Man held over for trial in slaying
By Joe Harder Kansan staff writer
A man charged in the shooting death of a rural Lawrence man was ordered held over for trial after the dead man's live-in girlfriend testified yesterday in a Douglas County District Court preliminary hearing.
Valerie Hartley, a 23-year-old dancer and companion of Tracey L. Robbins, a 32-year-old construction company owner, was questioned by attorneys for nearly two hours regarding the events leading up to Robbins' death three weeks ago.
She was the only witness to testify yesterday.

James P. Ladlow, 24, whom court records show had been living in the basement of Robbins' house for four months, is charged with first-degree murder, the attempted first-degree robbery, and $500 in cash and a 1983 Mercury
Judge James Paddock ordered Ludlow held for trial on all three counts. He will be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 4.
According to authorities, Robbins died of a gunshot wound to the chest early Nov. 22 in his house two miles south of Lawrence on U.S. 59.
After describing Saturday's events before the shootings, Harley testified that she and Robbins were in the car after the attack and knocked him to unload the dishwasher.
"Tracey opened the dishwasher, and then Jim shot Tracey," she said. Hartley said she was facing Robbins with her back toward the basement stairs, and when she turned around, Ludlow was on the top step with a rifle.
She said she ducked behind a counter in the middle of the kitchen, looked up and saw Ludlow pointing
the gun at her head.
"Isaid, 'Please don't shoot me, I have a baby,' Hartley said. "I guess he stalled."
Ludlow said she started to run toward a door leading outside, whena bullet knocked her down. Another shot struck the floor about one foot from her head. Ludlow then entered the bedroom she shared with Robbins, and she thought he took five $100 bills that belonged to her.
Ludlow got into the car and drove north on U.S. 59. Hartley testified.
She said that when he stepped over her body, he put his hand on her back to see if she was still breathing and rolled her over. When Ludlow returned to the kitchen, she got up and ran out the door and heard another shot.
Authorities arrested Ludlow in Aberdeen, S.D., where Hartley said she thought he had gone to visit his girlfriend.
