in i in i vjt mi After his conviction in Santa Rosa in December of 1971, Baron was moved to a Montana prison, then quietly moved back to California. The "hit man" reportedly is being kept under close surveillance by state Reason is two mysterious visits to the Bay Area by east coast hoodlums when it was falsely rumored last August Baron had been released from prison. The first to arrive were the Gold Dust Twins, Vinnie DeCissio and Joe Russo. Baron described them in his autobiography, written while he was in prison, as a conduit to who was paroled last December. On Aug.

5, DeCissio was arrested in San Francisco for trying to pawn $1,500 Joseph Baron, a former England Mafia enforcer sent to prison in 1971 for a Sonoma County murder, has been quietly paroled and reportedly is secluded somewhere in the Bay Area. And there's little doubt he's the tftet of a longstanding $250,000 death contract put out by the New 'England Mafia for turning against his former boss, Raymond Patriarca, by aiding the Justice Department to put Patriarca in prison in 1968. Baron, 43, was released Oct. 30 from the Sierra Conservation Camp in Tuolumne County after serving four years for the murder of Clay Wilson, 26, whose body was unearthed from a shallow, hillside grave in Glen Ellen Oct. 12, 1970.

worth of jewelery, and Russo arrived three days later to post bail. DeCissio then took his own life last month in the Boston area. Three other Boston underworld figures arrived afterwards and let it be known they were looking for "The Baron." Baron at the time was in prison in California. Sonoma County Public Defender Marteen Miller, who defended Baron in the Wilson killing, had no comment to make on his release. Municipal Court Judge Kiernan Hyland, then district attorney, and County Defense Lawyer Ronald Fahey, then chief deputy district attorney, prosecuted Baron in Judge Joseph P.

Murphy's courtroom. Baron was living with his wife in Santa Rosa under the assumed name of Joseph Bentley when he shot, killed and buried Wilson in Glen Ellen In July of 1970. He was given the new identity by the Justice Department and moved to Santa Rosa after being kept in luxurious protective custody in New England following his 1968 testimony against Patriarca and several other top New England underworld figures. Shortly after the Wilson murder, Baron returned to his hometown in New Bed-, ford, and was arrested for violating parole. He was charged in the Wilson slaying while serving time in Walpole State Prison where another inmate, William Geraway, informed on him, contending Baron had admitted to him he killed Wilson.

After his conviction here for second-degree murder, to which he pleaded near the end of his jury trial, he was taken to Washington to testify the House Select Committee on Crime. While confined in the Sonoma County jail, awaiting trial, Baron said he knew there was an underworld contract out for his life. During his Mafia days, The Baron had the reputation of being cold, calculating enforcer and it was rumored he had killed more than 30 underworld figures.

(UPI) A youngster in the crowd greeting President Ford at Westover Air Force Base struck the President on the side of the head with a 24-inch long U.S. flag staff in the excitement of the greeting. "Hhh nhh" Fnrri said tne stick-like staff hit his ricrtit tomnln -o A Secret Service bodyguard slapped the stick with the flag to the ground.

Ford ducked for a moment, then straightened up and resumed greeting the crowd. There was no blood and the President showed no signs or evidence any injury, There was no indication or apparent evidence the incident was anything but an accident born of a child's excitement. The boy was not immediately identified. "Get that thing out of here," said the agent who struck the flag to the ground. The incident occurred less than two minutes after Ford arrived at the heavily guarded airfield and had strolled, his jacket open and his hand out, to the edge of the roped-off crowd of speciality screened and invited greeters.

Ford was shaking hands, using both hands, and had just moved past a group of children holding a "Chicopee High School" 10-foot banner when the incident occurred. It happened so quickly Air Force officers and other greeters never noticed. Richard Keiser, chief of the White House Secret Service detail, was one of the three bodyguards less than a foot from Ford when the incident occurred. He swiftly signaled other agents, who moved ahead of the President, pushing up and slapping down the small parade flags. Ford seemed insistent on greeting the crowd and did not allow the several-second incident to deter him There was no sense of alarm or emergency.

Even before Ford was the target of pistol incidents in Sacramento Sept. 5 and San Francisco Sept. 22, his comings and goings at Air Force bases across the country were usually watched only by Air Force families and school children, other than official greeters as a security measure. Bearded collies to be exhibited Bearded collies are shown at 8:30 a.m. in Ring 10 Sunday at the Mensona Kennel Club all-breed dog show at Sonoma County fairgrounds, -v Hearst trial SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) A federal court judge's ruling today on the mental competency of Patricia Hearst could mean her trial on bank robbery charges would begin as early as December.

But psychiatric experts have split on the question of whether Patricia Hearst Is mentally competent to begin her trial. U.S. District Judge Oliver Carter said Tuesday at a competency hearing he would probably issue his decision in a memorandum at the end of the week'. Three court-appointed psychiatrists and one psychologist had examined Miss Hearst in her cell at the San Mateo County Jail in nearby Redwood City and submitted their reports to Carter as well as to the defense and prosecuting attorneys. Although the reports were not made public, two of the psychiatrists concluded that Miss Hearst was competent to stand trial immediately.

The third doctor suggested that she would be ready in three or four months after receiving interim psychiatric treatment. The psychiatrist who wanted the delay was Dr. L.J. West of UCLA. He had the support of University of California psychologist Margaret T.

Singer. Both are brainwash experts. Carter had named Singer to administer the tests for the psychiatrists. Prosecutors have indicated they want to begin the trial within the 90-day period from the time of arrest as outlined in the federal Speedy Trial Act. That would place the trial date sometime before mid-December.

Miss Hearst, 21, daughter of San Francisco Examiner President Randolph Hearst, was kidnaped from her Berkeley, apartment Feb. 4, 1974, by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Later through tape-recorded messages she joined her captors. The robbery charge, and one of using an automatic weapon in the incident, resulted from an April 15, 1974, holdup at a branch bank here. Miss Hearst 1 along with two SLA comrades was arrested here on Sept.

18. Steven Soliah back in court SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI) Steven Soliah, who lived with Patricia Hearst, returned to court today to face federal charges of robbery and murder in connection with a Symbionese Liberation Army bank holdup. Federal Defender E. Richard Walker indicated he might ask for dismissal of the charge on grounds the U.S.

government is engaging "selective prosecution" for a crime that normally would be handled by county authorities. If the federal charge were dropped, the case would be left in the hands of Sacramento County authorities, who are also investigating the $15,000 bank robbery and murder. Walker said the hearing before U.S.. District Court Judge Philip C. Wilkins will deal with pre-trial motions and could allow Soliah the chance to enter a plea.

Walker indicated that Soliah may ask for a change of venue because of the possibility of too much pre-trial publicity in Sacramento. He said the case most likely would not be moved to another state because many of the witnesses are Califor-nians. But he said the trial could be moved to Fresno, Los Angeles, San Diego or San Francisco. No one else has been charged with the robbery and murder, although police believe at least four others were involved. Miss Hearst has been linked to a car that was allegedly used in the holdup.

Federal officials have indicated that more indictments could be handed Soliah, aBerkeley housepainter who lived with Miss Hearst at the time of her capture in San Francisco Sept. 18, was indicted eight days ago by a federal grand jury for the April 21 robbery of a Carmicha-el branch of the Crocker National Bank. He was indicted for allegedly taking part in the bank robbery during which Myrna Opsahl. 42, the wife of a Sacramento area surgeon, was killed by a shotgun blast. The charge carries a maximum penalty of death and a minimum of 10 years in prison.

Walker earlier filed a motion for discovery asking the prosec-tion to turn over the names of other participants in the bank robbery. Witnesses said a woman and three men robbers rushed into the bank shortly after it opened' San Jose; three grandchildren and two great-grand-' children. Services will be at Jones Mortuary, and burial at Upper Lake Cemetery. Effie Wood ALAMEDA Services will be Monday at George W. Murphy Memorial Chapel, Alameda, for Effie Wood, 87, Alameda.

Tillotson has been ill in jail, but looked better Thursday, although still drawn. He was taken into custody Oct. 6 after being convicted. He was in jail for a time before the trial, but was released on his own recognizance because it was determined the care he needed tells shot from four to seven Voit's three friends said he did. He maintained he pulled the .22 revolver from a dresser drawer in the tiny bedroom as he was being beaten by Voit and not from a dresser drawer in the living room as the three said he had.

They testified he had walked out of the living room, outside and into the bedroom, where he found the naked couple, and walked back into the living room to get the gun from the dresser drawer, walked outside again and then into the bedroom. They said they heard shots and yelling. When he found his "old lady," Victorial Ann Wilson, and Voit naked, he was "shocked at what I had seen" and he asked "what the hell he was doing" with Miss Wilson. "I offered you my hospitality, friendship, but I didn't offer you my old lady," he said he yelled at Voit. Then Voit began "pleading" and Zoller said he realized Voit thought he had a gun.

Zoller had said earlier that when he had gone outside, he remembered he had left his gun on a closet shelf in the living room and thought it was not a good idea to leave it there with people in the house. He got the gun, he said and went into the bedroom to put it in the drawer and looked over his left shoulder while doing so, which is when he was "shocked." Zoller testified he put the gun in the drawer. Zoller said he kept telling Voit to leave, that he "wore out his welcome," but that Voit kept pleading, then Voit hit him and Zoller reached for the gun and shot him. Sonoma theft being probed SONOMA Sheriffs detectives are investigating theft of $1,325 in cash and checks from Sonoma Bird-land, 23750 Arnold Drive, Sonoma. The theft was reported Monday by Edward L.

Ab-blett, 40, manager of the bird sales operation, who said the money and checks were kept in a cash box in the caretaker's residence. He said he suspected it was stolen Sunday. Superior Court Judge Kenneth Eymann Thursday denied a motion for a new trial for convicted murderer Carl H. Tillotson and sentenced him to prison. Dep.

Public Defender Ralph Lopez will file an appeal for Tillotson, a 39-year-, old paraplegic convicted by a jury on Oct. 6 of the second degree murder of Kevin Patrick Amacher, 19, on Jan. 4. Zoller of one Accused murderer Ernest J. Zoller took the stand Thursday, telling a story of being beaten by his victim and a gun going off, just one shot being Zoller was to resume the stand today for cross examination by Acting Chief Dep.

Dist. Atty. Gary Antolini and the case may go to the jury late in the afternoon. Zoller, 25, is accused of the murder of Robert Lee Voit, 23, a San Francisco motorcyclist, who was fatally shot July 6 at at Zoll-er's Guerneville home after Zoller found Voit and Zoll-er's "old lady" nude on the floor of the bedroom. Asst.

Public Defender Norman Chown took Zoller through the day of drink, argument and finally death. And Public Defender Marteen J. Miller made a special appearance to question psychiatrist Dr. J. J.

LaStovic about the effects of alcohol, most especially as pertained to Zoller. Miller presented LaStovic as an expert on the influence of liquor on people. La Stovic said that Zoller, five feet five inches tall and then 135 pounds, who had .11 blood alcohol level when tested nearly four hours after the shooting, probably had a blood alcohol level of .19 at 11 p.m., around the time of the shooting. He said that at .15 about half of the population shows symptoms of "gross intoxication" and at .35 everybody would be drunk, likely comatose. At .10, the doctor said, there would be a decrease in inhibitions, a decline in ability to reflect good judgment, there would be "em-tionality," a decreased ability to concentrate and there would be some slurring of speech.

Miller pointed to such signs as being increased at the .19 level. The signs also pointed to a defense of diminished capacity. Before Zoller took the stand, Chown put three of Voit's friends on the stand, seeking to clarify what he said were inconsistencies. But the star of the day, was the slightly-built, sharp-featured Zoller, accused of killing a man who was 6 feet, two inches tall and Who weighed about 200 pounds. He answered questions at length.

And he said he fired only one shot, not the was not available in jail. Since being returned to custody, he and his mother have complained he has not received the necessary care, medication and therapy- Before sentencing, Lopez argued for Tillotson being sent to the state medical facility at Vacaville temporarily for diagnosis and recommendations. "I can't think of any case more appropriate" for such a move, the deputy public defender said. Lopez said State Department of Corrections officials could recommend to the court what "they think would be the proper disposition of the case." Asst. Dist.

Atty John Gallagher, who prosecuted the case, said he agreed with the probation office recommendations and asked Eymann to sentence Tillotson for the time prescribed by law and then advised Tillotson of his right to appeal within 60 days. Tillotson faces five years to life on the second degree murder conviction and five to life for the conviction of using a firearm in the' death. The sentences are to run consecutively. Tillotson had sought to have the county pay for a private attorney of his choice, maintaining he had no confidence in the public defender's office. The move went all the way to the state Supreme Court, which declined to consider it.

Lopez contends he did not have enough time to prepare Tillotson's case and that the facts before the jury did not warrant the second degree murder conviction. Tillotson was uncooperative with the public defender's office and Lopez, but warmed up during the early stages of the trial. Tillotson fired through a door, killing Amacher. He maintained he did not intend to kill anyone and that it was a matter of self defense. Gallagher said Tillotson meant to kill, in fact that he meant to kill Amacher's brother, Brian, with whom he had argued earlier in the evening.

Tillotson's apartment was the scene of teenage drinking parties.
