ViTiioM of Kft Mincnthinal proKriim for ML Vernon aroii schuoLk WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court ruled today police may not question a suspect if he is alone and "indicates in any manner that he does not wish to be inetrrogated." Chief Justice Earl Warren, writing the court's main opinion, said the prosecution may not use damaging statements unless it is shown that safeguards were taken "to secure the privileges against self-incrimination." The ruling was given in four cases which grew out of the, historic 1964 decifeion which ex- to counsel to a suspect in a police station. Justices John.

M. Harlan, Potter Stewart and Byron R. White dissented in all foul- cases. Justice Toni C. Qark dissented in three cases and concurred with the majority in the fourth.

Warren said a defendant may waive his rights to remain silent and to have an attorney with him, "provided, the waiver is made voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently." "If, however, he indicates in any manner and at any stage of the (questioning) process that he wishes to consult with an attorney before speaking there can be no questioning," the chief ju.stice declared. "Likewise if the individual is alone and indicates in any manner that he does not wish to be interrogated, the police may not question him." Warren went on: "The mere fact that he may have answered some questions or volunteered some statements on his own does not deprive him of the right to refrain from answering any further inquiries until he has consulted with an attorney and thereafter consents to be questioned." Warren said the court: has reexamined its 1954 landmark decision, kown as the Escobedo case, and today reaffirms both the principles announced in it and the decision itself. However, the chief ju.stice there was need lor furtli- er explanation of suspects' rights under police questioning, and he proceeded to lay down the following rules: 1. "The prosecution may not use statements, whether exculpatory or inculpatory, stemming from custodial interrogation of the defendants unless it demonstrates the use of procedural safeguards effective to secure the privilege against self-mcrim- ination." 2. "Prior to any questioning the person must be warned that he has a right to remain silent, that any statement lie does make may be used as evidence against him, and that he has a right to the presence of an attorney, either retained or 3.

"The defendant may waive effectuation of the.se provided the waiver is made voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently." 4. "If however, he indicates In any manner and at any stage of the process that he wishes to consult with an attorney before speaking there can be no questioning." 5.
