Boyle sought rival’s assassination in 1969 slayings
Special Prosecutor Sprague argued United Mine Workers President Tony Boyle ordered the killings of Jack Yablonski and later plotted to kill him again after a failed bid for the union presidency. Defense contends hired killers acted for Pass, a district official, with Boyle having no motive. The retrial follows a state Supreme Court ruling overturning aspects of the original conviction.
