SPRINGFIELD, ILL. (AP) — Treasured artifacts associated with President Abraham Lincoln were on the auction block Wednesday, May 21, separated from a collection that was intended to be available for public display forever but wound up in the middle of an interagency feud amid a lingering $8 million debt. The blood-stained leather gloves that were in Lincoln’s pocket the night he was assassinated were among the 144 items up for bid, 136 of which sold.

In the end, the rivalry was too valuable to abandon. University of Richmond football coach Russ Huesman discovered that William & Mary would be joining the Spiders in the Patriot League through John Hardt, UR’s vice president and director of athletics. “That surprised me,” said Huesman.

Since then, he became a Terp after one redshirt season as a Spider, though he wasn’t looking to leave UR, according to Huesman.

(AP) — Overnight parking for long-haul truckers at interstate rest stops is critically short and was a key contributor to a 2023 Greyhound bus crash in Illinois that killed three people, federal regulators said Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board said driver fatigue and poor company oversight of its drivers also played key roles when the Greyhound bus exited Interstate 70 onto a rest area ramp east of St. Louis and struck three semitrailers parked on the shoulder.
