A Steubenville, Ohio, police captain and an agent with the Ohio Bureau of Investigation this morning testified that they found live, .44-caliber ammunition in the Steubenville home of Nathan "Boo" Herring, along with two bank cards belonging to a murdered college student.

A Chevrolet Blazer belonging to one of the students also contained 26 sets of fingerprints, more .44-caliber ammunition, three jackets, and other items, police said.

Mr. Herring is charged with Terrell Yarbrough, 29, of East Liberty, who is currently being retried in Washington County court for the May 1999 slayings of two Franciscan University of Steubenville students.

Police believe Mr. Yarbrough and Mr. Herring robbed and kidnapped Aaron Land, 20, of Philadelphia, and Brian Muha, 18, of Westerville, Ohio, at their off-campus apartment near the Catholic university.

They are accused of driving the students several miles into Robinson, Washington County, in Mr. Muha's Blazer, and marching them up a steep embankment along Route 22, where the victims were shot.

Though Mr. Yarbrough and Mr. Herring were already convicted nine years ago in Ohio, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the pair should have been tried in Pennsylvania, where the students' bodies were found several days after they went missing on May 31, 1999.

Mr. Herring will be retried after Mr. Yarbrough's trial is completed.

Though forensic experts have yet to explain blood, bullet and fingerprint evidence, police this morning described in detail where they found blood stains in the Blazer and on some clothing seized from Mr. Herring's house.

This morning marked the third day of testimony in the trial, expected to last more than a week.
