Judge sentences murderer to seven life-prison terms
TOPEKA — Allen County District Judge John White yesterday sentenced Nathaniel J. "Worike" Smith to seven life terms in prison and demanded an investigation of his parole two months before the start of a murder scree in Iola.
under spree in loud White, who denied a motion for a new trial, also said he asked the Allen County Bar Association to investigate the "unexcusable" handling of the case by County Attorney Douglas Price.
handling of the case by County Attorney Mark Smith is to serve the seven life sentences and 145 years to 285 years on nine other sentences consecutively. On the life sentences alone, he would not be eligible for parole for 105 years, White said.
"It is difficult to imagine that the crimes could have been committed in a more brutal fashion," White said after sentencing Smith. "At some point a person forfeits his right to live in a free society."

Computer center wants off-campus users to pay
By PAUL SEVART Staff Reporter
The cost of doing business with Ma Bell and a desire to upgrade service have caused the Academic Computing Center to propose charging those who use the computer by off-campus phone lines.
Dave Nordlund, assistant director of technical services at the center, said yesterday that service to the outside lines cost the computer center about $30 a month for each of 10 line centers. The center costs much more on service to terminals on the University's phone system or to those connected directly to the computer.
That extra cost has been absorbed into the center's budget since 1976, when the center quit charging off-campus users $50 a month, Nordlund said. Meanwhile, the number of off-campus users has continued to grow.
Change of site is requested in local trial
The defense attorney for the man charged with the first-degree murder of Harry Puckett filed this week for a change of venue, saying the detention opportunity for an imprisoned trial had been jeopardized by "adverse public."
the motion was filed by Stanton Hazlett, attorney for James Chadwick Fourhour, 27, 824 Arkansas St. Fourhorn has also been charged with breaking in of Pocket's home sometime either June 24 or early June 25.
The change of venue motion is a request that a trial be moved from the location where the crime was committed or the cause of action occurred because the court is liable to be prejudiced.
The requested charge to users is 1 cent a minute, Nordlund said, and is being reviewed by two administrative committees.
NORDLUND SAID that from 200 to 300 students and faculty have the capability to use the computer from off-campus. The computer has ports to accommodate 10 of those users at a time, he said, and those are often all in use on a busy weekend.
In the motion for a change of venue, the defense said that because of the "extreme and adverse publicity in the various news media in this area, the defendant cannot receive a fair trial by an impartial jury in Douglas County."
Several customers have asked the center to install more ports and to use a type of port that would allow faster exchange of information between the computer and the terminal, Nordlund said. Some of the money from the fee would go to buy more and faster ports.
Most computer accounts have a number of computer resource units, or CRUs, and a cash amount. The cash in those accounts is paid by a department to the computer center for uses such as printing output, Nordlund said.
"That's real money, which those departments can't then use to buy pencils or paper or hand out syllabuses," Nordlund said.

SMITH SAID some students would not be able to use the terminal if they printed much of their computer output. The University should encourage use of the off campus terminals, because it will help the load at the campus sites, he said.
