STATE
TOPEKA — A veteran Geary County district judge on Monday pleaded guilty to filing false expense accounts, then resigned his judgship and gave up his law license.
THE UNIVERSITY DIRY KANSAN
TUESDAY DECEMBER 5 2006
Judge Larry Bengtson pleaded
guilty to six counts of official misconduct and one count of filing a false claim. He was placed on a year's probation and ordered to pay a $5,000 fme.
Ron Keefover, spokesman for the state judicial branch, said Bengston also resigned his judgement, effective Monday, and gave up his law license. Bengston admitted that he filed expense
vouchers for trips he never took and that he called a couple planning to be married, told them a judge wasn't available and persuaded them to reschedule, so he could be paid for the ceremony.
Bengston served in the 8th Judicial District, which includes Geary. Dickinson, Marion and Morris counties.

Laurence Weatherly, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, demonstrated his new research that sought to make the biodiesel fuel creation process faster, more efficient and less expensive.
Her research involved the effects of the vibrations during and after exposure and what could be done to alleviate the stress on the body exposed to constant vibrations.
Moran said he saw the potential for economic benefits from the research.
