His office offered no comment Saturday, although House prosecutors firmly defended their request and Starr's intervention "What are they afraid of? Are they afraid of our talking to Monica Lewinsky?"

It the White House were to ask us to do that, we would honor that request The White House did not immediately take up Starr's offer. We are respecting the wOl of the Senate and abiding by its procedures, unlike the House managers, spokesman James Kennedy said late Saturday. Meanwhile, congressional sources who spoke on condition of anonymity, said House- prosecutors hoped to interview Ms. Lewinsky Sunday afternoon, but that final plans had notbeenmade. In another development, former Clinton political adviser Dick Morris said he had agreed to meet with the House impeachment managers Sunday afternoon at a House office building.

Clinton's lawyers and Senate Democrats were outraged that House prosecutors sought to interview Ms. Lewinsky before the Senate decides whether witnesses will be called in the impeachment trial, and that they would not be allowed to attend. Harlan's letter to Rehnquist said, "such questioning would violate the Senate's sole authority under the Constitution to try impeachments because Senate trial rules require witnesses to be interviewed with both sides present Harkin said he was asking Rehnquist to use his authority as the presiding officer in the Senate trial to prevent Ms. Lewinsky from being interviewed. White House counsel Charles Ruff said during Saturday's question-and-answer period in the trial: TSTo other lawyer that I know of gets to have a prosecutor sitting in the room with them and saying "talk to these people or your immunity deal is gone and yougotojaiL" Ruff also suggested Starr had wrongly injected himself into the Senate impeachment trial and had become the moving force in the development of the truth and the facts a role the Constitution had reserved for the senators.

It isn't the first time that Starr has been accused of injecting himself in the impeachment drama. Starr's ethics adviser, Sam Dash, abruptly resigned to protest the prosecutor's decision to testify at House impeachment hearings late last year. Dash said Starr had wrongly become an advocate of impeachment Paul McNulty, a spokesman for the 13 Republican House prosecutors, said the interview was necessary for the prosecutors to decide whether to submit Ms. Lewinsky's name to the Senate as a possible trial Clinton has denied the House impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice growing out of his affair with the young woman and efforts to cover it up.

Owens (Continued from page A1) case. Tm going to ask the judge for a change based on these factors." Andrade's original motion included testimony from an expert witness who said his analysis of pretrial news coverage showed, the coverage was "excessive and prejudicial." Dr. Ronald Dillehay, a social psychologist with the University of Nevada, also testified that a survey of North County residents showed more than 80 percent believed Owens was 'probably guilty or definitely guilty" based on their knowledge of the case.

Two members of the 9-woman, 3-man jury reside in Lompoc. Andrade's motion to move the trial will be held tomorrow with opening statement slated for Tuesday. Owens is the second defendant to be tried for the takeoveretyle robbery that resulted in the shooting death of Lompoc resident Christine Crouch and wounding of Octavio Gallardo, also of Lompoc. Marcus Adams, 28, ofLos Angeles, was the first to be tried. He was convicted last year by a Santa Maria jury of an charges and sentenced to 203 years to rife without parole in state prison.

The jury deadlocked on a charge that could have given him a -death sentence. The state is not asking for the death penalty in the Owens case and even offered' a plea agreement of 28 years to life with parole possible after he serves 85 percent of his sentence. Owens rejected the agreement because he fears for his safety in prison if he testifies against the remaining two defendants, according to his attorney. Shauncy Bowen, 25, of Los Angeles, is scheduled for trial on March 1L Police and prosecutors believe Gregory Mitchell, 20, of Lompoc, is the suspect who fired the shots that killed Orriuch and wounded GaUar-do. His trial is set for May 1L Owens' trial expected to last three weeks and he faces a sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted on the felony murder charge.
