Still, whenever Accardo was called to court to testify on his involvement with the Outfit, he firmly denied any and all allegations. 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. On July 18, 1932, John Capone, then 29 years of age, was arrested with his bodyguard who at that time was Rocco Fischetti. A Dutch journalist living in Atlanta, Tim Brinkhof graduated from New York University, where he studied modern history at the graduate level. It happened 40 years ago this month, in the early morning hours of January 6, 1978. He has been the part owner of the El Patio gambling place at 5914 West Cermak Road, together with Joe Corngold. Campagna was one of the early bodyguards for Al Capone. It begins at Cicero Boulevard or Avenue, which is about 48 blocks west. What is the estimated amount of money he has in those enterprises? He admitted he operated a pool hall owned by his brother and thathewas a poker dealer. Hetogs was the final member of the crew of burglars who could have been or were involved in the burglary of Accardo's home. He allegedly owned a home at 5352 LaGorce Drive. Mr. PETERSON. Ralph Capone's conviction was upheld when the case was appealed. He is a. big automobile dealer on Chicago's East, Side, too. Although indicted on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, the case was nolle prossed by the State on April 10, 1931. At the time of Mangano's death he was riding in a car owned by Cavaliera. The De Grazios. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Ruth Louque. The CHAIRMAN. Kastel received large sums of money for the promotion of William Whitely liquors in the United States through the Alliance Distributors, which was controlled by Irving Haim in 1934 Costello obtained the agency contract for Whitely brands which he transferred to Alliance Distributors, of which Irving Haim was the principal owner. On June 7, 1934, when he was arrested, he was in the company of Matt Capone, Ralph Capone, brothers of Al, and Denis Cooney, who was a powerful figure in the Capone syndicate. On September 18, 1925, Pat Manno was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct and placed on probation for 1 year. In connection with De Grazio's income tax evasion case, when he was being charged with income-tax evasion, Federal agents seized him at his home at 1049 North Elwood Avenue, Oak Park, in 1934. In recent years O'Hara and his wife spent some time in some of our big hotels down in Chicago. A call was made to Las Vegas where The Outfit's Anthony Spilotro (photo left) protected the mob's casino skimming operations. And that wasnt the only setback for the mob. I have the details of that in our files which I can make available to you. He returned to Chicago after having served his Federal sentence on February 27, 1934. I said that Joseph Aiuppa was allegedly one of the owners of the Taylor Manufacturing Co. in Cicero. In March 1933 Humphreys and Charles Fischetti were taken into custody for questioning with reference to the murder of the secretary of the Hoisting and Portable Engineers Union, local 569. The CHAIRMAN. 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. All right. As early as 1932 the press reported that Rocco, Andrew, and Nick De Grazia were in control of slot machines for the syndicate in the western suburbs. The CHAIRMAN. Throughout the United States the mob held sway. Capone's bodyguard at that time was Phil D'Andrea, who, true to form, appeared in court with a concealed weapon and was sentenced by a. The offense charged in the indictment was described as follows : Guzik and Kruse financed a scheme whereby miniature broadcasts were used to carry racing information to the 81 Club and so on. And for a while, it was unclear who the best man for the job would be. He has been arrested on numerous occasions which include one by the New Orleans police in 1928, by the Memphis, Tenn., police in February 1928. His father left unfulfilled a dying promise to arrange for Buddy's care after he was gone. They began operations in Louisiana in 1934, and it is claimed that the first year of their activities there netted them about $800,000. This was a night club which featured big-time gambling. During the court hearings the Government produced evidence showing that Ralph Capone maintained five separate accounts at the Pinkert State Bank, Cicero, Ill., under the names of Ralph Capone, James Costello, Jr., James Carson, James Carter, and James Carroll, and that he had deposited in these accounts approximately a half million dollars. Mr. PETERSON. Mr. SHENKER. The CHAIRMAN. I was under the impression that that was who it was. Mr. PETERSON. In 1942 he was indicted along with other important members of the policy racketeers, namely, Julius Benvenuti, Edward Jones, George Jones, McKissick Jones, Pat Manno, Julian Black, and numerous others by the Cook County Grand Jury. CHICAGO Tony (Big Tuna) Accardo, reputedly the longtime head of the Chicago mob and a former associate of gangster Al Capone, died Wednesday night. In 1974, Giancana was arrested by Mexican authorities and returned to America. There is just a little bit left leading up to the background of the Capone gang here, and then perhaps that would be a good breaking off point. Mr. Brown's testimony is included in part 4 of the committee's hearings.). Two persons familiar with crime. Mr. PETERSON. The Federal grand jury returned an indictment charging the following violated the Federal Communications Act : Jack Guzik, 7240 Louella ; Leslie A. Kruse, alias Kane, 5206 Oakton Street, Niles Center; Maurice L. Goldstein, alias M. L. Goldie. It seemed as if the group of burglars who were responsible for the grave insult had all been dealt with, but Accardo wasn't finished. I don't think he was ever confronted by anybody with it. Accardo allegedly took over as mob chief when Ricca retired in 1968, although he deferred to Ricca until he died in 1972. The store was owned by a friend of Accardo a Jewish bookie paying the Big Tuna protection money. On one legitimate thing I think his income was supposed to have been $10,000 a year. By the late 1940s the "Capone mob" was called The Outfit, and was run by Antonino "Joe Batters" Accardo (photo right). The Italian-American Mafia, known as La Cosa Nostra, was doing great. However, that association began before that time, where both the Fischettis and the Kings have spent a large amount of time recently. Time goes fast. As a matter of background, he is a cousin of Al Capone and has been an important member of the syndicate for the greater part of three decades. It is known that a burglary gang has hung around the Primrose Bar in Los Angeles. When Torrio became the leader of Chicago's underworld upon the death of Big Jim Colosimo on May 11, he selected, as his chief lieutenant, Al Capone, then 23 years of age. ORGANIZED CRIME IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE, UNITED STATES SENATE 1. That is a generalization. They were convicted in Federal court in New York City in 1943. Going back again a long time in 1924, that is when I think I mentioned this morning they actually took over the town out there in an election, manned it with machine guns, and that sort of thing. Nothing had been stolen but the house had been ransacked. He had decided to appoint Joseph Ferriola as boss. Nicholas De Grazia, 121 Twenty-second Avenue, Melrose Park, Ill., has been another important figure in the Capone syndicate's gambling operations. He was also one of those arrested in 1935 as a suspect in the murder of Thomas Malloy, boss of the motion-pictures operators' union in Chicago. 1 and the czar of business rackets in Chicago. In the past he has spent a large amount of time at Russell's Silver Bar, 400 South State Street, Chicago, operated by Harry Russell, a big shot in the gambling set-up in Chicago and more recently in Florida. Despite receiving multiple convictions, he never spent any serious time in jail. The representatives of Joe Adonis remained in the Chicago area for about. In fact, Capone trusted Accardo so much that he may have even asked him to participate in the 1929 St. Valentines Day Massacre. Well, there were some problems. He has a long criminal record. Sam "Golf Bag" Hunt, whose real name is Samuel McPherson Hunt, has been closely associated with many prominent members of the Capone syndicate including Murray Humphreys, Ralph Pierce, Jack Guzik, Charles Fischetti, and others. On October 1, 1926, he was indicted, together with Al Capone, the mayor and chief of police of Cicero, Ill., and many others. He also maintains a residence address at, 3100 North Sheridan Road in Chicago, where his brothers, Rocco and Joe, live. For a while, Frank Nitti stepped up to take Capones place as boss. All right, Mr. Peterson, if you will carry on. Joe Fusco, designated several years ago as a public enemy, during the prohibition era was a principal lieutenant in the Capone syndicate, handling the manufacture and distribution of illicit beer. I think he was shot in Chicago, as a matter of fact. They were charged in a Federal indictment with having conspired to violate the prohibition laws. Please check your browser settings or contact your system administrator. Phil D'Andrea, who supposedly is in bad health now, formerly the bodyguard for Al Capone, was convicted along with the other Capone gangsters. At that time they were charged with violation of the National Prohibition Act. Mr. PETERSON. And by the 1940s, the "Capone mob" controlled Chicago. Mr. Peterson, at that point, that is a statement of fact, and how do you know that? Frank Costello of New York has admitted having an acquaintanceship with Ricca several years ago. It was also understood that Epstein visited Mexico City in the early part of 1949, where he met Virginia. Did they return what they made on Federal income tax returns? Maddox originated from St. Louis, Mo., where he was convicted for burglary on August 5, 1919. Mr. HALLEY. As of 1944, Sam Hunt was allegedly an official of the Drexel Wine & Liquor Co., Thirty-ninth and Cottage Grove Avenue. The CHAIRMAN. While Accardo had advised Giancana to keep your head down, Giancana did not listen. The Government interpreted pari-mutuel betting odds and racing results as lottery price lists and alleged these defendants conspired to decentralize Nationwide News Service.and take over its business through the formation of Continental Press Service of which Arthur McBride was then director. Wide open gambling operations have taken place at this establishment for many years. Jack Guzik was then the business manager of the illegal empire controlled by Capone. Mr. PETERSON. However, he is a friend of Willie Heeney, one of the old time Capone syndicate operators in Cicero. That was before the Taft-Hartley Act, in 1943. Accardo was called to testify, but he took the fifth and revealed nothing. During that time, he used his status to move the criminal organization into new operations and territories bringing it more power and wealth than it had seen in years. FURTHER TESTIMONY OF VIRGIL W. PETERSON, OPERATING DIRECTOR, CHICAGO CRIME COMMISSION, REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION. John Capone, another brother of Al Capone, at one time resided at 5400 South Park Boulevard. Other members of the Capone family include Mafalda, a sister, who is married to John Maritote, who is a brother of Frank Maritote, commonly known as Frank Diamond, who was also involved in the million dollar extortion plot on the movie industry. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. PETERSON. Senator WILEY. Heres a list, Before and after photos from space show storms effect on California reservoirs, 19 cafes that make L.A. a world-class coffee destination, Stationmaster arrested after train collision in Greece kills at least 36, Ohios senators to unveil rail safety bill in wake of East Palestine derailment, After months of pounding, Ukrainian official says military may pull back from Bakhmut, Elizabeth Holmes cites her new baby as a reason she should avoid prison for Theranos scam, What time is it on the moon? Guzik's brother-in-law, Louis Lipschultz, has been active in Cook County. I think they are all citizens within my knowledge. He had the plumbing refitted with gold fixtures and added a massive barbecue pit to the backyard. Sedway's testimony apparently did not carry a whole lot of weight, as the final 11,500-page Kefauver Committee report included just four pages from the Las Vegas proceedings. In 1943 -. On a plea of guilty to petit larceny he was sentenced to the house of correction for 6 months. I would have to check. De Stefano controls a chain of retail liquor stores in which Fusco is supposed to have an interest or did have an interest. In 1944 it was alleged that Gus Alex, Hymie Levin, Gus Liebe, and others were connected with the notorious gambling. I believe it represents 10,300 municipalities and cities. In March 1943 Lester Kane, who gave his address at that time as 2437 Greenleaf, was arrested with Ralph Pierce, 6514 South Morgan Street, for questioning in connection with the murder of Estelle Carey. Ralph Buglio's name was also mentioned in connection with the gang killing of Maurice Enright. Ricca frequently has used the name of DeLucia, and the owner of record of the property in Long Beach, Ind., is in the name of Nancy DeLucia. Campagna was paroled from the Federal penitentiary on August 13, 1947, together with Paul Ricca and Charles Gioe. That covers it I think, mostly. Jack Guzik himself was charged with evasion of income tax for the years 1927, 1928, and 1929. When an attempt was made to start in business in competition with the syndicate it would fail, because the new operators could not get a union label on their machines from the electrical workers' union. A five-bedroom, 6,200-square-foot Colonial-style mansion in River Forest once owned by legendary Chicago Outfit figure Anthony "Tony" Accardo sold Friday for $1.13 million exactly half what. At his last appearance before the committee in 1984, he denied any role in the Chicago mob. Most of those activities of course were in the bootlegging field. He was tried and acquitted of that charge and was represented by Rothstein's attorney. Mr. PETERSON. Apparently, Capone gangsters intended to kill Bugs Moran, Willie Marks, and Ted Newberry, all of whom were North Side underworld leaders. Following the 1924 election, Cicero became the headquarters for the Torrio-Capone combination, and an influence of the members of this organization has been strong until the present time. 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. What did their tax returns show? (Whereupon, at 6 :05 p. m., the committee recessed until 10 a. m. Friday, July 7, 1950. In recent years August Circella owned and operated the Gold Coast Lounge, on North Rush Street. Senator WILEY. The CHAIRMAN. Most of the upper echelon was there, including Tony Accardo. Mr. Peterson's statement will take approximately 4 or 4 1/2 hours more and he has to leave at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon; so, much as the committee hates to work overtime and anybody else hates to work overtime, we will have to go on for 30 minutes this afternoon. The CHAIRMAN. Named in the injunction were Louis Romano, president of the union, Frank Nitti, Murray Humphreys, Louis "Little New York" Campagna, Fred Evans, and Paul Ricca. Sedway's testimony apparently did not carry a whole lot of weight, as the final 11,500-page Kefauver Committee report included just four pages from the Las Vegas proceedings. Borselino and Carusiello had participated in the epic bloodletting of the burglary crew that dared to boost the boss. Nobody was ever arrested for any of the murders. That is right, special agent in charge of the Boston office of the FBI. The CHAIRMAN. In recent years in addition to operating the Lumber Gardens in Melrose Park, he has been in control of the syndicate's football pool operations in Cook County. Borselino was a member of the notorious westside Wild Bunch, a group of grizzled Cicero enforcers tasked with the Outfits most difficult jobs. He was taken to the Jackson Park Hospital in Chicago, where he recovered. DeMere approached Buglio and asked him to go outside for a conference and a few minutes later the shooting occurred. He had been robbed of over $1 million in jewelry. After his recovery he served his jail sentence and then he abdicated his underworld throne in Chicago to Al Capone. That is right. It ships a considerable amount of equipment to Nevada and other places. I believe there was testimony introduced in the congressional hearings with reference to the parole a year ago. I have the one extra copy that I gave to your committee here. Europe and others push for a standard lunar time zone. The CHAIRMAN. They were convicted in Federal court in New York City in 1943. The committee will meet in the morning at 10 o'clock in room 457 of the Senate Office Building, when Mr. Peterson will resume his testimony. Mr. PETERSON. Most of these individuals are still important members of the Capone syndicate in 1950. are important figures in the Capone organization. At the time of the accident Ricca was in the company of Charles Fischetti and Joseph Fischetti. These persons were charged with conspiring to violate the Federal lottery laws by distributing price lists across State lines. (That said, when Ricca was released from prison a few years later, the two men were said to share some power in practice for at least some time.). His death marks the end of the Capone era, the Chicago Crime Commission added. Tony Accardo, frequently regarded as one of the leading members of the syndicate, resides at 1431 Ashland Avenue, River Forest, which is a very choice residential suburb of Chicago. In May 1931 Ralph Capone was allegedly operating the Casanova Club, 1025 North State Street, Chicago, Ill. With reference to the Federal income-tax violation Ralph Capone received a sentence of 3 years in a Federal penitentiary and a $10,000 fine in one case, a similar sentence in a second case and a year in the Cook County House of Correction and a $10,000 fine in the third indictment. Of course, both denied any implication and they were released. Campagna has made a fortune from gambling activities in Cook County. He worked as Capones chauffeur and bodyguard before becoming captain of his own street crew. He is vice president and general manager of the Gold Seal Liquors, Inc. And to this day, not nearly as many people know Accardos name. In particular, he became entrenched in a Chicago suburb called Burnham, Ill., with the assistance of John Patton, who became known as the boy mayor of Burnham. The CHAIRMAN. No more ties to Accardo. The CHAIRMAN. "Tony Accardo is Joe Batters" takes place in 1920s America and introduces the title character, Tony Accardo, a brutal associate of Al Capone and notorious hired killer for the mob. The police learned that Ralph Buglio and DeMere had been in the Plantation Cafe just prior to the shooting. Mr. PETERSON. That is right. When Mayor LaGuardia conducted his campaign against the slot-machine operations of Costello and Kastel in New York, they negotiated with officials of Louisiana and began large-scale slot-machine operations there. I think a man by the name of Crowley is the business agent of the union at the present time. The principal purpose of my testimony is first to show the growth and development of some of the major gangs and the connections between these major gangs and many other sections of the country. On April 7, 1925, the press reported a raid on the headquarters of the Torrio-Capone gang, which was then located at 2146 South Michigan Boulevard. Dobkin has been a betting commissioner for many years. In 1946 Hunt had an interest in a tavern at Sixty-third and Cottage Grove Avenue, Chicago. Until 1921 Kastel had operated a bucket shop under the name of Dillon & Co., which it was claimed resulted in swindling clients out of approximately a half million dollars.
