A woman called to say she worked with a Kathy James in a Denver area nursing home. Last month, when the show was re- broadcast as a summer rerun, nine more persons called to report see ing the Chassons in Denver.

Wood and his investigators had earlier learned that Kathleen Chasson had a son by a previous marriage who was living in Denver. Convinced that they had been able to narrow the search, the squad sought to have the FBI be come involved in the case. Soon, agents were able to confirm that Kathleen Chasson had Indeed worked at a Denver area nursing home. They tracked the couple to a house last week. As four agents attempted to ar rest him, Chasson pulled a gun and fired four shots at them.

Three agents are believed to have shot him. Chasson died on the way to a hospital. for rescue YMCA pool Flynn praised Bortolotto who continued to search for children underwater after receiving a head laceration that required more than 100 stitches. Flynn introduced Bortolotto as "the most important person, in the city of Boston today by putting his own personal safety in danger for the lives of others." "I would really like to thank my mother and my girlfriend who have been with me every step of the way," said Bortolotto, as about 350 area residents gave him a standing ovation. "They, along with my family, were with me at the hospital when I needed them." The branch library yesterday opened the doors of the addition, which is larger than the original library and houses a children's wing, a computer learning center and an outdoor reading garden.

JONATHAN McNEILLY analyzing and pieces By Mary Tabor Contributing Reporter About 250 youths rapped, danced, and hip-hopped their way through Boston's second annual "We Care" rally yesterday on a bandstand in the Roxbury Community College parking lot. Another innocent boy, slain on the streets in the prime of his youth," began the performance by Young Nation, a five-man group that warned against guns, drugs, and violence. "Save the nation," they echoed, moving in unlsion to the loudly amplified beat. The three-hour afternoon rally, which grew out discussions at one of former state representative and one-time mayoral candidate Mel Kings community breakfasts, represented the parents' and community leaders' efforts to counteract a negative image of city youth conveyed by the media and police, said rally organizer Rubina Qureshl, 29, director of urban ministry at the First Church in Roxbury. "Gangs are recruiting more ag gressively than we community groups are," she said.

We re trying to see to it that the city, state, and community agencies understand some of the things that you are concerned about," said King, who hostecLthe rally. "All my life, all I've seen is fights and violence," said Gregory Gregg, Two honored of children at At a dedication ceremony for the renovated West Roxbury branch library yesterday. Mayor Flynn pre sented awards to the two YMCA employees who rescued eight pre schoolers after the ceiling collapsed at a West Roxbury pool last week. David Bortolotto, 18, and Ellen-. marie Joyce, 23, were awarded merits of honor during the dedication of the $3.7 million addition to the library.

On Sept. 18, the ceiling over the YMCA pool collapsed while several children were taking a swimming lesson taught by Bortolotto. As concrete and tile fell into the pool, Bortolotto and Joyce removed and searched for children in the pool. "There is one issue we can take great, great pride in," said Flynn, "the heroes in this, community who saved many, many lives with their actions at the YMCA pool.

A group of Democrats and Republicans, led by state Rep.

Frank Hynes (D-Marshfield), has proposed a total of $265 million in savings this year with the $165 million, the bulk of the savings, coming from state layoffs. The Hynes group includes state Rep.

James. A year later, he was picked up in Seattle in connection with a nearly fatal stabbing in a barroom brawl. But the victim was on parole at the time of the incident and, rather than admit to parole violations, he declined to testify against Chasson, Wood said. Chasson called himself James Garrity in the Seattle case. His wife, Kathleen, visited him three times while he was in custody, wearing a bandage and saying that blood on her husband's shirt a key piece of evidence against him had come from her, police said.

Each time she visited, she used a different name: Kathy James, Kathy Jamison and Kathy Garritv. Chasson's story was incorporated into an episode of "America's Most Wanted," a television program erating with suspended license, speeding, operating to endanger, reckless driving, driving with defective equipment and driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle. Peaceful protestors picket incinerator site BRAINTREE About 300 persons protested peacefully yesterday against a commercial hazardous waste incinerator proposed by Clean Harbors Inc. at an East Braintree site. Demonstrators carried picket signs, but there were no arrests during the 90-minute protest, said police.

Demonstrators awarded Clean Harbors a mock First Prize in Fiction, for a recent multi-volume report concluding there would be no serious health or transportation problems associated with the incinerator. (UPI) Gay rights advocates plan Silber protest Gay rights advocates, planning to protest a dinner honoring Boston University president John Silber, said yesterday that the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith is be ing a "traitor to its own ideals" by honoring the controversial educator. Protest organizers expected about 500 demonstrators outside a dinner tonight at BU, where the Anti-Defamation League will present Silber its Distinguished Public Cory's 2 for 1 Lunch or Dinner DRIVER'S NOTEBOOK Dinger i By Jerry Ackerman Globe Staff The ambulances had barely left when Registry of Motor Vehicles inspectors oh Sept. 15 arrived at the Columbia Road site where seven schoolchildren had been injured by a car. While Boston police made out arrest papers at the Dorchester location, directed traffic and helped the families of the injured, the Registry team literally picked up the pieces noting where the chrome and glass had been knocked off the two cars involved in the accident and where the vehicles had come to a stop, measuring the skid marks and taking dozens of photographs.

By law, Sgt. Lawrence Massone said later, the Registry investigates all fatal accidents in Massachusetts as well as any accident in which injuries appear life-threatening. The job, he said, is "to put all the pieces together and determine who was at fault. Somebody always has to be at fault. Accidents don't Just happen.

Some say they do, but they don't." Only occasionally, Massone said, is a mechanical flaw found, and that, too, is probably due to human error. Brake failure during an accident has been uncommon since dual braking systems became standard in US-built cars. One of the first things an inspector does at an accident scene is to step on the brake pedals of each "car. If the pedal goes to the floor, Massone said, there should be a rush of brake fluid onto the street. If there is no puddle, the brakes probably were not working in the first place.

The hardest cases to solve. Massone said, are hit-and-run deaths with no witnesses.

Robert Shaw was admitted to Lawrence General Hos- pital with head injuries.
