4 The Boston Globe Monday, July 29, 1968 KKtTf 'King' Baron Lashed at Deegan Trial Gil1' could take up again with his girlfriend. "He's so clever. He wants six lives," Stanziani said. Cassesso's lawyer, Ronald Chisholm, opened the arguments. He spent an hour.

The trial is in its 47th day. The case could be delivered to the jury late tomorrow or by Wednesday. Baron testified that Tameleo concurred with Li-mone's order and that he (Baron) in turn recruited the other defendants as his murder team. Baron characterized the slayings as a Cosa Nostra murder. Limone and Tameleo were named as members before a Senate investigating sub-committee in 1963.

Stanziani quoted, "I don't care whether they're innocent or not They go." These are the words of Barboza-Baron, the King of East Boston, the King of the Corner, the King who was destroyed when he was pinched, imprisoned and finally isolated." Baron is serving a 4 to 5-year sentence on a gun-carrying charge. Since turning on his former associates, he has been removed from the prison to a secret place under the protection of U.S. marshals. Stanziani maintained that Baron's purpose; in testifying, other than revenge, was to secure his freedom and receive money so he trial against Limone came from Barboza's lips. Barboza claimed that Limone ordered Deegan's death and offered him $7500 to carry out the murder contract Stanziani, the second lawyer to argue- before Judge Felix Forte, said it was Baron's word against Li-mone's word.

Limone took the stand in his own He asked the jury that they restrict their considerations of the evidence to the individual defendants and not to try them as a single group. BARON A KING? Harking to letter's written by Baron to a girlfriend, Stanziani represents Peter J. Limone, 34, of Medford, charged as an accessory before the fact of murder, a crime which carries the death sentence. Similarly accused in connection with the 1965 slaying of Edward (Teddy) Deegan in a Chelsea alley are Ronald Cassesso, 35, of Somerville, Joseph Salvati, 35, of the North End, and Henry Tameleo, 66, of Cranston, R.L On trial for murder in the first degree are Wilfred Roy French, 39, of Everett, and Louis Grieco, 51, of Peabody.

Pay Forces Lynn To Up Taxes LYNN This year's tax increase will be $11 to $15 if the City Council tonight approves, as expected, the request of Mayor Erving Kane to borrow $700,000. It will be the first tax raise since 1966.

The present levy is $115. With the expected increase, the new rate would be between $126 and $130. Lynn is not assassed on a full and fair evaluation basis. The need to borrow the $700,000 is principally reflected in increased welfare payments which came despite the state takeover July 1. Kane said Medicare and Medicaid payments during all of 1967 were equalled in the first six months of 1968.

Kane also said that state aid for 1968 had been cut by $500,000 despite the increased case load. Wage boosts for all city workers a common denominator in all growing cities and towns due to collective bargaining is another reason for the tax hike. The wage and welfare increase have pushed Lynn's municipal budget up by $2 million. According to the city assessors, an announcement of the new rate and the issuance date for new tax bills will be made after tonight's special council meeting, pending approval of the hike -by the Sate Bureau of Accounts.
