An expert at deactivating complex alarm systems, known as the most skilled bypass man in the whole Outfit, Mendell was the first to go, disappearing on January 15. But he was released on his own recognizance. Then Michael Volpe, the man responsible for watching the house, was called to testify. He was indicted for kidnaping in Chicago in 1929, and that case was nol-prossed. In a considerable number of sections, not in every section. I am not sure whether that is in Miami or Miami Beach, Fla. Until November 24, 1947, at which time he apparently sold the home and transferred title to Joseph P. Bergl. It was also alleged at that time that Humphreys and other hoodlums were attempting to muscle in to a milk-drivers union. Mr. Peterson, how long have you been operating director of the Chicago Crime Commission? He was a ruthless gang leader in New York City. See Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. at 708, 92 S. Ct . It goes into the major crimes and the effect upon the lives of the citizens in the various communities, and so forth? Among the most important syndicate members operating out of Cicero at the present time are Joseph Aiuppa, Claude Maddox, Joseph Corngold, and Willie Heeney. It was further charged that the operation of the United Liquor Stores, Inc., the company lead failed to pay the State sales tax since 1934 and owed a delinquency of $50,000. He was taken to the Jackson Park Hospital in Chicago, where he recovered. Jack Guzik's father was naturalized on November 5, 1898, at which time he was apparently 10 or 11 years of age and received his naturalization when his father became a citizen. Nathan blamed Peskin for the slugging but later repudiated same, and the case was dismissed. In 1931, Capone was found guilty of tax evasion and sent to prison. Phil was an intelligent and fair gangster. In recent years O'Hara and his wife spent some time in some of our big hotels down in Chicago. 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. Capezio has also been closely associated with John I. Many of the group of course were big-time operators in the field of gambling. This doesn't have to do with income tax, however. The five New York families and the Chicago family, known as The Outfit, held the most power. Jack Guzik was very close to Al Capone until the time he died. I might say that that resolution was one of the reasons that I happened to file the resolution in the early part of this Congress. The defense attorney represented Ralph Capone as a race-horse man and bookmaker. He had risen to power and influence through the operation of a string of brothels to become the vice lord of the first ward and had married one of the most prosperous madams of the district. They were released on February 14, 1945, Gincanna gave his age as 36 years and his residence address as 2822 Lexington, Chicago. About 1948 Louis Lipschultz, according to the chief of police of Cicero, Ill., contacted him and offered him $100,000 to permit gambling to operate in Cicero. 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. He writes daily for The Oakland Press in Metro Detroit and focuses on Mob activity in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and New England. "Little New York" Campagna admitted having an interest in and receiving huge sums of money as his share from the proceeds of this establishment. One reporter wrote: "Accardo has more brains for breakfast than Al Capone ever had all day." Then Michael Volpe, the man responsible for watching the house, was called to testify. Mr. PETERSON. Accardo didn't need the money the drugs provided, he had enough. 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. 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. On the income-tax evasion I am inclined to think they were on that. (Whereupon, at 12: 25 p. m., the committee recessed until 2 : 30 p. m. the same day. Then that is the same Mr. Annenberg that gave Mr. Molasky 22 1/2 shares of Pioneer News Service for $1, I believe. Mr. PETERSON. He also wasnt immune to time in court. The New York group was also interested in this racket, and at a single session of one legislature they claimed they spent the sum of $100,000 in an effort to secure favorable legislation. Murphy was sentenced in April 1933. And eventually, he would take over the entire Outfit. Mr. Peterson, what are the Whitely brands? Cicero has long been the headquarters for the Capone gang. Rocco DeStefano has had his name linked with that of Guzik, Charles and Rocco Fischetti, and other hoodlums as being friends of these persons. It is understood that. In 1944 it was alleged that Gus Alex, Hymie Levin, Gus Liebe, and others were connected with the notorious gambling. During the Dillinger investigation, incidentally, he was one of the principal contacts with "Baby Face" Nelson, the most notorious killer of that gang. On October 27, 1934, Humphreys pleaded guilty to income-tax evasions and was sentenced to serve 18 months in the Federal penitentiary and was fined $5,000. That is right. 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. The stock is in his son's name at the present time, James Patton; and Robert Larry McCullough, for example, whom I mentioned here, has been the chief of police of the Miami Beach Kennel Club down there to help them maintain law and order, I guess. 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. Prior to the time they were released I think there were back taxes on the part of Campagna and Ricca to the extent of about $500,000, as I recall. and Louis Pokrass, and a number of others. After leaving school as a young teenager, Accardo joined a group of local hoodlums. 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. In recent months he has been living in California, I believe it is Tarzana, Calif. I would have to check on that. Are the rest of them American citizens?

On September 18, 1925, Pat Manno was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct and placed on probation for 1 year. He has been arrested with Claude Maddox as well as with Rocco De Grazio, Fred Rossi, and others. And for a while, it was unclear who the best man for the job would be. Then it is further south.

Released on parole in 1947. 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. In addition, Fusco admits ownership of three other wholesale distributing houses for liquor. 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. McDonald was shot in the back of the head, his body dumped in an alley on April 14. Charles Gioe, a well-known member of the Capone syndicate, who was also indicted in the movie extortion trial and convicted, lived at the Seneca Hotel, Chicago, and had an office in a building at 145 North Clark Street before he went to the penitentiary. He has been arrested in Chicago on numerous occasions. 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. DeMere approached Buglio and asked him to go outside for a conference and a few minutes later the shooting occurred.

As of 1941 he was vice president of the Cook Oil Co. As of 1944 he had addresses at 2233 East Sixty-eighth and 1722 East Seventieth Street, Chicago. While it remains unknown if Accardo was one of the gunmen, theres no question that he wouldve done just about anything for Capone.

Stofel became the village president out in Cicero and was doing a very excellent job. // ]]>, Report an Issue | As I said before, until the repeal of prohibition the principal activities of this group were related to the illegal liquor traffic.
