The last area at which you stopped this morning is in Topsfield, and that in the lane to which your attention was directed this morning, they found a Thunder-bird automobile with the body of the victim DiSeglio sitting in the passenger seat in the front in a somewhat semi-erect position, and that the body was subsequently deemed to be dead, and he will describe to you what observations he made. WOUNDS IN HEAD There will also be evidence by Trooper Warren Bailey of the Massachusetts State Police, who was the first one to find the automobile. There will be evidence from other police officials as to their participation, as to fingerprints, and ballistics, showing that these things were checked out.

There will also be evidence that this car had to be towed back to Sullivan's Garage, that you observed this morning, and that an autopsy was performed by Dr. Leonard Atkins, and that he found three bullet holes in the back of the head, and he found exit wounds in the front, one out of the eye of the victim, and another out of his forehead. Mr. Hallice, the ballisti-cian, will tell you he found slugs, expended slugs in the car, one embedded in the roof liner and another one at the feet of the victim. it, but what could he do.

Ra had to go along. Mr. Barboza will tell you that on occasion he was with the three defendants or with one or more of them, and that they actually pointed out the place where the car was stopped on Bremen i Street THE COURT The three defendants? MR. PINO The three defendants, yes, your Honor, Zinna, Lepore, and DeVin- 1 cent, and I am referring di-rectly to them at this point, where they had gone with i him to Bremen and pointed out to him, "Well, i that's where we stopped the victim's car, DiSeglio's car, and that's where we shot him." KILLING TOLD And Zinna had also told Barboza that when it happened that DiSeglio thought they were going out on a score and that he thought they were going over to the tanks to pick up a hot box, and that the car stopped somewhere in the area of that hydrant, and Lepore got out and went around the 1 corner of Beck st. to Chelsea where a car was parked, i It was in fact the car of the defendant Zinna, and that the victim was shot right there near that hy- 1 drant, in the car, and they drove the Thunderbird up to Topsfield through the back roads, and dumped the body in lover's lane, and came back to Boston.

Mr. Barboza will tell you he got out of the House of Correction in Deer Island about June 9th, and had a talk with a friend of his by the name of Chico Amigo. and that as a result of that talk, he went to the office of Mr. Angiulo on Prince and they had some talk there, and Mr. Angiulo told Mr.

Barboza that he was very upset over the knocking off of games in the area, and that a game of James Makris had been knocked over in Lowell, and that finally, when Fats Pelligrini's game was knocked over in Newton, Mr. Angiulo said, "Pelligrini is very upset, and I have done business with Pete, and I am going to see that this is taken care of," and with that Mr. Baron left. Freeze kCOLD Continued from Page 1 The Weather Bureau yesterday promised the Boston temperature might climb to 20. It peaked at 12.

Last night's low here was a predawn 4 above at 6 a.m. With the sun on the rise at 8 a.m., it dipped to 3 above and had chinned itself up to 5 two whole degrees, mind you by 9 a.m. While last night' thermometer reading were above zero in happy contrast to Monday night's sub zero readings, the difference to anyone waiting at a corner for bus or cab was barely noticeable. Still more of the same is the promise for tonight with predictions of zero to 10 above locally and from 15 to 25 below In northern New England. WARMER THURSDAY "Prospect for Thursday are for fair weather but not much change in temperature the W.B.

predicts. Classes were resumed today in most schools that were closed on Tuesday as the populace adjusted to Arctic conditions and red-faced heating experts of the Army Corps of Engineers worked in the Veterans Administration Hospital in Jamaica Plain trying to remedy condtions that had 400 patients shivering in 50 degree temperatures yesterday. For what consolation it offered, the Weather Bureau reports that "its rough all over" with "rugged Winter retaining its hold on nearly all of the nation this morning." Subfreezing temperatures prevailed across most of Dixie for the second night in a row from northern Georgia to Virginia. Icing conditions prevailed throughout North Carolina to within a few miles of the coast. In Atlanta, it became a feat to keep your fee a fact attested to by the report that more than 70 pedestrians who fell on ice coated sidewalks required medical treatment.

Far to the West, the same storm system met a wave of cold air on the southern plains and glazed portions of Texas and Oklahoma. (Much of Texas still had not recovered from a sleet and ice WOMEN'S rfftl I li-T TRIAL Continued from Page 1 Under cross examination by Atty. Joseph Balliro, counsel for Zinna, Fawcett said that he was very familiar with Barboza and his reputation. In fact, according to Fawcett, he and other officers frequently filled out special "F.I.O." forms whenever they observed Barboza and any of his associates. The forms were stored in the police files.

Asked by Balliro, Fawcett acknowledged that he observed Nicholas Femia, "Chico" Amico and Patrick (Patsy) Fabiano at various times in East Boston. All, he said, were associates of Barboza. Joseph (Chico) Amico was gunned down in Revere a year ago. Atty. Lawrence O'Donell, counsel for De Vincent, drew from Fawcett that he did not observe DiSeglio or the victim's ear in East Boston the night of the murder.

State trooper Warren Bailey testified that he found the death car parked on a lovers' lane dirt road off Rowley Bridge rd. in Tops-field the night of June 16 while patrolling and making a search on the basis of Fawcett's information. Bailey said he spotted the reflection of the car's tail lights when he flashed the beam of his lights into the lane. The trooper said he walked into the woods to the car and found DiSeglio seated in the front passenger bucket seat and observed bolood on his face and head, a hole behind his ear and no evidence of bleeding. Also according to the trooper, he saw two bullet holes in the car's windshield and traces of glass particles on the hood.

DeSeglio was gunned down June 15, 1966, according to Pino, because he was "the finger man" in the stickups of at least two gambling games. In relating an alleged con- BRA SALE storm which hit the state last week-end.) STEADY SNOW A fresh invasion of Arctic air returned below zero tem-pertures across the northern plains from Minnesota to the Dakotas. Generally, light snow was falling all the way from upper New England to the northern Rockies early today and U.P.I, estimated the nation's toll of weather connected sudden death as "at least 60" with many victims of fires traced to overtaxed home heating equipment. Burlington, Old town, and infamous International Falls, shared honors as the coldest spots in the United States early today with matching thermometer readings of 21 below zero. (Key West, reported a torrid 78 above.) Burlington city officials are beginning to toy with a notion for striking off medals to decorate residents who have survived the past three days there.

This marked the third straight day on which a new record low temperature had been set. On Jan. 8, it went down to 21 below, to 24 below yesterday, and 21 below today. Maximum temperature of the past two days 9 below Monday and 7 below Tuesday are the lowest maximum temperatures ever recorded on these dates in Burlington. Average Burlington temperature for the first nine days of January is 1.5 degrees above zero, 15.5 degrees below normal.

At 10 a.m. today, the local COTTON These are the opening remarks of Asst. Dist. Atty. John A.

Pino, as he outlined the government's case yesterday against Cennaro J. Angiulo and three other men: on behalf of the commonwealth, arise to make what is known in our profession as an opening. An opening is not any evidence that can be considered by you, but is merely an argument on my part on behalf of the commonwealth to give you an outline of the evidence which the commonwealth intends to introduce through the lips of witnesses and through the presentation of certain physical evidence. It is by no means meant to be all inclusive or meant to be detailed. This only involves some of the evidence as might be necessary to assist you in following "the evidence as it unfolds before you.

In the course of the opening, the names of the locations which you visited will become apparent to you as to where they fit. CHARGES OUTLINED Now, the clerk has read three indictments to you, and these indictments charge that three of the defendants, Zinna, LePore, and DeVincent, shot and killed the victim Rocco DiSeglio on the 15th of June, 1966. Another indictment charges that this murder was incited, procured, at the direction of the defendant Gen-naro Angiulo, and the third indictment charges that these four men, these four defendants, conspired together to commit this murder which took place on the 15th of June, 1966. In order to sustain the indictments, the commonwealth intends to introduce evidence that on the evening of the 16th of June, 1966, Detective Robert Fawcett of the East Boston Division of the Boston Police Department, received a telephone call or calls and as a result, he proceeded to Danvers, where he saw police there, and where he was also in conversation with members of the Massachusetts State Police, and at some time during the course of the evening, if my memory serves me, some time after 9 o'clock in the evening, another call was received from a member of the State Police and Mr. Fawcett, together with his partner Mr.

Malone, and other police officers, pro- Firm Offers Scholarships On No. Shore Eight educational awards worth a total of $124,000 one of the largest scholarship programs ever offered by an American business were made available Tuesday to high school students in eight North Shore communities. The American Mutual Insurance whose executive offices are in Wakefield, said they will award a $16,000 scholarship to one student in each of the com-munities of Wakefield, Lynnfield, Reading, Melrose, Winchester, Lexington, North Reading and Beverly. The eight grants will be scholarships for five-year work-study degree programs at the College of Insurance in New York city, where students will earn either a bachelor degree in business administration or in actuarial science. During their college years, the students will work for American Mutual, which has offices in more than 100 cities.

This will provide them with enough money to meet most of their living expenses at schooL In completion of their college training, the graduates will continue to work for American Mutual on a full-time basis. After two years with the company, they will be reimbursed for all additional tuitional expenses incurred at college. The scholarships is for half of their tuition costs. Selection of the recipients will be a three way screening process. High school authorities will recommend students, they will be evaluated by the college and then interviewed by, American Mutual.

ixie Weather Bureau man logged the city's 65th consecutive hour of below zero temperatures. Avatar Unfit, Says Volpe; Probe Ordered Gov. Volpe denounced today the controversial publication "Avatar" as "not fit to be read by anyone." The governor scanned the publication, containing alleged obscenities, at the weekly meeting of the Executive Council. He favored an outright ban on the magazine, saying it "ought to be removed from the stands. It is not subject matter that is fit to be read by anyone, let alone the youth of the Commonwealth." The council voted to have Atty.

Gen. Elliot Richardson investigate the publication with a view to taking action against having the paper distributed on state college campuses and if possible, prohibit its publication. In other council action, respites to Feb. 24, 1969 were granted to two convicted murderers of police officers. Volpe asked for the 13-month stay of execution for John J.

Kerrigan of Dorchester and Charles E. Tracy of Roxbury pending the outcome of the study of the deterrent effect of the death penalty. The respite drew the objection of Councilor Walter E. Kelly, D-Worchester, who said the people were being "cheated out of the justice alloted to them in the courts." Kelly maintained that any study of the death penalty cannot determine the deterrent effect to crime. Volpe asked for the study because of his own personal doubts as to the deterrent value to capital punishment.

Meanwhile, the council approved these appointments: Rep. Thomas M. Newth, Swampscott, House Republican whip, as clerk of the Lynn District Court. Mrs. Margaret C.

Scott, Brighton, as a special justice of the Dorchester District Court. Charles F. Graceffa, Walt-ham, clerk of the Waltham District Court. K-MART 200-Cf. Tissues 2.

FAWCETT versation between Barboza and Angiulo in Angiulo's Prince st. office in the North End, Pino said Barboza was told "that he (Angiulo) was very upset over the knocking off of games in the area.

"And that a game of James Makris had been knocked over in Lowell and that finally when 'Fats' 'Pe-ligrini's game was knocked over in Newton, Angiulo said, 'Pelligrini is very upset, and I have done business with "Fats" and I am going to see that this is taken care The prosecutor placed the converstion as June 9. According to Pino, Barboza will testify to seeing Zinna, DeVincent and Le-pore the night of the killing outside Chambi's bar on Bennington st. in East Boston. Pino said Barboza asked Zinna what he and the others were doing there. "We have something to do tonight," Zinna replied, the prosecutor said.

"We have a score or words of that nature to make tonight." Pino stated that DeVincent chimed in, "Yen. We'll show you how it's done. You'll read about it in the papers tomorrow." The government maintained that DiSeglio pulled in front of the bar in his Thunderbird and Zinna got into the driver's seat, pushing the victim onto the console. DeVincent, Pino said, got in the back and Lepore the front passenger seat. That was June 15, Pino told the 1 1 men and live women jurors.

The next night, according to the prosecutor, Barboza saw Zinna and was told, "We really didn't go out on that score last night. We had to do in Rocky. It was either him or me." Pino said, "DeVincent told Barboza that he put a bullet into the head of Rocky DiSeglio. "Lepore said that he wished he never got involved, he didn't want to go along, but what could he do. He had to go along." On other occasions, Pino said, Barboza was with one or more of the defendants and the murder site was i piJIillCU UUL IU 111111.

The prosecutor told the jurors it was the short i stretch of road known as i Beck st. in East Boston, ob- structed from view by two i high stone walls on the sides and running between Bremen and Chelsea sts. The defendants told Barboza, Pino said, that they drove DiSeglio's car to Tops-field with the body in it and abandoned it and returned to the Greater Boston area in Zinna's car which had been driven along. Barboza also met Angiulo after the murder, Pino alleged, and warned him about DeVincent who was "shooting his mouth off." Barboza said, "He's a big man now, he put a bullet in Rooky's head," according to Pino. Maiden Raise O.K.'d by Council Maiden city councilors by a 9 to 2 vote Tuesday night approved $300 raises for 70 department heads and their assistants.

Included in the raises, which are retroactive tc July 3. were the city nurses, assessors, building inspectors, wire inspectors and city solicitors. ni i n-y, iriJ -nnBr- 1 1TTIIlW HI HI DUPONT NYLON Bucaroni Shells Dusfers Mm There will be evidence of other physical observations made of the body and of the car. There will be evidence by a man by the name of Joseph Baron who is also known as Joseph WORDS QUOTED He will tell you that on the evening of June 15th, 1966, while in the area of Ciampi's, the first scene that you visited this morning, he had occasion to see the defendant Zinna, the defendant Lapore, and also the defendant DeVincent. He will tell you of conversation that he had with Zinna.

He will tell you that he asked Zinna, "What are you doing here?" The usual hangout is Al-phonso's, and Zinna's answer to him was. "We have something to do tonight. We have a score," or words of that nature, "to make tonight." And there was other conversation with Zinna there, and conversation with DeVincent, where DeVincent said. "Yuh, we will show you how it is done," and some other remark about, "you will read about it in the papers tomorrow." Some time after the arrival of the three defendants, Mr. DiSeglio drove up in this Thunderbird automobile so that the car was parked almost in front of Ciampi's, facing back towards Boston, and there will be evidence that this car was registered to Mrs.

DiSeglio, and that Mr. Barboza or Baron saw Mr. Zinna go around the car and push the victim Mr. DiSeglio so that Mr. DiSeglio was riding on the console of this Thunderbird automobile.

He will tell you that he saw DeVincent get in the passenger side and sit in the back of the automobile, and he will tell you that Lepore got in the passenger side and sat in the front seat, the passenger seat and that Zinna moved the car in reverse, and then made a U-turn, and that he aimed the car back toward Day Square, and the tanks which you also saw this morning. BLACK GLOVES The next time Mr. Barboza or Mr. Baron saw the defendants, was again in the area of Ciampi's, and he had some discussion with them about the score last night. I might point out too, that Mr.

Barboza saw Mr. DiSeglio putting on a pair of black gloves on his hand as the car was driving away. Mr. Barboza, in asking how the score went last night, was told by Zinna "Well we really didn't go out on the score last night. We had to do in Rocky." And there was a conversation which you will hear in detail from Mr.

Barboza in which Zinna told him, "It was either him or us," and that later on Mr. DeVincent vdd Barboza that he put a bullet into the head of Rocky DiSeglio. In conversation further, Mr. Lepore said that he wishe'd he never got involved, he didn't want to do Reg. 1.99 SWEATER RllC CROSS FRONT if! 57 tV-Sf -j 32-38 II Women's Cotton Dusters with two pockets.

He is shooting his mouth off. He is a big man now. He put a bullet in Rocky's head." and at that time Angiulo said that he didn't like DeVincent, that he didn't trust him, that he didn't want to talk to him, that he had talked of Zinna, and that he would talk to Zinna again, and he thought he had done a wise thing in having DiSeglio knocked off, who he had as a finger man at these games, and he told Zinna, "You knock him off or I will see that all four of you are knocked off." and that's the substance of the conversation. The Commonwealth will introduce evidence from members of the Lowell Police Department that they received information as a result of which they conducted an investigation of the Greek-American Club in Lowell. They will describe the promises to you and what they did and there will also be evidence that one James Makris was seen in front of the Greek-American Club on the morning of the 7th of June, 1966, between 3 and 4 a.m.

CALL TO POLICE There will also be evidence from officers of the city of Newton that on the morning of the 11th of June, 1966, that a call was put into the Newton police as a result of which they responded to the Call and they found themselves at the home of one Fats Pelligrini and they will tell you they spoke to a person there, and with the permission of that person, they entered the house and made certain observations. They will tell you about pall of smoke, ash trays, coffee cups, and other evidence. That is basically the governments' case. There is undoubtedly other evidence that I have failed to allude to in my opening, but it will undoubtedly be brought to your consideration during the course of this trial. REG.
