BOSTON — An aging former mob associate in the witness protection program told a federal jury Thursday that he introduced a fellow son of Providence to one of the men accused of murdering his friend: former crime boss Francis P. “Cadillac Frank” Salemme.
 

Thomas Hillary, 73, said childhood friend Steven DiSarro was a “sweetheart of a guy” who opened a nightclub with top mob figures, including Salemme, as secret partners.
 

What DiSarro knew about the mob, and Salemme’s fears that he would testify about it, got him killed exactly 25 years ago Thursday, prosecutors say. DiSarro’s body was found in 2016 behind a mill building on Branch Avenue in Providence.

Hillary’s testimony, on the second day of trial, provided an early look inside organized crime in New England and how it operated from Providence to Boston: brazen rip-offs, intimidation and violence.
