21 Arrest in Ohio crashes new life of Mass. escawee THE BOSTON GLORE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1994 Convicted killer fled on Election Day '88 memories of a killer who fooled police for over a year. "It was a very terrible thing," said Rev. William Foster of St Ther-ese's Church, where Barry first confessed his crime. "These things fade, but I'm sure people will be relieved." Lt.

James Henry of the Everett police said his department had never given up hope that Barry would be brought to justice. "This is great news, just wonderful," he said. "It just shows, you can't stay under forever." Barry was held last night at the Summit County Jail in Akron, and will appear at an extradition hearing in US District Court this morning. Carnevale said he will face escape charges in Massachusetts, and could have 10 years added to his sentence. Carnevale said he expects "Unsolved Mysteries" to go ahead with its feature on Barry, despite his recapture.

"I'm sure they'll still run it," he said. "Now they'll just add this happy ending." i I ed to solve," said correction department spokesman Anthony Carne-vale. "The task force did a heck of a job here." Carnevale said second-degree murderers serving life sentences in Massachusetts are no longer eligible for work release until they have a date set for a parole hearing. An embarrassed Gov. Weld sponsored the reform after murderer and six-time escapee Robert Stewart fled his work-release program and shot a Shirley police officer in April.

Timing significant. Weld, of course, runs for reelection today. Former Gov. Michael S. Dukakis lost his bid for the presidency the day Barry escaped, and many thought that ads blasting his furlough programs for Massachusetts inmates played a role in that defeat "The ironies are just incredible, right on the eve of another election," Carnevale said.

"But I think there's a real question to be asked: How could a second-degree lifer with no parole in sight be on a work crew?" Last night in Everett, news of Barry's arrest brought back painful TIMOTHY BARRY ID'd after DUI arrest Day escape. In April 1979, Barry confessed to the slaying of Nancy Ellen Brown, also of Everett, who had been missing since October 1977. Barry led police to a sand dune at Crane's Beach Reservation in Ipswich, where he had buried her in a shallow grave after bludgeoning her with a shovel and stabbing her with a fillet knife. Barry pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, and would have been eligible for parole from the medium-security Bay State Correctional Center in Norfolk in April 1994. But on Nov.

8, 1988, he walked away from a work crew moving furniture and cleaning the correction department's old parole office on the 22d floor of the Saltonstall Building in downtown Boston. Last year, a Summitt County, Ohio, deputy sheriff arrested John Prendiville for drunken driving in Akron. Prendiville was acquitted, but his fingerprints and mug shots were submitted to an Ohio identification bureau. Those prints were re- CAPTURED Continued from Page 19 said Barry had a calmer reaction. "What took you so long?" Barry said, according to Colitre.

Settled In new life Barry, who worked as a truck driver in Akron, and his wife, who works part-time at a dry cleaner's down the street from the couple's apartment, were married in June, Colitre said. Reached at home last night, Lorraine Prendiville had little to say. "I have no idea what's going on," she said. "I don't want to talk about it." Barry has been one of the correction department's 10 most wanted fugitives ever since he escaped six years ago today, 10 years into a life sentence for the murder of his sister-in-law. A crew from the NBC show "Unsolved Mysteries" came to Boston six weeks ago to film a segment reenacting Barry's Election 40-50 OFF DTiT CUSTOM I AKI PA I JS cently matched to a Massachusetts wanted notice, leading to Barry's arrest by the multi-agency Violent Fugitive Task Force.

Investigators flew to Akron yesterday, and met with the deputy who had made the drunken driving arrest.

SINCE 1911 SENTRY, 1990 ob associate tells court of role in bribe Celebrate Your Memories with Describes nonunion labor scheme By Judy Rakowsky GLOBE STAFF Video Photo Alburns the first cash payment, $25,000, from the producer. Hillary testified that he met Raymond J. Patriarca, the reputed leader of the New England Mafia during the scheme, growing up in Providence and that he later became a driver for Patriarca's father, Raymond L. S. Patriarca, head of the New England family.

Hillary testified in US District Court yesterday that he served as a conduit for messages between ranking mobsters in Boston and Providence in the 1980s, and as the linchpin in a bribery scheme between the Teamsters and a purported low-budget movie producer. Hillary's testimony was made in the trial of two former local Teamsters officials who are charged with accepting bribes in 1989 from a film maker, actually an undercover FBI agent, to allow him to use nonunion labor in his movie. Hillary, 48, said that local Mafia soldiers Ted Fuccillo and Frank P.

Salemme Jr. jumped at the chance to make money by using their Teamsters' connections to help the supposed movie producer save money on nonunion wages. In testimony and on tapes on recorded without his knowledge, Hillary, now a witness in a government protection program, also trumpeted a strong link between organized crime and William J. McCarthy, former head of the 1.6 million-member International Brotherhood of Hillary testified that he approached Fuccillo, a reputed Mafia member, because he learned Fuccillo was the Patriarca family member closest to McCarthy. "Any union is no problem," Hillary said.

When the informant, Robert Franchi, said the Teamsters was the union in question, Hillary responded, "Oh, beautiful, I pray it is." "I'll reach out in two seconds, and let me tell you something, that you can go to bed it's done," Hillary added on the June 1989 tape. Hillary said his initial sponsor, Fuccillo, arranged for introductions to James Moar, former vice president of Local 25 and William Winn, former transportation captain, now on trial. The Teamsters' scheme dated back to 1988, Hillary said, when he first enlisted Fuccillo. He told Franchi the bribe money would be divided among them, reputed soldier Dennis Lepore and Raymond J. Patriarca.

The scheme proceeded with Fuc-cillo's sponsorship until a meeting with the producer, actually agent Garland Schweickhardt, during which Hillary spotted an FBI sur NowA III A 191 ft mt if or a i offier Time, BAYBANK HOME EQUITY LINE Suffolk jail captain is fired for what sheriff alleges is Vendetta' against superior By John Ellement GLOBE STAFF Our Regular Low Rate A Special Low Introductory Rate Get A Special Low Fixed Rate Through March 18, 1996.

But Rufo said in a statement MacMillan has shown himself incapable of overseeing 1,330 inmates at the South Bay prison, saying he fired him because MacMillan was "creating an atmosphere of disharmony within the department." In a telephone interview last night, MacMillan said he was fired because "I blew the whistle" and was perceived by Rufo's administrators as disloyal. He scoffed at the idea he was acting on McGrath's behalf. "Rocky didn't need Jay MacMillan to pick up the sword for him," he said. "If I was trying to carry out a vendetta against the department, against Twomey, I would have given that tape to the FBI." MacMillan, 37, a nine-year veteran of the Suffolk County correction department, vowed to challenge his dismissal by using legal avenues that protect whistleblowers from improper retaliation by employers. He said his record in the department had been unblemished.

Rufo said that an investigation established there was no basis for MacMillan's allegations against Twomey. Administration officials said the videotape did not show what MacMillan said it showed. Rufo and correctional officers have been at odds for three years, ever since the Legislature gave him control over the new South Bay House of Correction, which replaced the archaic prison on Deer Island. The major collective bargaining contracts in the department are open. Guards have complained that Rufo 4dews legitimate labor disputes as acts of disloyalty.

A commander at the South Bay House of Correction was fired yesterday for allegedly mounting a vendetta against the No. 2 man in the Suffolk County sheriffs department, Sheriff Robert C. Rufo said. In a press release, Rufo said that Capt. James E.

MacMillan admitted to department investigators that he was engaged in a vendetta against a superior, Superintendent John Two-mey, because he blamed Twomey for the death of a colleague. MacMillan denied Rufo's allegation and said he was punished because he is a "whistleblower." MacMillan's colleague, Capt. John (Rocky) McGrath, retired in 1992. He died Sept. 9 while playing racquetball with MacMillan.

On Sept. 28, MacMillan went to department investigators with a videotape given to him by McGrath -purporting to show a correction officer saying that Twomey was having inmates build furniture for him and then was smuggling it out of the prison, Rufo said. Rufo asserted that MacMillan told the department investigators that he was bringing allegations of corruption against Twomey to "avenge the death of Rocky." The sheriff did not explain how McGrath's death was purportedly linked to any action by Twomey. After that, MacMillan was put on administrative leave with pay, an action that led other employees to contact the media bid assert a whistle-blower was being silenced.
