Louis J. Eppolito Eppolito
These 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. They stand accused of taking part in at least eight murders for the mob. Mr. Kaplan's most gripping testimony, however, was the account in which he told how 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.
