Ahearn began in Norfolk Superior Court today before Judge Francis L.

Lappin and a jury of 13 men and three women. Ahearn is charged with the bludgeon slaying of fellow Walpole inmate Howard Greene in the latter's cell on Oct. 3, 1965. CONFESSION CLAIMED Asst. Dist Atty.

Richard told the jury he would prove that Ahearn confessed to the murder about a year after it took place. The prosecutor said that Ahearn, in his confession, stated "some gtiys can live with these things. It's been bothering me a long time. I've been waking up dreaming about it. I've got to get it off my chest." Murphy told the jury he DearAgatha: My taste says premium beer.

The prosecutor said an investigation at that time failed to disclose the identity of the slayer, but that on Oct. 21, 1966 a year later Ahearn sent word to Walpole Supt.

Palmer C. Scafati that he wanted to "talk about the Greene murder." Later in the presence of State Police Sgt Walter Bogdanchik, Murphy said, Ahearn confessed he had clubbed Greene as the victim lay in bed in his cell. fendant as saying he only wanted to scare Greene because Greene had burned out his cell a few days before. "Prison records will show that a fire did take place in Ahearn's cell," Murphy told the court and jury. The first government witness, State Prison guard Leo Cornwall, testified he was on duty at the prison on the afternoon of the slaying and that he discovered Greene covered with blood and moaning in his cell bed while the inmates were at supper.

The fire which gutted the Long Wharf offices that contained vital records of the New England Aquarium will necessitate raising an additional $100,000 before the aquarium opens this Summer. David B. Stone, president, said today. His staff reported the loss of thousands of dollars of irreplaceable slides collected throughout the world. The fire means, he said, that the aquarium will have to raise $850,000 by opening time, yet to be announced.

Originally $750,000 was the figure set for opening purposes. Stone reported that after five days of extenxsive research "We have discovered that we were able to recover all of our membership records. Stone emphasized that the fire will have no detrimental effect on the quality of exhibits to be offered. But, it will take the aquarium staff at least another week to dry soaked documents and sort through the fire remains before an exact list of exhibits needs can be established.

Three men were held in 560,000 bonds in West Rox-bury District Court today, charged with armed robbery of a Hyde Park supermarket at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

A Hyde Park witness was credited for the quick arrest of the trio, who allegedly help up the Stop Shop market at 1065 Truman hwy. and escaped with $15,000 in cash and checks. Judge Frank S. Deland today increased the $10,000 bond set last night on the three men to $20,000 each for a hearing in his court Apr. 15.

The men were identified as Francis Garney, 29, of East Foxboro; James C. McGrath, 25, of Danube Dorchester, and Richard Martell. 23, of Pleasant Dorchester. A warrant was issued for the arrest of a young Hyde Park mother in connection with the robbery. The witness, not identified by police, became suspicious when three men rushed into the home of a Woodglen resident, a woman living alone, shortly after Wednesday's robbery.

The witness described the men to police. Two of the descriptions were similar to those of the holdupmen who had robbed the nearby market a half-hour earlier. A red sedan found later on Garfield Hyde Park, was identified as the car used in the robbery. Police said they found checkered hat in the car. allegedly worn by one holdupmen.
