roll of bills to his uncle in New York, warning the uncle at the time to tell police, if he was ques- toned, that Alexander had been in New York all during the night of the Armour burglary. The charge of tampering with a state witness was brought against Churchelow and Burns when she said on the stand that last week Churchelow and Burns had given her $s0 to leave town so that she would not testify in court, and later urged her to say, if she did appear, that confession she had made was false and was given only when po- lice promised her $2O0. Her testi- mony failed to duplicate John Giles, third suspect, and he was discharged by Judge Mascolo on the breaking and entering charge.
 Demand for Arrest
 When the cases of Churchelow and Burns on the tampering charge were called this morning, the state called Miss Brazil, or Brasnicki, to the stand. It was at this point that Attorney Blansfleld made his demand that a warrant for her ar rest be issued.
 'I have no control over that, said Judge Mascolo. Tt is entirely up to the state."
 "The state refuses to grant such g warrant, forcibly declared Pros ecutor Mitchell Meyers.
 Under the statutes, Attorney Blansfieid claimed, this Brasnicki girl Is equally guilty. Didn't she produce $25 here yesterday"
 Judge Mascolo then began an explanation that the girl appar- ently had no criminal intent for she had given the money to her mother to keep for her.
 Didn't she admit that she spent $5 of the $3O which she said they gave herr" asked Attorney Blans- field.
 That girl should be warned of her constitutional rights" declared Attorney Blansfie1d, Docs she know that she may incriminate herself when she testifies?"
 Prosecutor Meyers objected at this point, claiming that Attorney BlaEsfield was not the girls attor- ney, but the judge overruied the objection on the grounds that Att torney Blansfield was within his rights as a friend of the courts"
 Attorney Guilfoile Upheld
 Another verbal battle began when Attorney Joseph Guilfoile rose and announced that he had already warned the girl and was acting as her counsel. Attorney Blansfield objected to this state tneilt, saying that the girls lawyer had no right to take part, when his client was only a witness. Judge Mascolo upheld Attorney Gull foile's right to speak.
 After all," said Judge Mascolo, ''the question of criminal intent Is important. This girl took the money and gave 1t to her mother to keep till she was to appear in court. Yesterday she appeared, and today she is here and on time.',
 Under force and duress. she's here, we think" Attorney Blans- field commented.
 A short recess was ordered At this time. As Miss Brazil stepped down from the stand, she shrugged her shoulders and said: After all, I'm only telling the truth.
 Edict of Trial Judge
 'so you say.' said Attorney Blanstleld.
 After the recess, Judge Mascolo announced that his court had full Jurisdiction on the tampering charge, continued the cases on that count till April 26. After re- marks on the amount of the bond, by Attorney Biansfieid, Prosecutor Meyers and Attorney George Lynch, the judge set the bond to- tai at $7,O0O. lower by $2,500 than the bond set yesterday.
 Both accused are expected to raise the bonds and so free until the superior court term in April.
