THE BATTALION
Police arrest two teen
for stabbing of professoto
NEW CASTLE, Ind. (AP) —
Two teen-agers wanted in the stab
bing deaths of two Dartmouth Col
lege professors were arrested Mon
day after authorities acting on a
hunch used a CB radio to lure the
boys to an Indiana truck stop.
James Parker, 16, and Robert Tul-
loch, 17, were captured peacefully
before dawn at an Interstate 70 truck
stop more than 700 miles from the
site of the slayings in Hanover, N.H.
Suspects arrested
On Monday, police in New Castld, Ind.
arrested two suspects in the Jan. 27
murder of two Dartmouth College
professors. Two boys matching the
supects’ desciptions were seen
Friday in Sturbridge, Mass.
Sgt. William Ward of the Henry
County Sheriff’s Department said he
heard a trucker say he was carrying
two teens who were looking for a ride
to California.
Ward, who had seen television re
ports that the Dartmouth suspects
might be headed to California, got on
the CB and suggested the teens might
find a ride at the Flying J truck stop
south of New Castle.
“I just said, ‘Why don’t you drop
them off at the fuel desk and some
one will pick them up in a few min
utes?’ ” Ward said.
The teens were caught a short
time later as they were asking anoth
er trucker for a ride. Said Ward: “It
was a long shot, and I didn’t expect
it would be them.”
Parker and Tulloch are charged as
adults with two counts of first-de
gree murder in the deaths of Half and
Susanne Zantop, whose bodies were
found in their home Jan. 27.
Henry County Sheriff Kim Cronk
said Monday the pair will appear in
court Tuesday morning for an extra
dition hearing unless they waive ex
tradition from New Castle, which is
40 miles east of Indianapolis, to New
Hampshire.
Attorney Robert Katims, who is
representing Parker, said the boy’s
parents were on their way to Indi
ana. He said no decision had been
made on whether thetak AUS PI
waive extradition. SeRlhope:-

Supreme Court to hear argument in marijuamutZ
FLORENCE, Ore. (AP) — Nine years ago, members
of a narcotics task force stopped in the early morning
darkness in front of Danny Lee Kyllo’s house and
scanned it with a thermal imaging device.
The task force was investigating whether Kyllo’s
neighbors were growing marijuana. When they trained
the thermal scanner on Kyllo’s home, it showed indica
tions of excessive heat.
Based on that scan, electricity records and an infor
mant, investigators got a search warrant to enter Kyllo’s
home, where they found more than 100 marijuana plants
growing under high-intensity lights.
Kyllo contends that his Fourth Amendment rights
were violated because the officers did not obtain a search
warrant to scan his house with the thermal imager. He
pleaded guilty to a federal charge, but reserved the right
to appeal the search.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral ar
guments on his appeal.
Though Kyllo faces only a month in jail if the high
court rules against him, experts say the case is likely to
bring out an important new definition of the legal limits

Bush opens Oklahoma City museu
OKLAHOMA CITY
(AP) — President Bush
opened a museum com
memorating the 1995 Ok
lahoma City bombing
Monday, imploring Amer
icans to “confront evil,
wherever and whenever” it
exists in a nation vulnera
ble to senseless violence
and terrorism.
“The presence of evil
always reminds us of the
need for vigilance,” Bush
said in a solemn address.
The emotional ceremo
ny began with 168 seconds
of silence — one second
for each life lost in the rub
ble of the Alfred P. Murrah
Federal Building. Only the
whistling, wintry wind and
the rippling of an Ameri
can flag could be heard
outside the Oklahoma City
National Memorial Center,
where nearly 1,500 people
gathered less than 100
yards from the site of the
worst act of terrorism on
U.S. soil.
A grim-faced Bush
toured the museum, stop
ping to hear a recording of
the explosion from a near
by building and the yelps
of panic that followed.
“Very touching,” he said of
the tour.
He signed his name to a
registry, with the words:
“God Bless.” First lady
Laura Bush wrote, “With
love,” and signed her
name, too.
Jeannine Gist, mother
of one of the victims, took
Bush into a room covered
with photos of those who
