Sinkhole halts Green Line service
A sinkhole under the Green Line tracks in Brighton prompted the T to suspend trolley service between Washington Street and Boston College. Riders will have to take buses along the mile-long section of the B line branch, which includes four stations. Joe Pesaturo, spokesman for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, said the sinkhole was first noticed yesterday at midday, and it was initially about 2 feet in diameter. A trolley operator reported the problem and trolley service was halted. The sinkhole then grew and expanded under both the eastbound and westbound tracks at Sutherland Road in Brighton. The cause was believed to be a broken sewer line 17 feet underground, and a Boston Water and Sewer Commission worker rushed to the scene. Service probably will be restored tomorrow, Pesaturo said.
Man says he lied during '99 mob trial
A Boston man has pleaded guilty to perjury and obstruction of justice for lying on the stand during a 1999 mob trial. Timothy L. O'Toole Jr., 60, pleaded guilty on Friday to eight counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice for giving false and evasive testimony during the 1999 federal trial of 15 men indicted for their part in a Mafia power struggle, prosecutors said. O'Toole was stabbed in 1994 during the war between those loyal to Patriarca family boss Francis P. Salemme Jr. and a dissident faction. Fifteen members of that faction were indicted in 1997 on murder, attempted murder, and other charges. O'Toole faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison on the obstruction count, and five years on each of the perjury counts. He also faces three years probation and a $250,000 fine on each count. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 16. (AP)

SPRINGFIELD
Shooting suspect held without bail
A Springfield man was ordered held without bail after pleading not guilty yesterday to charges of murdering 19-year-old Daylan Shepard, who was gunned down in July almost two months after his twin brother was killed in another shooting.

Hampden District Attorney William Bennett said Morales saw Shepard walking down the street, pulled his car over, and opened fire. ''He shot numerous times at the victim," with a 9mm pistol, Bennett said. Although police say Morales was the gunman, another Springfield man, Leo White, 20, will be arraigned on murder charges later this week in connection with the shooting, Bennett said.
