The vehicle ran off the east shoulder where it impacted with an Adams Electric pole.

ROTH Times Staff Writer The attorney for a man accused in a 1989 Arendtsville stabbing death argued Tuesday that the state has not established a case against his client. Adams County Public Defender JefFery M. Cook filed a writ of habeas corpus on behalf ofAl varo Rojo Trejo, who is accused of murder and manslaughter in the Sept.

9,1989, death of Cecillia Tolentino. Trejo, who speaks little or no English, needed an interpreter at the hearing. Cook claims that the state presented no eyewitnesses to the murder. Assistant District Attorney Martha J. Duvall called Guadalupe Rojo, 24, of Westminster, to the stand.

Rojo was at the A-Ville Inn the night of the stabbing. Rojo, who also needed an interpreter for some of his testimony, said that he saw Alvaro and another man leave the bar. Rojo testified that the two men acted like enemies. But, he said that he did not see what happened. Duvall confronted Rojo with state- ments he made to Trooper Ivan Taylor whois now investigating the case in which he allegedly said that he saw Trejo chase the other man.

Rojo denied making the statements and said that because of his limited English speaking ability, he misunderstood the questions he was asked. Bar owner, Wayne R. Reedy, testified that he saw Trejo outside the bar. He said that Trejo "had the knife in the left rear pocket and he pulled it out of his pocket." Reedy testified that he told the man to drop it and the man turned his face towards him. During cross examination, Reedy confirmed that at a January preliminary hearing before District Justice Harold R.

DeardorfFhe testified that he did not see the man's face. He said, "I shouldn't have said that." He maintained that he did see Trejo holding the knife. President Judge Oscar P. Spicer took the matter under advisement. Trejo is to be arraigned today.

He is being held without bail in the Adams County Prison. Pa. Senate panel chief wins subpoena power By SHARON L. LYNCH Associated Press Writer HARRISBLiRG (AP) The chairman of the already powerful state Senate Appropriations Committee won broad power Tuesday to subpoena witnesses and documents without notifying the public or other committee members. The committee voted 14-7 in favor of a resolution sponsored by Senate President Pro Tern Robert Mellow, D-Lackawanna, to grant the sweeping authority to Chair- a i Philadelphia.

In all other Senate committees, members vote on whether or not to issue subpoenas. Fumo and his Democratic colleagues also defeated a Republican amendment that would have required Fumo to notify committee members when he exercises his newly established power. "There are many times that you don't want everyone to know you are subpoenaing someone," Fumo said. Confidentiality is necessary in many investigations and people who are subpoenaed still have a nght to personal privacy, he added. Asked if there was an immediate need toissue subpoenas, Fumo said one state agency in particular has dodged his requests for information.

The senator did not name the agency, but he has had an ongoing public feud with Auditor General Barbara Hafer, a Republican, Mark Corrigan, secretary of the Senate, said there was no Senate rule restricting committees from turning subpoena power over to a chairman, but he did not know if it had ever been done in the past. Fumo already wields enormous political influence as Appropriations chairman. The committee handles all spending measures and has more members than any other Senate committee. Earlier this session, Democrats sought to establish a Senate rule that would have allowed all committee chairmen to issue subpoenas, but they withdrew the proposal at the last minute. Fumo had been a vocal supporter of the idea.

He contends committee votes are too cumbersome and could cause problems if a panel needs to issue a subpoena when the Senate is not in session. Proctor (From page 1A) Trooper Ivan Taylor. David King's attorney, Richard Thrasher, argued in the motions that the statement was not made voluntarily and that David King had not properly been informed of his rights. David King allegedly told Trooper Taylor that he had been in Carlisle the night prior to the murder. Judge Spicer ordered that statement suppressed.

A jury is to be selected in Berks County on April 19. The trial will be held in Adams County. Two other defendants, David James Tyler and Roberta Ronique Bell, both of Gettysburg, are scheduled to be tried the week of March 29. A jury is to be selected in Lancaster County. The last defendant, Willie Tyler of Carlisle, is to be tried separately.

That trial may occur in May. Earth (From page 1A) ren's environmental education, led by Heather Tschop, a first grade teacher at Franklin Township Elementary.
