There were a few of the vivid details offered at the racketeering trial of the retired detectives, Louis J. Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, in Federal District Court in Brooklyn. The most gripping testimony, however, was the account in which Mr. Eppolito, 57, and Mr. Caracappa, 64, had taken part in the contract killings of Israel Greenwald, a Long Island diamond dealer, and Edward Lino, a Gambino family captain, and in the kidnapping of James Hydell, a would-be mob assassin. Mr. Kaplan told the jury that as Mr. Lino bent down in his seat, Mr. Caracappa shot him in the head.
