"In his final summation after 12-week trial, Special Prosecu tor Matthew Boylan did no de mand the death penalty. He conceded that the state\'s case was weak in not fully develop ing the alleged motive. The prosecution said the 21- year-old Mrs. Kavanaugh was strangled and shot because she was about to expose a counter feit ring headed by Harold Matzner, a newspaper execu tive. The defendants are Mr. Matz ner and his wife, Dorothe, 37; Vincent Kearney Jr, 29, a for mer Paterson numbers runner, and Paul Kavanaugh, 26, the victim\'s husband and a news paper deliverer for Mr. Matz ner\'s publishing company in Wayne.
