Killers He said that in January of last year the FBI received in formation "two individuals were coming to the San Francisco area to kill someone." Mr. Condon, who said he's known Mr. Baron for some time, said "we did not know the identity of the Intended victim," but it was believed the victim was to be Mr.

Baron. He said he "advised" Mr. Baron of the impending danger at that time, Mr. Baron yesterday testified he talked to Mr. Condon while he was in jail in Massachusetts in July of 1970.

Mr. Fahey asked Mr. Condon if at that time Mr. Baron told him he was negotiating with the Mafia to change the testimony he had given against the Mafia in 1968 "I respectfully decline to an swer that question upon instruc tions from the attorney general of the United States," Mr. Condon replied.

District Attorney Hyland re marked, "We'll respect and no further questions were asked of the witness, FBI Agent Rico also testified he knew of attempts on Mr, Baron's life by the Mafia and told Mr. Baron about them. He said he recalled be told iMr. Baron that "we had infor mation one of his friends was murdered by the Cosa Nostra iand that they were intending to kill him."

Baron that the Mafia, during their trials in 1968, had blown up Mr. Baron's attorney's car with the attorney in it. The attorney lost one leg and part of another, "I told lum this pointed out the seriousness of their efforts," Mr. Rico said. On cross examination, Mr.

Fahey asked him if Mr. Baron had indicated to him last year that he was negotiating with the Mafia to change his 1968 testi mony. Mr. Rico did not claim the same privilege as Mr. Condon, but replied that Mr.

Baron acknowledged that in the letters he denied any connection with Mr. Wilson's killing and contended ne was being "framed" by Ray Pinole, whom he accused of doing the actual killing. The prosecutor's purpose for reading the letters was to show prior inconsistent statements and that Mr. Baron at first did not claim self defense as he did in the courtroom. Mr.

Fahey also produced an affidavit Mr. Baron signed on July 28, 1970, while he was in Walpole State Prison. Recant? The affidavit, drawn up by Attorney F. Lee Bailey, was the one in which Mr. Baron said he wanted to recant some of the testimony he gave at the 1968 Mafia trials.

Mr. Baron acknowledged he signed the affidavit under oath and that it does say, "I wish to recant" testimony he gave a8a.inst Tameleo, Lbnone, Sal vati and Greco and that the "testimony I now offer will be the whole truth known to me." Asked if he ever recanted his testimony, Mr. Baron replied. "Never I said I refused to recant." Are you saying that what you said in this affidavit is not true? Mr. Fahey asked.

Mr. Baron did not respond. "Did you later indicate to the authorities that that document was not true?" After a long pause, Mr. Baron replied, "I didn deny it, signed it. I refused to recant That it wasn't true? It wasn't clearly understood by me." Mr.

Fahey got Mr. Baron to admit that the document was what the Mafia was paying him $300,000 for, but Mr. Baron add ed, "I was fooling them." Reconstruction Mr. Fahey also had Mr. Bar on reconstruct, as Mr.

tsaron did for Mr. Miller last Friday, the shooting of Mr. Wilson near Glen Ellen. Mr. Fahey called upon Sheriff's Identification Techni cian Howard Finger, a man about the same stature as the victim was, to play the role of! the victim.

In a more vigorous manner than he did Friday, Mr. Baron demonstrated with Mr. Finger how he wrenched the gun away from Mr. Wilson and knocked him to the ground, ending up with the victim's gun in hand, way arrows here indicate way for shoppers to reach Shopping Center than by south entrance to Codding or continuing north on the east entry.

Officials from the dexlue coastal development are not pleased with the county's pro posal to construct 50 camping sites in a large meadow adjacent to their property. So they will give the county 25 acres of heavily wooded land on the other side of the park for a camping site. The Gualala Park site was originally dedicated to the county by Oceanic Properties as part of approval of the Sea Ranch Development. The park site was dedicated in lieu of providing coastal public access routes through the development other points along the coast. construction was that Mr.

Baron fell on top of Mr. Finger in the courtroom and he said he did not fall on top of Mr. Wilson in Glen Ellen. Mr. Fahey completed his cross-examination of Mr.

Baron by getting him to admit that he was convicted of two felonies on Jan. 25, 1967, in Suffolk County, Mass. One conviction, he admitted, was for carrying a double-edged knife in a car and the other was for illegally carrying a gun. He said he was sentenced for not less than four years and not more than five years in prison, given credit for 113 days, he'd served prior to sentencing and actually got out of jail on Sept. 19.

1970. After that, he said, he was moved around under the protective custody of the government until April, 1989, when he was relocated in Santa Rosa. Mr. Miller also called his investigator, Greg Evans, who testified he and Mr. Miller talked to William Geraway at Walpole State Prison in June of this year.

Mr. Geraway previously testified Mr. Baron told him he mur dered Clay and that he then in formed on Mr. Baron to the authorities. Mr.

Evans testified Mr. Geraway, a convicted murderer, told him he received his information about the Wilson murder from Ronald Cassesso, who was at Walpole's death row at the time. Mr. Geraway, Mr. Evans said, said he was being bribed by the Mafia to inform on Mr.

Baron because the Mafia want ed to "degrade" Mr. Baron "be cause of pending court action" involving Patriarca. Mr. Baron yesterday again denied he told Mr. Geraway about the Wilson killing.

He ac knowledged that for a time that Mr. Geraway, was a good friend of his, and even wrote him poem, but that he did not trust him "to that extent CALENDAR TOMORROW 9:30 a.m.; Bible Study Fellowship, First Methodist Church.

No action was taken by the seven-man committee, but they advised the staff to proceed with discussions with the devel oper.

Currently, the Parks depart ment has plans to construct the 50 camping sites in a large, open meadow in the center of the park, which is at mouth of the Gualala River near (he Mendocino County line. A great deal of landscaping and trees will be needed to pro tect the camping area from strong winds. Apparently, Sea raHII from the south, east and Ranch developers believe this will impair the beauty of the se ries of coastal meadows, many of which they privately own. The land they have offered for campsites is along the Gualala River, across Highway One. It is heavily wooded with Red woods, maple and pepperwood.

According to Mr. Rodota, it offers an ideal camping area and could provide 30 morje camping sites than the current plan. There are problems, however. The area periodically floods and is nearly a mile from the beach portion of the park. Feasibility studies of the land acquisition and negotiations with Sea Ranch will continue, he said.
