Mr. PETERSON. 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. Gus Liebe has been a manager for numerous gambling joints. Tony Accardo died on May 22, 1992, from congestive heart failure and acute respiratory failure. 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. Even as he got older, he continued to insist that he was a beer salesman and nothing more. In other words, I am paving the way to show that these men are still prominent - not all of them. I have the exact name of the association in our files which I will make available to you if you want it. Mr. PETERSON. Too much time. The police recovered records which revealed that John Torrio, John Patton, Al. They then asked me to come here as their representative. Humphreys has also been involved in kidnaping. John Borsellino and Gerry Carusiello had taken care of the burglars and had now themselves been taken care of. 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. By the late 1970s he had stepped back, letting others do the work and take the heat. . The Chicago Daily News on April 30, 1929, stated, reporting the testimony: Three witnesses supplied the testimony regarding the machine-gun deal through the Cicero police with the Capone dog track, which was owned by John Patton, boy mayor of Burnham, and Jack Guzik, business manager for Capone. Borselino and Carusiello had participated in the epic bloodletting of the burglary crew that dared to boost the boss. That was before the paroles. Senator WILEY. He is presently suspected of being the respectable front in the liquor industry for the syndicate. At his last appearance before the committee in 1984, he denied any role in the Chicago mob. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); They were charged in a Federal indictment with having conspired to violate the prohibition laws. 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. But judging by Accardos relatively modest lifestyle, you might not guess that he was a wealthy man. He is one of the big-shot policy racketeers on Chicago's South Side. I am not sure. On the income-tax evasion I am inclined to think they were on that. Is that the name of the syndicate? That is merely an estimate, of course. At least, they were, the last that I inquired. In 1932 it was alleged that Humphreys and others were attempting to dominate the teamsters union. What was the result of that? I wonder if during the lunch hour, from the point where Mr. Peterson leaves off, copies could be made. Please check your browser settings or contact your system administrator. Conditions haven't changed too much in the last 30 years insofar as that situation is concerned. The CHAIRMAN. Much like Capone, Giancana craved attention and loved the limelight. I don't think it could be done, Senator. My recollection is that Campagna's wife is also a part owner of that shop. Paul Ricca, 812 Lathrop Avenue, River Forest, Ill., is frequently considered the top ranking member of the Capone syndicate. Mr. PETERSON. He threw an extravagant wedding for his daughter, took his wife on an extended vacation to Europe, and picked up deep sea fishing as a hobby. That way, he could help bookmakers set the odds and collect on bets. 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. Phil was an intelligent and fair gangster. He has resided at 1927 North Normandy in Chicago. The Chicago Crime Commission, as I understand it, is a voluntary association supported by contributions of the interested citizens; is that correct? 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. An important lieutenant of Hunt on the South Side is Hyman Gottfreed. No, it was a State-wide trade liquor association. In order to prevent juke-box operators from stealing each other's customers they formed an association known as the Illinois Phonograph Owners Association, and officers of this association several years ago were Danny Pallagi, associated with Fred Morelli of the Century Music Co., Joseph Mahoney, associate of Eddie Vogel and Joseph Peskin. On July 30, 1931, O'Hara was indicted by the Cook County grand jury on a charge of conspiracy. He was once charged with the time-worn badger game. Accardo family members and Michael Volpe, a handyman for Accardo who discovered the burglary, appeared before the grand jury, represented by appellee Carl M. Walsh. After moving in, Accardo added a $10,000 black onyx bathtub and an indoor, two-lane bowling alley. 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. ORGANIZED CRIME IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE, UNITED STATES SENATE Dobkin has been a betting commissioner for many years. I believe Mr. Newton from Denver. Spilotro had been a burglar and knew the Chicago scene. Mr. PETERSON. A photo of Accardo standing with a freshly caught 400-pound tuna fish would later earn him a new nickname in the press: Big Tuna.. Albert Capone, another brother, has had his name legally changed in Miami to Albert John Rayola. Campagna has made a fortune from gambling activities in Cook County. Mr. HALLEY. I see you have about three more pages on Chicago. Mr. Peterson, at that point, that is a statement of fact, and how do you know that? In fact, information has been received that after the $70,000 fire at the Tavern Distributing, Inc., records and appliance division in Miami, on June 15, 1947, Anthony De Lordo actually tried to contact Sam Taran by telephone. He financed many important underworld leaders in their activities, and among those who were close to Rothstein and who benefited from his financial assistance were Frank Costello, Eddie Costello, a brother of Frank, George Uffner, a dealer in narcotics who was closely associated with Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Dandy Phil Kastel. ; William G. O'Brien, alias William Keough, Chicago, former Nation-wide representative in the Southeast with headquarters in Miami ; William Molasky, St. Louis, indicted with Annenberg on tax charges, formerly associated with Pioneer News Service in St: Louis; Morris Kopit, St. Louis, gambler and associate of Molasky. He was picked up, arrested, following that. The CHAIRMAN.

Mr. Peterson, before you start your formal statement I thought we should have a further word about the American Municipal Association. 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. He was 86. In 1948 Peskin was a distributor of juke boxes under the name of the Automatic Music Instruments Co. in States of California, Nevada, and Washington. Anthony Spilotro was a soldier and enforcer for the Chicago Outfit who was . The house was built by a millionaire manufacturer in 1930 for $500.000. Recently Aiuppa has been allegedly operating the Turf Club and Paddock Lounge, Cicero, gambling joint. In 1941 he had an interest in the Individual Towel Co. which at that time had a $45,000 annual contract with the Chicago Board of Education, resulting in action by the State's attorney's office. He is a felon, having been sentenced to the Federal penitentiary to serve 1 1/2 years for violation of the National Prohibition Act in 1932. Senator WILEY. In 1943, Accardos close friend, Paul (the Waiter) Ricca, allegedly assumed control and appointed Accardo underboss. In December 1940, when the attorney general - that is, the attorney general of the State of Illinois secured an injunction against bookmakers in the State of Illinois, it appeared that Joe Epstein was then connected with Edward Stern, Jack Terman, Julius Horwick, and James Mondi. to refuse to appear before the grand jury until the government demonstrates some compelling need for the counsel's testimony. Spilotro knew just the man, and pointed them to John Mendell. John Capone is a friend of Pete Tremont, big-shot policy racketeer on Chicago's South Side, and is also a friend of Joe Fusco of Gold Seal Liquors, Inc. Fusco was very closely affiliated with Al Capone many years ago. Accardo, Anthony Tony Tony died on Wednesday, April 26, 2006, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Gonzales. Mr. PETERSON. 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. It will define the activity of the gangs, so it does not just cover gambling and slot machines? The CHAIRMAN. Who is in charge of the union now? They were released on February 14, 1945, Gincanna gave his age as 36 years and his residence address as 2822 Lexington, Chicago. 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. By the late 1940s the "Capone mob" was called The Outfit, and was run by Antonino "Joe Batters" Accardo (photo right). 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. At the time of Mangano's death he was riding in a car owned by Cavaliera. Senator WILEY. They recently just built a large addition to it. Jack Guzik was then the business manager of the illegal empire controlled by Capone. They began operations in Louisiana in 1934, and it is claimed that the first year of their activities there netted them about $800,000. Though he had vowed not to make the same mistakes as Capone, he was found guilty of tax evasion. That is right. The president of the American Municipal Association, I believe, was Mayor Morrison of New Orleans -- last year? That is spelled U-a-l-e or, commonly, Y-a-l-e. From that time on, Ricca became influential in the inner circles of the Capone organization. I said that Joseph Aiuppa was allegedly one of the owners of the Taylor Manufacturing Co. in Cicero. On April 29, 1926, Ralph Capone and Charles Fischetti were arrested in Cicero, Ill. On May 27, Al Capone, Ralph Capone, Charles Fischetti, and other individuals were charged with conspiracy to violate the National Prohibition Act in Chicago. Murphy was sentenced in April 1933. They changed the ordinance to read differently than it had before, which took his control over the chief of police. It is claimed that he served in the Italian Army during the First World War. He was in partnership in one gambling joint with Tony Accardo. Mr. PETERSON. Until recent years Guzik has been associated with Hymie "Loud Mouth" Levin in gambling enterprises. Tony Capezio's wife is part owner of the Orchid Flower Shop, at 2408 West Chicago Avenue. Mr. PETERSON. He had acquired his nickname during his days as an enforcer for Al Capone. Mr. PETERSON. 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. His company is known as the Universal Automatic Music Corp., 1506 East Sixty-seventh Street, Chicago, Ill. During the prohibition era Peskin operated the J. P. Food Distributors, Inc., 4446 South State Street, which was ostensibly a wholesale grocery but actually was used to buy corn sugar and other products needed in the manufacture of alcohol. I am giving this from memory as far as what they testified to, but that is my recollection. Working from the shadows rather than the limelight, Accardo reigned over the Chicago mob for over 40 years. 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. Months later, Anthony Little Tony Borsellino and Gerald Jerry the Dinger Carusiello were slain with bullets to the back of the head. This burglary was a personal insult to Accardo, no doubt about it. The CHAIRMAN. On August 21, 1941, the State's attorney of Chicago charged that Rocco De Stefano together with Harry V. Russell, prominent handbook operator, Peter Tremont, policy operator, Patrick Manno, policy operator, Max Caldwell, Milton Schwartz, and Maurice Margolis, had helped spend $910,000 looted from the treasury of local 1248, Retail Clerks Protective Association, union funds. It will be noted that Epstein is a big betting commissioner; and, in view of the fact that Virginia Hill has been so closely identified with Benjamin (Bugsey) Siegel of the New York mob and Allen Smiley, Epstein assumes some importance with reference to the Nation-wide gambling set-up. Ralph Buglio, who owns property in Miami Beach, together with Peter G. Tremont and others, is also a well-known syndicate gangster. That is the so-called Bioff-Brown case. Mr. PETERSON. Nobody was ever arrested for any of the murders. In a considerable number of sections, not in every section. Mr. PETERSON. Though he was eventually released, his health had so declined that he was unfit to lead the Chicago Outfit. It was alleged that from June 1, 1928, to the date of indictment, O'Hara had conspired with others to get applications for moving-picture operators through the department of moving picture operators and gas and electricity of the city. I think Campagna indicated that he got around $200,000 as his share. Rocco Fischetti, Sam Hunt, and Murray Humphreys also. Another man in the syndicate, Ralph Cavaliera, alias Armie, 2815 Dickens Avenue, Chicago, was a close associate of Dago Lawrence Mangano at the time of Mangano's death in 1944. In 1946 Hunt had an interest in a tavern at Sixty-third and Cottage Grove Avenue, Chicago. 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. What's the use of risking your life, when you can't enjoy the wealth that comes with it? But even in Mexico, Giancana was unable to keep a low profile. 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. How many years ago was that? As I understand it, today you are testifying on behalf of the American Municipal Association. The representatives of Joe Adonis remained in the Chicago area for about. Along with identifying new sources of income, Accardo also moved the Outfit into new areas of the city and beyond. He has been considered one of the most important syndicate members in Cicero for many years. Louis "Little New York" Campagna, 2927 Maple Avenue, Berwyn, Ill., also has farms in Berrien Springs, Mich., and Fowler, Ind. Accardo had smashed the skulls of two men with a baseball bat, an act that impressed his superiors, Capone allegedly said: "This boy is a real Joe Batters." A call was made to Las Vegas where The Outfit's Anthony Spilotro (photo left) protected the mob's casino skimming operations. Maddox originated from St. Louis, Mo., where he was convicted for burglary on August 5, 1919. The store was owned by a friend of Accardo a Jewish bookie paying the Big Tuna protection money. Senator WILEY. The heat on Accardo intensified after that when the FBI searched his house and found $275,000, with some money bundles wrapped in bank wrappers from the Valley Bank in Las Vegas. That is the King's Ransom Scotch. Levin was an important cog in the Capone organization during the heyday of Al Capone. You need to be a member of Gangsters Inc. - www.gangstersinc.org to add comments! Mr. PETERSON. He did an excellent job for a few months, and then there was so much pressure brought that Stofel was forced to resign. It is a separate municipality? In 1931, shortly after Capone was jailed for income tax evasion, Accardo reputedly was given control of the Capone familys gambling operations in Florida and Chicago. As a result, Accardo and attorney, Eugene Bernstein, were indicted by the Federal grand jury. Mr. Peterson, what was the State-wide association? He has been prominently identified with big-scale gambling by James M. Ragen up until recent years. You can get the information and furnish it to the committee later. In 1947 it was estimated that Joe Peskin of Universal Automatic Music Corp. had about 900 juke boxes placed on location. William Roemer, a retired FBI agent who tracked Accardos career for years, said recently he could never charge Accardo but believed he was one of the triggermen in the St. Valentines Day massacre in Chicago in 1929. Its no wonder why FBI agent William F. Roemer Jr. called Accardo the genuine godfather.. In 1922, O'Hara was business agent for the Chicago Federation of Musicians. (Whereupon, at 12: 25 p. m., the committee recessed until 2 : 30 p. m. the same day. establishment called the Dome at 7466 West Irving Park Road. Regardless of the truth of that allegation, it is definitely known that, upon the death of Colosimo, John Torrio became the lord of Chicago's underworld. Information was also secured to the effect that Humphreys was a partner of Evans in this enterprise. In 1922 indictment No. On May 11, 1920, Big Jim Colosimo was killed in gangland fashion in Chicago. His face had been burned off with an acetylene torch. During World War I Kastel was engaged - as a matter of fact, he has been convicted - was engaged in many illegal operations. After his recovery he served his jail sentence and then he abdicated his underworld throne in Chicago to Al Capone. 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. These men did work for me and did take some spots away from me. I don't think he was ever confronted by anybody with it. That gives a brief background of the beginning of the Capone syndicate. He has a long criminal record. The arrest occurred at Wabash Avenue and Congress Street. Accardo allegedly took over as mob chief when Ricca retired in 1968, although he deferred to Ricca until he died in 1972. The CHAIRMAN. In 1941 the press reported that on the North Side and in the northwest suburbs the juke-box industry was under the control of Eddie Vogel, an important Capone syndicate member. In a criminal career that spanned eight decades, he rose from small-time hoodlum to the position of day-to-day boss of the Outfit in 1947, by moving the organization into new operations and. The CHAIRMAN. Senator WILEY. He is a close friend of Tony Accardo, and was also closely associated with Nick Circella, alias Nick Dean, one of the Capone gang members convicted in the extortion case. (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.). He was found, weeks later, in the trunk of his car, stabbed and strangled to death. Al Capone was suspected of organizing the hit and Tony Accardo was accused of participating. Mr. PETERSON. He has been associated with Capone gangsters for the greater part of three decades. On November 20, 1930, he was found guilty and sentenced to a term of 5 years in the Federal penitentiary and fined $7,500. Dallas authorities never arrested Manno, although others were arrested. It is quite a long statement, and it is understandable that he couldn't do it; but he did try to do it. That information, of course, has been a matter of public record over a long period of time. That is correct. 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. Joey Batters, died in 1992, five years before Nick Bosa, who has helped the 49ers return to football's biggest stage, was even born. While Accardo had advised Giancana to keep your head down, Giancana did not listen. That was their testimony. And if you think Al Capone was a ruthless gangster, take a look at his bloodthirsty brother Frank Capone. He was a ruthless gang leader in New York City. I mean the one before that, the tourists' association. Peskin's principal office for juke-box distribution in southern California is located at 2663-67 West Pike Boulevard, Los Angeles, where he did business under the name of J. Peskin Distributing Co. Another important syndicate man is Rocco De Stefano, alias Rocco Nicholas De Stefano. Later in a hearing before the United States Board of Tax Appeals beginning in January 1939 to determine the amount of income tax and penalties owing by Humphreys, testimony was given that in addition to the income received from various sources Humphreys received $50,000 ransom paid by the milk wagon drivers union for the release of Robert C. Fitchie in 1931. That is right. Another individual is Fred Evans, 5000 Marine Drive, Chicago, who was sometimes regarded as the financial brains of the Capone gang. The activities of the Capone gang consisted principally of illegal liquor racket, gambling, and allied activities such as dog racing. O'Hara was then indicted but won a directed verdict on June 7, 1933. The price for the misdeed would be paid in blood. What did you say about Lester Kruse just a minute ago? But Nitti quickly found himself in a tangle of legal issues, and he died by suicide in 1943. It was just between Lipschultz and the chief of police. 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. In this infamous incident, four unknown men viciously gunned down seven men who worked for George Bugs Moran, Capones most notorious rival. He appointed, as chief of police, Joseph Horejs. Nathan was then slugged in front of his home at 6747 Clyde Avenue, Chicago. In recent years O'Hara and his wife spent some time in some of our big hotels down in Chicago. Some of them may not be, but I don't know. By all accounts he still was the most powerful mobster in Chicago, and thus a good man to have as a friend. Tony (Big Tuna) Accardo, reputedly the longtime head of the Chicago mob and a former associate of gangster Al Capone, died Wednesday night. After John Torrio left Chicago about 1929 is when Al Capone became the ruler of Chicago's underworld. I think the union was thrown into receivership. At the time, he passed his days playing with his grandkids, including his daughter Marie's. An undated mugshot of Tony Accardo. In 1923 he operated a garage at 1214 Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, with Murray Humphreys. During this period the Capone syndicate---. This has to do with allegedly setting up this racing news service to take over the old Annenberg regime. /r/Mafia features stories, interviews, documentary and news articles about organized crime around the world. I know it is very difficult for them to follow this. Naturally, this constitutes an oversimplification of the problem, but it really is surprising when there is a full realization of the tremendous influence these two organized gangs still wield throughout the Nation today. 4 or 5 months in connection with the reorganization.
