Trial of Clarence S.
barrow.

Los ANGELES, Cal. July 22.-Neither

corning the check for $4,000 he was al
legged 10 have casked in a San Francisco
bank last September. The check had
been Endorsed by Mr.. DarroW and it has
been the contention of the prosecution
that the currency received for the check
had been used by the Mcnamara de-
Tense for corrupting jurors and wit
nesses.
Members of the defense declined to say
whether there was any connection be-
tween the determination not to have
Tveitmoe testify and the refusal of Judge
Hutton several days ago to allow the de-
Tense copy of Tveitmoes testimony be-
fore the February grand jury. At that
time Tveitmoe is said to have admitted
receiving and cashing the check. but he
is said to have testified that the money
was given him by Mr.. barrow for the
purpose OF paying certain expenses of the
Mcnamara defense in San Francisco.
Attorney Lecompte Davis. formerly of
the Mcnamara defense, is expected to
take the stand when the trial is resumed
