Special Town Meeting on Oct. 1 approved several spending requests, but rejected a proposal to give the Conservation Commission custody of a town-owned parcel on the site of the former Plymouth County Hospital. On its second night, the meeting was not able to proceed due to lack of a quorum, and it was decided to adjourn rather than reconvene on another night. The sponsors of the remaining articles can resubmit their proposals at the annual Town Meeting next spring. Among the articles not taken up were proposed bylaws governing stormwater management and actions in the flood plain district, and a proposal to name the Hanson train station after Lieutenant David Colin Hall, a Hanson resident who was killed in action during the Vietnam War in 1967.

Former hit man John V. Martorano says he’s no serial killer — and he tried to be a ‘nice guy’
In an intense and sometimes bizarre verbal battle with defense attorneys for James “Whitey” Bulger, ex-hit man John V. Martorano insisted today he is “a nice guy’’ who should not be considered a serial killer, even though he has murdered 20 people. “Were you a serial killer?” defense attorney Henry Brennan asked Martorano as the cross-examination of Bulger’s former henchman got underway in US District Court today. “No,’’ Martorano replied “Serial killers kill until they get caught or stop. I confessed my murders. Serial killers kill for fun. They like it. ... I never liked it. I never had any joy.”
