culture to the neophyte America in search of a part of Japanese history. Watanabe said the records of Miyagi College were destroyed in 1945, even something as small as the schedule of courses, which he found in the houses, would be valuable to the college, he said.
But Watanabe did not come here just to rummage. He said he was searching the Spencer collection to discover why Hursen choose Miyagi as his home town. He told me that missionary to begin the music department there
He described the northern Japan into which Hansen and Lindsey ventured in 1967 as less developed and less open to the West than areas to the south of Sendai, where the college is located. He said Sendai was the largest city in northern Japan, with a population of about 250,000 then.
"It must have been hard for her to just get there and get started." Watanabe said. "That area is a little less advanced than the rest."
Watanabe said many Japanese thought the American missionaries there were sponsored by the government or by the large churches, and he wanted to show that some of the "little nations" such as Hansen, from smaller denominations, made the effort on their own to come to the country.
"Many Americans made a great saerifice"
Watanabe said. "It must have been difficult
