Savings for girls and By Monique Sullivan Kew Gardens A St. Albans school girl yesterday testified that a white van found by police near her home was the same one she had earlier seen two 'men jump out of before they gunned down two police officers.

In testimony at the murder trial of Anthony LaBorde and James Dixon York, Carole Hunt, 15, said that on April 16, 1981, she was upstairs in the bedroom of her home at 203rd Street and 116th Avenue when she heard a siren and ran to the window. Mias Hunt told Assistant District Attorney Charles Teatagroesa that a police car appeared to have stopped a van. She testified that she that saw two black men jump out of the van, open fire on the police car, hop back in the van and drive oft! Mias Hunt said she could not identify the gunmen. York, 41, of linden, and LaBorde, 33, of South Ozone Park, are on trial in State Supreme Court before Justice Kenneth N. Browne on charges that they killed Officer John Scarangella, of Valley Stream, and wounded Ids put-.

her, Richard Rainey, of Bayside. Louisa Hunt, Caroles mother, also testified that the van was the same one she saw leave the murder scene. However, she said, she went to the window after Caroles screams, so she did not see the shooting. Det. Walter Thentini, the first officer to arrive at the scene, said he had re sponded to a call of police needing assistance.

Trentini said thus were about 15 to 20 spent shells surrounding the front of the police car. He said, 1 thought it the murder weapon was an automatic since police revolvers do not throw shells. The murder weapon has not been found. Officer Robert Young, who fbund the van on nearby Illion Avenue about 10 minutes after the shooting, initially said that he guarded thevehide for mere than three hours, making sure no evidence was disturbed. After probing from Yorks defense attorney, William Kunstler, Young said that for a major portion of that time he had been directing traffic half a block away while other officers tended the van.

Kunstler and LaBordes attorney, C. Vernon Mason, maintain that police are framing York and LaBorde because of their put activities in the Black Panther party. Their contention is that eyewitnesses, including Officer Rainey and a cook, Charles George, who wu passing by in a taxi at the time of the shooting, are parroting descriptions police gave them. During a break in the trial yesterday, LaBordes mother reprimanded the two defendants for their appearance. She complained that they were not wearing the shirts die sent them.

LaBorde said that security wu retaining the clothes. The trial will continue on Tuesday. 25 off (original prices) Girls terry shorts and tops. Cool, comfortable and perfect for the beach or backyard. Short sleeve tops match pull-on shorts for 2T-14.
