...charges that include failure to notify authorities of the bombing plot. Jurors today also saw the mangled rear axle from the Ryder rental truck that carried the explosives. An identification number, found on the 250-pound axle, was traced to a Ryder truck rented from a body shop in Junction City, Kansas. Employees there helped produced the sketches that led to McVeigh's arrest. Among other evidence introduced today: a crumpled business card with McVeigh's fingerprints from Paulsen's Military Supply in Wisconsin on which was scribbled, "TNT at $5 a stick. Need more...

In a recent interview with author Gerald Posner, she said in her years managing a motel frequented by prostitutes, she learned how to spot men registering under false names.

Nichols owned a home in Herington, Kansas, about 20 miles south of Junction City. The prosecution contends that on April 16 McVeigh parked his Mercury in Oklahoma City and then Nichols drove him back to the Dreamland. Several people saw the car parked near the Murrah building before the bombing. Prosecutors will introduce a handwritten note McVeigh left on the car saying it had a bad battery, ensuring that no one would...
