There was also an indictment returned at that time and when the case went to trial, George McLane then took the witness stand and said he refused to testify on the ground - he exercised his privilege. I don't think he was ever confronted by anybody with it. Mr. PETERSON. O'Hara was then indicted but won a directed verdict on June 7, 1933. are important figures in the Capone organization. Campagna was one of those restrained in that order that I mentioned a few moments ago from looting the treasury of the Bartenders and Beverage Dispensers Union, Local 276 in 1940. From the East coast all the way to the West coast, and everything in between was controlled by twenty-some mob families. Tony Accardo was the most successful mob boss of all time.At the top for 48 years!To put that in perspective Al Capone was boss for 5 years(1925-30)and John Gotti from 1985 to his death in 2002,but more than half of that he was in jail.Accardo did it all,from young apprentice of Capone favorite "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn to shooter in the St .

His draft card in 1944 which was found on him when he was arrested carried the address of 5123 University Avenue. In 1948 investigators observed Gus Liebe and "Killer" Kane on duty as floormen at 4819 West Roosevelt Road where three dice games were being operated.

The Big Tuna himself died peacefully in 1992, having served close to a half-century at the helm of the Outfit and never doing any significant time behind bars. In a criminal career that spanned eight decades, he rose from small-time hoodlum to the position of day-to-day boss of the Chicago Outfit in 1947, to ultimately becoming the final Outfit authority in 1972.

Phil D'Andrea, as you know, was recently - in 1943 - convicted with other Capone gangsters in the movie extortion case. It was charged by the State's attorney's office in Chicago on August 21, 1941, that Pat Manno together with the others that I mentioned a few moments ago had attempted to loot or actually spent a large amount of that $910,000 from the Retail Clerks Protective Association. The premises on which the Primrose Bar in Los Angeles is located were previously owned by Jack Dragna, notorious west coast gangster who operated a vice resort upstairs. Should rap lyrics be used as evidence in court? Several months ago it was alleged that Harry Russell had "muscled" into the S. & G. Syndicate, Miami Beach, Fla. Harry Russell, together with his brother Dave Russell, operated a handbook at 186 North Clark Street, Chicago. Accardo must've been worried. Matt Capone became a fugitive for a time and later the case was dismissed against him with reference to this murder. Ralph Buglio's name was also mentioned in connection with the gang killing of Maurice Enright. And he and Swanson also had their throats slashed. Two persons familiar with crime. In the early 1920's while the Torrio-Capone organization was flourishing in Chicago, the principal underworld leader in New York City was Arnold Rothstein. I would have to check that, however. I believe Willie Heeney admitted that "Little New York" Campagna got 60 percent and Corngold got 15 percent from the Cicero "joints." DeMere approached Buglio and asked him to go outside for a conference and a few minutes later the shooting occurred. From 1934 to 1937 Evans was connected with the Equipment Loan & Discount Corp. On August of 1937 this corporation was merged with the Security Discount Co., 1000 North La Salle Street, Chicago, which Evans was operating at late as 1947.

Ralph O'Hara is a man who, when the Capone organization formed a Nation-wide news service for racing information in competition with the Continental Press, was virtually the manager of the service. The Italian-American Mafia, known as La Cosa Nostra, was doing great. About 70,000 people. He was indicted also by the Federal grand jury in New York City with Paul Ricca, Phil D'Andrea, Nitti, and the others in connection with the movie extortion. Now, of course, nobody can prove that that was the Capone syndicate, but there was certainly a lot of influence there on the part of people who didn't want the town closed up. I think Campagna indicated that he got around $200,000 as his share. No arrests were made until April 25, 2005, when 14 members of the Chicago Outfit (including reputed boss James Marcello) were .

It was claimed in particular that Evans had muscled into the Ruby Cleaners, 2801 West Montrose Avenue, Chicago. Interestingly he never spent a night in jail in his entire life.

Beginning in 1943, following the gang killings of Danny Stanton and Martin "Sonny Boy" Quirk, Sam Hunt became the generalissimo of Chicago's South Side gambling racket. At the time of Mangano's death he was riding in a car owned by Cavaliera. Harry Levinson was one of those men who could call Antonino Accardo a friend. After John Torrio left Chicago about 1929 is when Al Capone became the ruler of Chicago's underworld. In 1943 Ricca had a suit pending against the tenant and owner of a downtown building for personal injuries suffered during an elevator fall. I don't think it could be done, Senator.

That was prior to the time they were released from the penitentiary. He admitted he operated a pool hall owned by his brother and thathewas a poker dealer. Cicero has long been the headquarters for the Capone gang. Accardo was called to testify, but he took the fifth and revealed nothing. That gives a brief background of the beginning of the Capone syndicate. The CHAIRMAN. The offer was turned down. Matt Capone formerly operated a tavern called the Hall of Fame, 4839 Ogden Avenue, Cicero, Ill. John Larisen, a gambler and a doper of race track horses was shot and killed in the Hall of Fame tavern a few years ago. This man's name is Lester A. Kruse. Max Caldwell incidentally is presently located in Miami.

Then Michael Volpe, the man responsible for watching the house, was called to testify. On February 14, 1929 - I am sure you are all familiar with the St. Valentine's Day massacre in Chicago. Another important individual who apparently has had a falling out after the Moving Picture Operators Union, but his name should be remembered, is Nick Circella, alias Nick Dean. While he was slowly becoming an important voice in the Outfit, he wasnt ready to become the boss of the whole operation just yet. In recent years O'Hara and his wife spent some time in some of our big hotels down in Chicago. Mr. Peterson, what are the Whitely brands? Though he was eventually released, his health had so declined that he was unfit to lead the Chicago Outfit. The CHAIRMAN. But despite receiving multiple convictions for several crimes, Tony Accardo only ever spent one day in jail when he was picked up for questioning in a gambling case. In 1946 James M. Ragen, who was then part owner and manager of Continental Press, made a signed statement to the State's attorney in which he alleged that Tony Accardo, Murray Humphreys, and Jack Guzik, all of them members of the syndicate, attempted to muscle him out of 40 percent of the proceeds of the Continental Press, a racing information news service covering the entire United States. He never did any jail time in connection to these killings. Mr. PETERSON. Mr. PETERSON. Of course, the significance of the organized-crime problem is its effect on government. He lost an arm in an automobile accident several years ago, which gives rise to his nickname "Armie.". At that time O'Hara was working for Thomas Malloy in the Motion Picture Operators Union, which the press described as a $750,000-a-year racket. What position did you hold with the FBI when you left? Mr. PETERSON. A few years ago Rocco and Andrew De Grazio were indicted in Federal court in connection with a narcotics charge. S. Res. Max Caldwell, alias Max Pollack, an ex-convict, had been in charge of the union funds. Our files would probably show whether they are or not.

The second indictment alleged that four men, Frank J. When he went to work one morning he found his store in a mess. And so he bought a twenty-two room mansion at 915 Franklin Avenue for $125,000. At their meeting last year where you made a report, I believe it was, in Cleveland, Ohio. He, Evans, was indicted with these men and Louis Romano and Thomas Panton in 1940 on a charge of conspiracy in the bartenders' union that I mentioned previously. Mr. PETERSON. The CHAIRMAN. This is from recollection. The committee should know that that Mr. Peterson made every effort to have a copy of his statement that could be made public in the committee's hands by yesterday, so it could be mimeographed, but he found that the pressure of work was such that he just could not do it. I haven't gone too much into the government angle, although I may cover that somewhat in the testimony. Steven Garcia's throat had also been slashed from ear to ear, but instead of being shot, Garcia had multiple stab wounds. And of course, the mob also had to find a new leader. They recently just built a large addition to it. He is a prominent businessman. At least, they were, the last that I inquired. That was what it was. He was 85 and a lifelong resident of Hester. Were there subsequent developments? Other big betting commissioners in Chicago include Edward M. Dobkin, who has maintained offices at 325 West Madison Street, Chicago, as well as at other addresses. Since Frank Nitti committed suicide in 1943, Tony Accardo has frequently been considered the leader of the Capone syndicate. Heeney was arrested in 1926 as a suspect in the murder of an assistant State's attorney in Chicago. In order to cover his tracks and cut ties from the purge he set in motion, Accardo turned his wrath toward his own inner circle and the execution squad he had dispatched to do his bidding.
