Trial alleges ex-governor Pat Brown denies $25000 transfer link
In a libel trial against Look magazine, Pat Brown dismissed reports he accepted $25,000 from mob figure Fratianno to transfer him from Folsom to easier prison, calling the tale balderdash. Testimony traced notes from reporter Carlson and deposition by Thomas, who disputed key specifics and admitted anonymity. Brown said he never received the money and never knew Fratiano.
