He is alleged to have aided in moving the death car from the scene. Viglas testified that he was employed at a Greek club on Shawmut av. in South End once used by his former employer Edward (Wimpy) Bennett.

He outlined his duties which included placing money in envelopes marked with intitials. He testified that after Edward Bennett disappeared in 1967 he took orders from Peter Poulos.

He explained how Viglas would first only identify the pictures of Poulos, Flemmi, and Salemme, his known associates. But after his life was threatened he identified other plotters in the apartment, Walsh said. Viglas said that he became afraid when he saw Vincent (Jimmy) Flemmi looking in the barroom where he later worked and also was visited by a man "who I knew was setting me up to be killed."

Viglas thus supported the story told by plotter turned informer Robert Daddieco.

Daddieco said that Bennett's death was planned in the apartment by Francis Salemme and Stephen Flemmi, both now fugitives, Peter Poulos and Richard Grasso, now dead; the defendant Shields and the witness Daddieco.

Stuart of the Boston Police intelligence section today was linked to a $50 weekly payoff by testimony from a former assistant bookkeeper for a racket operation. John Viglas, who gave no address because he is in protective custody, told a Suffolk Superior Court jury that one of his duties every week between the middle of 1967 and the middle of 1968 was to put $50 in an envelope marked with the initials "B.S." Viglas has said he turned informer after his life was threatened.

He said earlier two men whom he knew well had identified "B.S." as William Stuart. The testimony came in the first-degree murder trial of Hugh J.

At a discussion later in the Parking Authority office on School Boston, Kiernan said Brady told him $150,000 of a total of $450,000 was to be paid.

Two occasions on which George L. Brady, former head of the Massachusetts Parking Authority, allegedly received large sums of cash in connection with the construction of the Boston Common Garage, were described today in testimony in Suffolk Superior Court. Francis W. Kiernan of Andover, who held the title of consulting engineer for the garage job, gave the testimony before Judge Edward F. Hennessey and a jury.

Brady is on trial charged with conspiracy to steal about $400,000 from the garage project. Kiernan said that he was in New York with Brady about March, 1960, after a contract had been awarded to the Foundation Co. of New York for the construction work.

He also said he once served Stuart coffee while Brady's previous plans for Brady's brother in law, Maurice Brederick, to act as lawyer for the Foundation Co. broke down because of differences between Brady and Brod-erick. Kiernan said he arranged for Richard Simmers and Richard Gordon of Andover to act as lawyers and introduced them to Brady. He said the introduction took place in the offices of the Parking Authority on School Boston. Kiernan said he introduced Simmers and Gordon to Brady under the name of "Mr.

Coughlin." "Mr. Brady wanted to be known as 'Mr. Coughlin' at that time," Kiernan said. Kiernan described a meeting later in New York with Simmers, Gordon, Edward Plourde of New-ington, Ct, and John Craven of Boston. He said the group went to a New York bank and came out with a brief case filled with cash in bills of $1000 and $500 denominations.

This money came from cashing of a check presented to the bank by Plourde, Kiernan said. Kiernan said he and Plourde left the bank with the brief case and met Brady in. the Barclay Hotel in New York.

Kiernan said he himself later "got back $30,000 from Brady." Kiernan was among those convicted at the two earlier trails on charge of alleged larceny of funds of the Parking Authority.
