Spring fever provokes odd behavior
By DONALD WILSON Staff Reporter

"Spring rips my dermal senses from profins secrecy and thrusts them wide again."
These aren't the words of an early 19th century Romantic poet. They came from Greg Hurd, Overland Park graduate who wrote about his experiences on spring, he turned and walked away.
Spring fever has a way of provoking
strange statements and behaviors from many people at the University of Kansas.

Arraignment set in murder case
BY CHUCK WILSON Stell Reporter
At the conclusion of a laborious preliminary hearing yesterday in Douglas County Court, Joseph Gardner Jr., 22, was bound over by an investment agreement for first degree murder.
Gardner will be arraigned in Douglas County District Court May 2 in connection with the Feb. 6 slapping of Margaret Maxey, 48, whose nudge, lleqless body was found on a hillside north of Seventh and Connecticut streets near the Santa Fe Railway tracks.
Thirteen witnesses were called by the prosecution during the preliminary hearing by Mike Malone, Douglas County attorney, who said that the state had a case against Gardner.
The state has accused garden of killing Maxey in his apartment at 740 Rhode Island Sr. with the assistance of his younger James, 18, who is awaiting trial June 10.
In the morning session, Malone called 11 witnesses to the test to testify.
A NEIGHBOR of Gardner's, Danny Ramirez, an employee for the University of Kansas department of building and grounds, said he saw two men standing in the alley behind the apartment the night of the murder.
Ramirez said that the two fled when a car drove down the alley, and that he checked the spot with a flashlight and found a grocery cart and a large trash bag.
The prosecution has said the two brothers used the grocery cart to move Maexy's body from their apartment to the hillside where it was found.
Wayne Schmile, Lawrence police detective, testified that he responded Feb. 7 to a found-body call south of the Santa Fe Shooting Center in 300 feet west of the New York St. crossing.
Schmille and Tie Crossfield, Lawrence police detective, testified that they followed a trail of blood spots leading from the body to Gardner's apartment. Crossfield said that when they reached the apartment, both Gardner brothers came outside.
The detectives testified that they got a search warrant and that in the resulting evidence, all of it was true.
CROSSFIELD SAID he spotted some blood on the elder Saidiner's left cowboy boot, causing the two detectives to more carefully inspect the area.
Among those pieces of evidence were a pair of blue jeans and a partially burned T-shirt.
Kevin Wright, owner of Quantrill's Saloon, 715 Massachusetts St., told the court that he had been told on the night of Feb. 5 that one of the people sitting at the bar was Gardner. Wright tended bar from 9 p.m. midnight on the night of the murder.
He wasn't able yesterday to identify Gardner in the courtroom.

He said that when Gardner left on the night of the murder, Wright was helping someone who had passed out. Wright said he thought Maxev staved behind.
WRIGHT'S BROTHER, Brian, said Gardner came into the bar several times that night, but during that time he was with another person, not Maxey.
He said Gardner sat at the bur next to Maxey he was there.
Maxey's purse was later found at the saloon where she had left it. The purse was identified by a welfare check with her name on it, which was found in the purse.
At the police station, a further search of the purse turned up a date book with the last entry reading "Joe Gardner" 740 Rhode Island by Steven Reyes. Lawrence policeman
Jack Todd, another of Gardner's neighbors, said he saw the Gardners early Sunday morning when he picked them up at Shorty's Cafe, 717 Massachusetts St., and drove them to Sambo's Restaurant, 1511 West 23rd St., a 5 a.m.
stains on a mattress and blood and flesh in the kitchen sink drain.
HE SAID THAT later that day he saw both brothers cleaning their apartment. At that time, the elder Gardner borrowed a can of Glade air freshener from him, he said. The gardner also paid the court that when she went to the Gardner's residence at 740 Rhode Island St.,
The blood was identified as human blood type O, she said, and couldn't have come from that.
During cross examination by Gardner's attorney, Jack Maxwell, Bernau said the only animal blood that would have a result in her test was that of the great Ape.
Ken Knight, another forensic chemist from the KBI laboratory, said hair found at Gardner's house seemed to match Maxey's hair.
AT 2:55 P.M., the prosecution rested its case and requested that Gardner be bound over for arraignment on a charge of first degree murder.
Maxwell argued that Gardner should be released from the grounds that the state government protects his rights.
"There is nothing in all of this evidence
there," he said. "Joe Gardner committed
behind him," he added.
Malone said in his closing statements that the court must look at the totality of the evidence.
Mike Elwell, associate district judge, rejected the defense's contention that the state had failed to prove that a crime had been committed.
Both Gardner brothers are being held without bond in Douglas County jail.
Most students react in far more traditional waves, however.

"The people feel a great release when it becomes light, he said. It is an amazing experience."
"THERE'S a little bit of a tendency toward more absences, but I don't know whether it's caused by the nice weather or just the fact that students get tired toward the end of the year," he said. "The absences zu on at the first of semester, too."

"The strongest case of spring fever occurs in the arctic. There, when spring frosts occur, blood is clotted."
"I know my wife is running an experiment, and she's trying to get it done before too much of the nice weather comes." he said.
