LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ A second man charged in the killing two years ago of retired Topeka jeweler Clarence Boose is due in court May 25th for a preliminary hearing.
Thirty-five-year-old Allen Dale Smith is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated burglary. If Smith is bound over on the charges, his trial will start September 24th.
Smith's cousin Leonard Wayne ``Battle Ax'' Price pleaded guilty in February to felony murder in Boose's slaying and is scheduled to be sentenced May 18th. During Price's preliminary hearing last fall, a detective testified that Price told him Smith shot Boose as the two burglarized his home.
The 77-year-old Boose was shot to death in his home near Lecompton. Boose was the former owner and operator of David's Jewelers in Topeka.

"TRIGGERMAN"? And these people have yet to be convicted by a jury? WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? You think YOU CAN CONVICT someone with your insipid, sensationalistic headlines? This is gross incompetence, unprofessional and typical of WIBW. Journalist are NOT Judge, Jury, OR Executioner. Did you people ever take an ETHICS COURSE? If you did you need a REFRESHER COURSE POST HASTE! This is one more the FCC!
