He also was charged with attempting to murder Vladimer Jadick, a government witness in the case, in 1991, the indictment said.

Mr. Dellorusso's codefendant in the extortion charges, Anthony Razza, secretary-treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 851, was arrested and indicted Sept. 9. The government last week asked U.S. District Court Judge Eugene J. Nickerson to allow the trustee of "sister" Local 295 to take control of Local 851.
