The two tcno s'lver blue and white plates with navy lettering are expected to begin appearing next August. South Side minister is slain of his brother, Michael 36.

Prosecutors Raymond McKoski and Michael Duffy proved that the slow and painful killings were part of Albanese's scheme to inherit more than $72,000 and take control of Allied Die Casting, the McHenry trophy-making company that his father founded 20 years ago. For the first time in the three-week trial, Albanese took the witness stand Friday to deny any part in the murders. THE TESTIMONY followed Michael's account of his wasting illness, diagnosed as arsenic poisoning, and the permanent nerve damage that has left him with a limp, pain and numbness. "The defendant was sitting in the hospital, pretending that he was a son while his victims were dying of the poison that he put into their systems," McKoski told Inglis. "The death penalty was made for people like Charles Albanese." A juror in the case, who attended sentencing arguments, said the jury was convinced of Albanese's guilt by overwhelming circumstantial evidence.

Particularly damning was testimony of two prison attempts by Albanese to implicate Michael in the murders and have Michael and his wife killed, said the juror, who asked not to be named. "From the start of the deliberations, no one thought he was not guilty. We took three ballots and it was just a question of guilty or undecided until the last count," he said. By Jean Davidson CALLING Charles Albanese "a-cold and calculating killer," Judge Lawrence Inglis of Lake County Circuit Court Friday sentenced him to death for the arsenic poisoning murder of his mother-in-law. Albanese already had been condemned to the electric chair once, and the second death penalty probably will ensure his execution.

Lake County State's Atty. Fred Foreman said. "This bolsters the record; I don't see how the convictions could be reversed," Foreman said. "If he had gotten life, he probably would have plotted more murders from jail." Defense attorney Richard Kelly, a former McHenry County Circuit Court judge, sought a life sentence and called the death penalty "retribution, pure and simple." Albanese, showed no reacton as he was sentenced. INGLIS SET the formal sentencing for Dec.

3, allowing time for an appeal of the conviction. The death penalty sentence is automatically appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court, where it probably will be combined with a pending appeal of the first death sentence. Albanese, of Spring Grove, was convicted Tuesday of poisoning his mother-in-law, Marion Mueller, 69, who died Aug. 18, 1980, in a Waukegan hospital. He was found guilty and sentenced to death in May for the poisoning murders of his father, Michael Albanese 69, and his wife's grandmother, Mary Lambert, 89, and the attempted murder By Casey Bukro Environment writer A FORMER SPECIAL assistant attorney general charged Friday that the Illinois attorney general's office was secretly discussing relaxation of Lake Michigan pollution control standards imposed on United States Steel but Atty.

Gen. Tyrone Fahner defended the negotiations. "We have not made any agreements with U.S. Steel to lessen environmental requirements for the protection of Lake Michigan," Fahner said. Joseph Karaganis, a long-time special assistant for former Atty.

Gen. William Scott, charged that "closed-door meetings" were being conducted by U.S. Steel and Fahner. Karaganis, in a press conference in his office, contended that he was the attorney of record in a series of pollution cases filed by the state in which the courts ordered several steel mills, including U.S. Steel's Gary works, to curtail pollution of Lake Michigan.

"This decision is much too important to be made in closed-door meetings," Karaganis said. IN A STATEMENT later, Fahner denied "secret meetings" or "backdoor deals." He said the 1977 decree against U.S. Steel "is substantially completed" but cannot be changed without court approval. Fahner also lashed out at Karaganis, saying he has earned $600,000 in legal fees from the state but has not worked for the state in OUUct A SOUTH SIDE minister was shot Friday by three youths and then robbed of $8,000 after he emerged from his car carrying the cash the payroll for several workers building a West Side church, according to police. The minister died an hour later in a hospital.

The victim was Rev. Jasper J. Taylor, 47, 1041 W. 98th pastor for the last 20 years of St. Paul Baptist Church, 6954 S.

Union Ave. Rev. Taylor had been shot three times in the back and once in the left arm. Detective Thomas Shine, of the Harrison Police Area, said Rev. Taylor got out of his car outside the new building, at 620 S.

By Dori Meinert and John Schmeltzer MOVING TO OFFSET public criticism of recently enacted salary increases, the Du Page County Board issued a statement Friday challenging the reported figures and defending the raises. The statement, distributed to county employees with their paychecks, listed the amounts county officials and board members will receive as base salaries.

The figures did not include their total compensation from the county. In the memo, County Board Chairman Jack T. Knuepfer, a Republican from Elmhurst, said the board deliberately chose to deal with the sensitive issue of salaries before the Tuesday election so that the electorate has an opportunity to respond. SALARY INCREASES for county employees as opposed to elected officials have yet Uf be decided, but Personnel Director Jack Tenison said Friday that the board's Finance Committee was discussing raises for those workers of up to 5 percent.

Gary Fredriksen, 23, 1458 Turkey Trail Inverness, died in the accident. Du Page County Coroner Robert K. Matthews said Fredriksen the last two years. "It is unfortunate that Karaganis, because the state refuses to let taxpayers pay his exorbitant legal fees, would let personal, financial considerations cloud his better judgment," Fahner said. State lawyers are now handling such cases, he added.

U.S. Steel spokesman Thomas' Ward said steel company officials have been discussing an "environmental swap" proposal with officials of the Illinois Environmental Protec tion Agency, the Illinois attorney" general office, and the Metropoli- tan Sanitary District MSD. "WE'RE ASKING to take $33 million due be spent on water pollu-1 tion at the Gary works and put the $33 million in production equipment at the South Works," Ward "It's an environmental swap for pro-. duction equipment." Steel officials, say the swap will result in jobs. "We aren't meeting in secret but negotiating with the MSD and the attorney general right along and will continue to negotiate," Ward said.

"We're hopeful there will be an agreement. Karaganis contends that he should have been consulted because he isi the attorney of record in the U.S. Steel pollution case, and charges' such a move would open a "Pan- dora's box." Similar pollution control decrees were issued against Inland Steel Co. and Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. (now Jones Laughlin Steel said Karaganis, with deadlines in 1984 and 1985.
