Suspects in stabbing death arraigned By Josh Funk Senior staff writer Lincoln’s weekend stabbing victim was killed during an argument over $500, according to court documents filed Wednesday. Only one of the three suspects arraigned Wednesday afternoon was charged with first-degree murder, while the other two were charged as accessories. Lawrence Barry, 38, was charged with murder for stabbing James Allen, 38, Saturday night. Barry's bond was set at 10 percent of$l million dollars. Barry’s wife, Jennifer Irwin-Barry. 20, who was charged as an accessory, told police Sunday her husband admit ted to killing Allen. Irwin-Barry's bond was set at 10 percent of S100,000. Barry went to Allen’s apartment, 1635 F St. Apt. 2, around 7 p.m. Saturday to look for $500 and Larry Welch, 44, who was also charged as an accessory Wednesday. Welch’s bond was also set at 10 percent of $100,000. Both Welch and Irwin-Barry ini tially lied to police about their knowl edge of or involvement in the crime. Irwin-Barry was charged as an accessory after the fact for denying knowledge of the murder. Welch is accused of helping Barry dispose of evidence, so he was charged with accessory to murder. Police documents filed in court Wednesday describe the events leading up to Allen’s murder. Neighbors and the people who dis covered the body said all three suspects had been at Allen’s apartment Saturday, and were the last ones seen with Allen alive. Police said Allen and Barry got into an argument between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. that ended when Allen was killed. In the police reports filed Wednesday, it is unclear whether Welch was present during the attack or when he may have left the apartment. Barry said he had gone to the apart ment to pick up Welch in the early evening, but he denied any argument. Irwin-Barry and Welch told police that after the murder, Barry put his clothes into a garbage sack, which Welch threw in a trash bin behind WaiMart, 27th and Superior streets. At 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Allen was found dead with two knives stuck in his back when two friends came to his apartment. Welch came back to Allen’s apart ment Sunday, and police took him to the station for questioning, where he admitted his involvement in the crime. Barry and Irwin-Barry were arrest ed around 6 p.m. Sunday near Daywatch, 19th and R streets. Preliminary hearings for all three suspects were scheduled for late April: Barry on April 21 and Irwin-Berry and Welch on April 23. Moeser sheds light on ‘Good Friday’ e-mail ByIevaAugstums Senior staff writer University e-mail users who expect an extra treat in their Easter basket this year - an additional day off - won’t be frolicking through the fields m search of eggs April 2. Instead, they will have to wait until April 4 to receive their chocolate, jelly beans and marshmallow chickens. Although a few University of Nebraska-Lincoln students tried to unite their peers via e-mail and requested the Good Friday holiday off, university officials were not con vinced. “It’s a hoax. The e-mail is false,” UNL Chancellor James Moeser said. “There will be classes.” The e-mail, originating from a fic titious person, Dennis Shields, whose fictitious title was University of Nebraska Admissions counselor, requested all UNL users of the bigred e-mail system to forward the message, asking for Moeser to cancel all classes April 2. “In order to do this, as a student body, we must all show our strong bond. I suggested that we should start a cham e-mail,” the message said. The e-mail said a meeting was con ducted with Moeser and Associate to the Chancellor Herb Howe, which sup posedly resulted in the understanding. Moeser said the meeting did not occur. Larry Routh, University of Nebraska-Lincoln director of admis sions, said Shields was not an employ ee of his office. “No such person exists,” Routh said. "I guess this is proof people can’t believe everything they read over e mail and the Internet.” Moeser and other university offi cials received the e-mail Wednesday morning. Laughing, Moeser said whomever the source of the e-mail was, they were "trying to have some fun.” Administrators said they began working on stopping the e-mail’s dis semination as soon as they found out. Moeser said he was not too con cerned about finding who started the e mail. "We are going to try to stop the transmission through the bigred serv er,” Moeser said. "Nothing more than that.” Dave Spanel, UNL information services systems coordinator, said the university has no way to moderate e mail forwards distributed by students. “We can't prevent e-mail being for warded,” Spanel said. Spanel said for warding was a normal e-mail privilege. Spanel said however, the universi ty does regulate distribution lists sent e-mail users through bigred and other university servers, pending approval by a vice chancellor. Moeser said he thought the e-mail was amusing, but he encouraged stu dents to be more productive with their time. "I hope students have better things to do with their time than forward e mails like this,” Moeser said. “I say, get back to your studies, or do something more worthwhile.” Senior editor Lindsay Young contributed to this report.
