    MOB-BRIBE JURY NAILS CARPENTERS By Laura Italiano, New York Post
    Two former officials of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters Local 608 were convicted in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday of accepting a $10,000 bribe from a Luchese associate.

    The bribe - passed over beers at a Midtown Hooters restaurant - was given so the officials would look the other way as a mob-connected contractor employed non-union workers to rehab the 900-room Park Central Hotel in 1998.

    The local's former president, Michael Forde, 50, and ex-business agent, Martin Devereaux, 53, face up to 25 years.
