Witnesses at Nichols Trial Indicate Unknown Associate of McVeigh
.... The surprise testimony came from Lea McGown, owner of the Dreamland Motel in Junction City, Kan. She .... told jurors McVeigh asked her as he checked in April 14, 1995, to tell anyone looking for him that he had gone to get a haircut at Gracieâs, a beauty shop. She said later a young man "came by," asking either for McVeigh or the guest in Room 25. She said the man -- age 25 to 30 -- walked up to the motel from the interstate. She said she gave the man directions to Gracieâs. She also repeated her claims of hearing McVeigh and one or two other men talking in the room just before midnight April 15 or 16, 1995. She described one speaker as having a velvety, deep, self- assured voice. And, she said she saw McVeigh with two Ryder trucks, one April 16, 1995, and the other April 18, 1995. .... defense attorneys contend there is evidence another Ryder truck was used in the plot. Jurors Thursday also heard from Jeff Davis, who delivered moo goo gai pan and egg rolls to McVeighâs room April 15, 1995. He said the guest was not McVeigh. He explained how he remembered the delivery, one of 17 that night. "It was late. I got a tip. That was highly unusual." If you want to stay inconspicuous in Junction City, Kansas, donât tip delivery persons from Chinese restaurants. The first defense witness Thursday was FBI forensic artist Raymond Rozycki, who did the drawings of John Doe No. 1 and John Doe No. 2 from the descriptions of an auto mechanic at Elliottâs Body Shop. .... Defense attorneys plan to put on about 200 witnesses over the next three weeks. Posted by: Mike Sylwester 2004-05-07 |
