The Boston Globe Wednesday, July 31, Defense to Appeal: 'Cruel, Unusual Punishment 1 Body Found In Hingham vin a murder trial in the commonwealth. Star state witness Joseph (Barboza) Baron told the judge and jury that he was a hired killer employed by Limone to kill Edward "Teddy" Deegan, a Maiden tough and ex-boxer. Baron said that the murder was ordered "by what people know as Cosa Nostra," It was Baron's testimony4 that he was given $7500 for the killing. TRIAL (Continued from Page 1) i According to Baron, final authorization for the killing was given him personally by Tameleo. The other defendants were brought in by Baron as members of the murder team, the self-admitted loan-shark and hired killer stated.

Baron said Deegan's friend Anthony Stathopoulos 'of Maiden was supposed to be shot to death at the same time for an additional $2500. The witness said Stathopoulos escaped because the approach of a Chelsea police captain frightened off the ambush team comprised of himself, Cassesso and Salva-ti. Baron said French, a stealing colleague of Deegan's, was used to "set up" the victim and that Grieco and the late Romeo Martin lay in wait for Deegan in the darkened Chelsea alleyway. According to Baron, Dee-g a Stathopoulos and French were engaged in a "soft score" burglary of a fi-nance company office through the alley door which had been left open according to testimony by Baron and Stathopoulos, by the route policeman who had the key. All six defendants were also sentenced to three years for guilty findings on two counts each of conspiracy to murder.

Only Grieco of the six men in the dock chose to ad- an autopsy this afternoon in Downing funeral parlor. The youth's body was found by members of the family who called police.

Referring to testimony in the case, Grieco said, Tm guilty of just two things going to Lechmere Sales and lying about my refrigerator and domestic troubles with my wife. "I'm also guilty of being born of Italian parentage. "I'm not guilty of this murder.

I took a lie detector test and it showed that I didn't do it" WIFE WEEPS After Judge Forte, standing, intoned the death sentence by the "passage of a current of electricity through your body," Grieco was led from the court room to the lockup below. His wife, who testified during the trial that he could not have shot Deegan because he was in Florida with her was led weeping from the courtroom crowded with spectators, police and relatives of the defendants. One by one, the sentences were imposed, Judge Fort pronouncing them and court clerk Dennis Glynn reading off the life sentences. Each defendant in his turn was led away. When Tameleo was asked if he wished to speak to the court, his lips moved but the answer was inaudible.

Queried, again, the balding man who' sat throughout the 49 days hunched in the middle front of the docket, re-; plied, "I don't, your honor." Salvati was the last sentenced. When Glynn finished reading "life imprisonment," Salvati's two sisters groaned and sobbed. Judge Forte ordered that all death sentences be stayed pending the outcome of the appeals to the Supreme Judicial Court. He instructed that all six were to be transferred to the state prison at Walpole immediately. UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

'59 Tameleo's lawyer, Joseph Balliro, asked the court to withhold sentencing' until he could appeal the case to the state high arguing that the death sentence' was cruel and unusual punishment in viloation of, the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Similar arguments were put forward by Atty. Robert Stanziani for Limone and Atty. Ronald Chisholm for Cassesso. Atty. Lawrence O'Donnell, speaking for Grieco, said to Judge Forte, "Put on the death sentence 'Stay Execution' and we'll present the appeal to the high court." Asst.

Dist. Atty. Jack I. Zalkind, who presented the government's case in the proceedings which started 49 days ago, asked the judge to file the conspiracy misdemeanors and impose sentence at once an the major offences. Judge Forte said he was disregarding Zalkind's recommendation for the lesser crimes and was going to impose jail sentences.

BYRNE PRESENT Seated beside Zalkind was Suffolk Dist. Atty. Garrett H. Byrne. The jury received the for deliberation at 5:15 p.nu yesterday.

They were retired at 10:45 last night at the order of Judge Forte after poring over the testimony for 5Vi hours. They returned to their task at 9:15 this' morning after breakfast. At 11:40 a.m. court officer John McCarthy was alerted that the jury had reached its decisions by a knock at the deliberating room door 1 above the eight-floor courtroom, scene of the trial. Judge Forte was notified at the hospital and sped to the courthouse in a car chauffered by a state policeman.

He returned to the hospital after the sentencing. All told, the jury spent seven hours and five minutes in its deliberations. The lengthy trial's toll on the judge had become evident in the waning days of the trial. He reportedly began running a high fever three days ago and visited the hospital for treatment at that time. It was reported that doctors urged the jurist to remain abed at the hospital but he insisted on returning to court to complete the case.
