The federal trial of Louis J. Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa veered from Brooklyn murder and Las Vegas lunacy to the poker game played by the authorities and turncoats when the trial's star witness told the jury of the immense pressure placed on him to cooperate against the two defendants. The two men are accused of working under Mr. Kaplan's direction while they were detectives to commit at least eight murders, seven of them for Anthony Casso, the No. 2 men in the Luchese crime family.
