OPINION OF THE COURT. 5 from a person named Dave who lived in Woburn and drove a taxi. Long had discussed this information with Scire, who was able to fully identify the Woburn source as one David Wells. Neither Long, eames nor Scire knew ' Maiorana personally. A search warrant was obtained for Wells’ apartment on February 12, 1974. It was not executed, as anticipated, on February 13 because Maiorana failed to contact. the undercover agent who had arranged to buy a gun there. On February 14, 1974, Guilmette and Long learned that Maiorana was going to sell Callagy some guns at the apart- ment, and the officers planned to execute the warrant upon @ signal from Callagy who was fitted with an electronic listening and signalling device. The signal was not given, however, because there were no guns in the apartment when Callagy, Fleischman, and Maiorana went there Callagy informed Guilmette about 10:30 in the evening of February 14 that Maiorana had told him and Fleisch- — man that he had robbed Friendly’s ice cream store in Woburn and a taxi stand. The officers knew the store had been robbed at 7:30 P.M. by a man meeting Maiorana’s description and carrying a large hand gun. Long was informed on the morning of February 15 by Guilmette that Maiorana had phoned Callagy that morning and told him that the guns could be bought that day and that he would meet Callagy at Wells’ apartment about noon.. Long met with the other officers involved and Callagy and Fleisch- man in the parking lot of the Woburn Police Department about noontime. Callagy and Fleischman were introduced to the others and the plan for the execution of the warrant and the arrest was outlined. Both Callagy and Fleischman told the officers that Maiorana had a .357 Magnum and had told them that the reason he carried it was to give him the edge on any cop (since the policé only had .38 re- volvers) and had stated that he was not going to be taken sae
