Gusciora, 36, now in a Pittsburgh jail; Joseph S. Banfield, 45, now dead; Anthony Pino, 48; Michael V. Gcagatt, 47; Vincent J.

Costa, 41; Joseph F. McGinnis, 52; Adolph Maffie, 44; Henry Baker, 49; Richardson; Faherty; and O'Keefe himself, who was brought from a Springfield jail to testify. O'Keefe told this startling story of the fabulous theft: The robbery had been planned for a year and a half and during that time, the robbers made frequent visits to the Brink's plant at night to remove locks from doors, have keys made for them and return them without the single night watchman becoming suspicious. The robbers didn't need help from the Brink's em- ploye was on the job because the group had keys to "every lock in the joint," O'Keefe said be decided to talk because he didn't get his share of the loot. But, Boston newspapers hinted there were other reasons he decided to tell all to the authorities.

newspapers quoted unidentified sources as saying O'Keefe feared for his life at the hands of his underworld friends after he was released from Hampden County Jail in Springfield, where he was due for freedom next month after serving time on an bid gun carrying charge. O'Keefe was the target of at least one attempt on his life. In June, 1954, a machine gun was turned on him in a Dorchester housing project. Police believe the gun was wielded by Elmer (Trigger) Burke, a New York killer-for- hire, now under death sentence for murder in New York. Meanwhile, those indicted and captured were held in high $120,000 for McGinnis; $110,000 for the Suffolk County Dist.
