The women in his family dabbed away tears. Their responses were prompted by Brown County Judge Charles E.

Kuehn as he told Robert Stordeur, 25, 932 Rockwell Road, Howard, that he should stand trial on two counts of first-degree murder. Stordeur blinked rapidly when Kuehn announced his decision. For the last two days prosecutors presented evidence in a preliminary hearing attempting to link Stordeur to the deaths of John Quimby of Green Bay and Mary Maciejewski of Pulaski, both 21. James Quimby is John's father. Not only did Kuehn find "probable cause" that "The state strongly feels that a jury hearing this evidence would have no doubt (in convicting Stordeur)." Assistant district attorney Stordeur committed two murders, the evidence was also "clear and convincing," Kuehn said.

That is a higher level of proof than Kuehn needed to rule that Stordeur should remain held without bond under a new state law.

Law enforcement officials in the city are planning for the unexpected, but say they anticipate no problems, "Right liow we're not aware of anything that would pose a serious problem," said Dennis L.

"Everyone is talking about the visit." And Delores Olsen, executive vice president for the Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce, says her office has been inundated with phone calls from media representatives who need directions to the small city in north-central Wisconsin. "People want to know how you get from the airport to the city, if there are car rentals, about lodging, when the parade starts anything and everything," she said. "It's crazy." But she was quick to point out that the chaos can only mean gold for the Chamber of Commerce. 1 Press-Gazette photos' by Ken Wesely around the courtroom Friday. Brown County Judge William J.

Stocky, well-built, enthusiastic and good at maintaining eye contact. A University of Wisconsin-Madison grad beginning to make his mark in the world as a salesman of livestock feed in the Luxemburg-Casco area. But that is the Manderscheid you see during the week. On Sundays at least eight Sundays this fall the 26-year-old New Holstein native undergoes a curious metamorphosis. He becomes ta-da! Packy Packer.

tfaec Fridaya day like few others at county courthouse Langonkamp Don Langenkamp is the local columnist of the Press-Gazette He encases himself in a foam-rubber-lined suit that transforms him into a chunky butcher with huge shoes, bib overalls, a beard and an enormous Packer helmet. His mission is to waddle around the sidelines at Lambeau Field and Milwaukee County Stadium, inflaming the Packer faithful to a feverish emotional pitch. Packy Packer is a rookie this year, one of 28 first-year mascots fielded by NFL Prrtrwirtiwa Rut MnnrlprsrhpiH ia nn rvilne Stordeur '8 hearing was nearing its end, and when it did end two hours later Kuehn and Naze had only two minutes to rest before Whiting was brought in. His initial appearance on the charge he killed Margaret Anderson was supposed to be relatively simple. But Whiting's attorney, Mary Lou Robinson, told Kuehn she wanted him to dismiss the murder then and there.

And she said Whiting would not speak in court, not even to identify himself. Patience prevailed. Naze brought Whiting's father to the stand to make the identification. Kuehn calmly denied the dismissal motion. For Naze the day was finally done, but not for Kuehn.

He then had to sentence a man for second-degree sexual assault No one in Brown County's legal circle has seen a day like Friday in recent years. No one wants to see one again. That includes District Attorney Peter Naze who, when asked if Friday was the strangest and one of the most trying days he's spent in a courtroom as a prosecutor, replied, "Oh yeah." In the morning before Judge Charles E. Kuehn it was the case of Robert Stordeur, 25. Kuehn and Naze worked through the second day of his emotionally-charged preliminary hearing on two charges of first-degree murder.

They didn't have time for lunch. Lunch hour, in fact, was at first set aside for guards to haul Randolph Whiting, 24, across a hall in the Public Safety Building from the jail to Kuehn 's court so he could be charged with first-degree murder in another case. They didn't have time. ftlMHTfr i II He was a Wisconsin cheerleader in the Madison Camp Randall madhouse during i his opninr vpnr. And he was a Packer cheerleader for the past two seasons.

Ah, but playing Packy Packer presents a new challenge for Manderscheid. Number one, he must make the fans forget the Suspect's father.
