The transfer of Lamattina was described by Gavin's spokesman as "routine." Barnstable Sheriff Donald P. Tulloch said he agreed to accept Baron after receiving a request from Byrne. Baron had been at State Prison since January when he was convicted on gun carrying charges.

Dist. Atty. Byrne labeled him as "part of the real killers of this last Feb. 8 in a case involving the murders of two of Baron's pals. SupL John T.

Howland, chief of the intelligence unit of the Boston Police Department, testified before the Senate Rackets Committee in 1963 that Lamattina was a member of the Cosa Nostra. Since then he has been described in court as a member involved in a war with another faction.

The moves were not made public until Tuesday. Baron was transferred under heavy guard Monday to the Banrs-table House of Correction. Lamattina was moved a week ego Tuesday to the Norfolk Prison Colony. No detailed explanation was made by officials.

There were reports, however, that the convicts were moved out of Walpole amid fears that the gangland killings would cause trouble at the prison. Suffolk Dist. Atty. Garrett H. Byrne said the extrac binary transfer of Baron, which required the cooperation of Gov.

Volpe, was made for "his own safety and the safety of others." A spokesman for Gov.

He was sentenced to a four-to five-year term and, in view of his background as a cook, he has been working in the kitchen of State Prison. Baron faces trial on charges of being an habitual criminal. The charges range from possession of a gun to assault with intent to murder and could result in sentences of up to 70 years.

A seven-car police escort, with sirens screaming, was used in the trip and a total of 30 policemen were on guard in and out of the courthouse. He was also guarded heavily last month when he was transported from Walpole to the Federal Building to appear before a grand jury reportedly investigating Cosa Nostra operations in Greater Boston.
