I believe it goes farther north than Roosevelt Road. The police learned that Ralph Buglio and DeMere had been in the Plantation Cafe just prior to the shooting. Among the secret names and addresses of underworld characters found in that address book was that of Humphreys, who was listed as J. Harris, 7701 Bennett Avenue, Chicago. 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. Mendell decided to show his extreme displeasure by brazenly robbing the ritzy, well-manicured estate built by the legendary Outfit kingpin more than a decade earlier. The Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth District, New Orleans, has ordered that, Campagna and Gioe be returned to the penitentiary, but there is still further legal action pending. That is correct. There was a considerable amount of violence, and Frank Capone, a brother of Al, was killed during a gun battle between the hoodlums and the police. He was closely associated with "Big Tim" Murphy, a notorious gang leader. He has also resided at 9199 Collins Avenue, Surfside, Fla., just north of Miami. On February 4, Vince Moretti, the marked burglary crews fence for all of its stolen property, along with a small-time crook friend of his named Don Renno, were lured to a Cicero, Illinois, bar and beaten and stomped to death. As an interesting sidelight as to how he got the name, in May 1930 Sam Hunt was arrested in the State's attorney's office as a member of a shotgun squad that kidnaped and wounded a man at Berwyn and Ashland. In 1940 a temporary injunction was granted to George McLane on the petition that hoodlums were attempting to take over the financial affairs of the Bartenders and Beverage Dispensers Union, Local 278, in Chicago. But he never went on because he was murdered in 1975. At the time of the accident Ricca was in the company of Charles Fischetti and Joseph Fischetti. The activities of the Capone gang consisted principally of illegal liquor racket, gambling, and allied activities such as dog racing. 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. In 1944 information was received that Leslie Kruse lived at 4300 Marine Drive. He is still on the outside, but the litigation is still pending as to whether or not he will have to return in accordance with the decision of the court in New Orleans. Since that time Humphreys has been arrested on numerous occasions in connection with labor racketeering, gambling, and vice activities. There were four Counts in the indictment. He had been badly beaten and had his throat slit. Accardo, Anthony Tony Tony died on Wednesday, April 26, 2006, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Gonzales. The offer was turned down. Senator WILEY. Then Michael Volpe, the man responsible for watching the house, was called to testify. The CHAIRMAN. Capezio's wife Marie is the sister of Frank Nitti, former head of the Capone mob. Ive never been a boss. While authorities clearly knew he was up to no good and continued to investigate him in his later years they never pinned anything on him. And of course, the mob also had to find a new leader. But he was adept at avoiding criminal prosecution and boasted that he never spent a night in jail. They began operations in Louisiana in 1934, and it is claimed that the first year of their activities there netted them about $800,000. 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. He dropped out of school in the sixth grade and was arrested for the first time at age 15. On September 18, 1925, Pat Manno was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct and placed on probation for 1 year. This doesn't have to do with income tax, however. I know it is very difficult for them to follow this. Charles Fischetti is one of the most important members of the syndicate at the present time. I believe Mr. Newton from Denver. 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. In New York the company was known as the True-Mint Co. Sometime after 1933 Peskin entered the juke-box business. There was a two-month reprieve from the bloodshed before the final two members of Mendells crew, Bobby Hertogs and Johnny McDonald, met their own gruesome fate. And by the 1940s, the "Capone mob" controlled Chicago. About 70,000 people. Even as he got older, he continued to insist that he was a beer salesman and nothing more. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Ruth Louque. 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. Bodies began dropping within days. They were later returned to the penitentiary. Mr. Peterson, you may proceed for about 15 minutes and then we will recess until 2:30. In recent years, Accardo divided his time between Palm Springs and a palatial estate in the Chicago suburb of Barrington. On February 20 police discovered the body of John Mendell, the man who could defeat most burglar alarms and who was believed to be the mastermind behind the burglary had also been tortured before his throat had been slashed. It is claimed that he served in the Italian Army during the First World War. Mr. PETERSON. Another individual who should receive the attention of the committee is Joseph Epstein, a big betting commissioner in Chicago who has been very close to Virginia Hill, the girl friend of Benjamin (Bugsey) Siegel of the New York mob for many years. Tony Capezio's wife is part owner of the Orchid Flower Shop, at 2408 West Chicago Avenue. See Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. at 708, 92 S. Ct . The latest unsavory fellow to poke his head and his many misdeeds into the present was born in 1906 and named Antonio Leonardo Accardo. Europe and others push for a standard lunar time zone. The hit parade continued and got more brutal. Humphreys has also been involved in kidnaping. In September 1941 Peskin was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct growing out of a slugging of Lionel M. Nathan, who had been employed by Peskin. He returned to Chicago after having served his Federal sentence on February 27, 1934. FURTHER TESTIMONY OF VIRGIL W. PETERSON, OPERATING DIRECTOR, CHICAGO CRIME COMMISSION, REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION. Another individual is Fred Evans, 5000 Marine Drive, Chicago, who was sometimes regarded as the financial brains of the Capone gang. Mr. PETERSON. He allegedly owned a home at 5352 LaGorce Drive. The chief of police made the statement that he made that offer to him. establishment called the Dome at 7466 West Irving Park Road. He also maintains a residence address at, 3100 North Sheridan Road in Chicago, where his brothers, Rocco and Joe, live. Mr. PETERSON. On July 10, 1936, the Chicago press carried an article to the effect that Frank Nitti, State Representative James J. Adduci, and Louis "Little New York" Campagna had been placed under police surveillance as leaders of the revived Cammora to control gambling, bootlegging, and all other rackets in. (Whereupon, at 6 :05 p. m., the committee recessed until 10 a. m. Friday, July 7, 1950. He was implicated in the million-dollar movie-extortion case along with the other Capone gangsters. As of 1944, Sam Hunt was allegedly an official of the Drexel Wine & Liquor Co., Thirty-ninth and Cottage Grove Avenue. 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. Ricca apparently was born in Naples, Italy, about 1899. What sections have you been stationed in? ), (The committee reconvened at 2: 30 p. m. pursuant to the taking of the noon recess.). After his recovery he served his jail sentence and then he abdicated his underworld throne in Chicago to Al Capone. He lost an arm in an automobile accident several years ago, which gives rise to his nickname "Armie.". 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 he has a filling station out there. Mr. HALLEY. No witnesses could be produced and the case was then dismissed. He was 86. As I said before he has been associated in business activities with Tony Accardo. Among the numerous individuals sought by police as suspects - and they were just suspects - were Tony Accardo, Claude Maddox, and Tony Capezio. After John Torrio left Chicago about 1929 is when Al Capone became the ruler of Chicago's underworld. As a sidelight, from about 1922 to 1931 Joe Masseri was the head of the underworld activities of what is frequently called the Mafia. Though he was eventually released, his health had so declined that he was unfit to lead the Chicago Outfit. In addition to maintaining close contact with various prominent members of the syndicate in Chicago, he has associated with John and Fred Angersola, usually referred to as John and Fred King, from Cleveland. For a while, Frank Nitti stepped up to take Capones place as boss. Accardo must've been worried. 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. Jack Guzik's son-in-law, Frank Garnet, has been very prominently identified with the distribution of juke boxes in Illinois and recently in California. So by the mid-1940s, Accardo was the day-to-day boss of the Chicago Outfit. The family lived together in a lavish house in River Forest, Illinois. Tony Big Tuna Accardo is now the head of the Outfit since the remaining top leaders were sitting in jail because of the Hollywood Extortion Scandal.In my last article I went to Accardos other nickname of Joe Batters. The article was Tony Joe Batters Accardo the Outfits Ultimate Boss Part I He received his second nickname of Big Tuna, . Murphy was sentenced in April 1933. He was also alleged to be the owner of the Turf Club, Touhy and Western Avenues, a gasoline station across the street from the Turf Club, and a two-flat building in Skokie, Ill. Ralph Buglio's name was also mentioned in connection with the gang killing of Maurice Enright. Pierce, incidentally, was one of those acquitted. Despite receiving multiple convictions, he never spent any serious time in jail. He was 85 and a lifelong resident of Hester. Tony Accardo was on a par with Don Carlo Gambino.Low key,gentlemanly and wise.Yet if you messed with him then there was only one outcome.Your life expectancy would not be very long. In other words, as the distinguished Governor just mentioned a few moments ago, there is very seldom any political campaign in his area in which the racketeering elements - and, of course, gambling is very lucrative - do not attempt to make political contributions and that sort of thing. His draft card in 1944 which was found on him when he was arrested carried the address of 5123 University Avenue. Before that, St. Louis 1 year, before that Milwaukee 2 years, and then I worked in Chicago for 2 years, in New York City, Florida, Philadelphia. Are the rest of them American citizens? Ragen was then ambushed and shot on June 24, 1946, and later died. Jack Guzik was then the business manager of the illegal empire controlled by Capone. Most of the book is regurgitated from multiple other . The CHAIRMAN. 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. 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. Phil D'Andrea, as you know, was recently - in 1943 - convicted with other Capone gangsters in the movie extortion case. The following year he was convicted for robbery in St. Louis, Mo. Louis "Little New York" Campagna, 2927 Maple Avenue, Berwyn, Ill., also has farms in Berrien Springs, Mich., and Fowler, Ind. I believe Willie Heeney admitted that "Little New York" Campagna got 60 percent and Corngold got 15 percent from the Cicero "joints." Sometime prior to September 21, 1941, Lionel Nathan and Albert Chapman, also an employee of Peskin, had left Peskin's employ and formed a partnership. Lester A. Kruse, alias Leslie Kruse, alias "Killer" Kane, has been actively associated with members of the Capone syndicate and has also been prominently identified with racing news service activities. 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. On December 22, 1943, Nick De Grazio appeared as a witness for a defendant in a rape case. The Chicago Crime Commission, as I understand it, is a voluntary association supported by contributions of the interested citizens; is that correct? He founded and runs The Gangster Report (www.gangsterreport.com) newsmagazine website. Mr. PETERSON. That was in testimony before the Hoffman committee. In recent years August Circella owned and operated the Gold Coast Lounge, on North Rush Street. Hunt has been prominently identified with the underworld as a gunman for many years. Tony Capezio, "Tough Tony," resides also in River Forest, Ill., 1048 Ashland Avenue, and has been considered a member of the Capone mob since about 1929. Mr. PETERSON. In 1924 he began operating the Evans Co., at 311 Curtiss Street. Released on parole in 1947. 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. As a result of that, I was requested to appear before the American Municipal Association at its annual meeting in Cleveland. Mr. PETERSON. Joseph Aiuppa, alias Joe O'Brien, is allegedly one of the owners of the Taylor Manufacturing Co. in Cicero, Ill. This burglary was a personal insult to Accardo, no doubt about it. The house did not attract any attention, which was a good thing, but at some point Accardo must've asked himself why he didn't enjoy his hard earned millions. He is vice president and general manager of the Gold Seal Liquors, Inc. But he was released on his own recognizance. Charles Fischetti, a cousin of Al Capone, continued to grow in stature in the syndicate until the present time, when he is unquestionably one of the most important underworld characters in the Nation. Mr. PETERSON. At his last appearance before the committee in 1984, he denied any role in the Chicago mob. Charlie Fischetti, one of the leading gangsters in America today, was present with Frank Capone and other hoodlums during the time the election violence was in progress. Accardo didn't need the money the drugs provided, he had enough. John Borsellino and Gerry Carusiello had taken care of the burglars and had now themselves been taken care of. Getting back to the Capone syndicate, I think it might be important briefly to give you a brief background of some of these individuals who are now the leaders of the Capone syndicate. Accardo, the son of a shoemaker, was born Antonio Leonardo Accardo in 1906 in Chicagos Little Italy. Conditions haven't changed too much in the last 30 years insofar as that situation is concerned. By the mid-1920s, Accardo had already met Al Capone. Pierce has been known as a bodyguard for Murray "The Camel" Humphreys and is an associate of Sam "Golf Bag" Hunt, both of whom are stalwarts in the Capone organization. In fact, it was brought out that Heeney was one of the men who handled the contact with State Senator Brady and. It was said that the syndicate maintained an iron-hand control over the Chicago union and that the president of the union had been handing envelopes containing money for a long period of time to Nick Circella alias Nick Dean, and later to Ralph Capone. Senator WILEY. Specifically this broadcasting station was said to be a highly technical wire-tapping service, sending out radio signals. I am not sure. I would hate to say that definitely, but it could very well be. Mr. Peterson, some of the names that you have just mentioned are still operating; are they not? Information has been received to the effect that Cavaliera has operated as a front man for the Capone syndicate and operated Barbout games in the Halsted-Blue Island area. Rocco DeStefano has had his name linked with that of Guzik, Charles and Rocco Fischetti, and other hoodlums as being friends of these persons. At the time Capone went to prison the following individuals had grown in stature within the Capone organization and were powerful members of the Capone syndicate: Frank Nitti, Louis (Little New York) Campagna, Paul Ricca, Phil D'Andrea, Jack Guzik, Tony Accardo, Charles Fischetti, Edward Vogel, Hymie (Loud Mouth) Levin, Ralph Capone, Tony Capezio, Ralph Pierce, Murray Humphreys, Frank Maritote, alias Frank Diamond, Nick Circella, alias Nick Dean, Lawrence Imburgio, Charles Gioe, Anthony (Mops) Volpe, William Niemoth, and Sam (Golf Bag) Hunt. Mr. Peterson, you have notes that you are following. Mr. Peterson, I think we will interrupt your statement at this point. The CHAIRMAN. Our files would probably show whether they are or not. Most of those activities of course were in the bootlegging field. Federal judge to 8 months in jail for contempt of court. Volpes eyeglasses were recovered from a safe inside the residence during a raid years later, but his body has never been unearthed. It begins at Cicero Boulevard or Avenue, which is about 48 blocks west. 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. Recently Aiuppa has been allegedly operating the Turf Club and Paddock Lounge, Cicero, gambling joint. Nothing had been stolen but the house had been ransacked. That is spelled U-a-l-e or, commonly, Y-a-l-e. They forced the chief of police out, as a matter of fact. On July 28, 1933, Humphreys, Al Capone, and 22 others were indicted by the Cook County Grand Jury on charges of conspiracy to control the cleaning and dyeing industry and the carbonated beverages and linen supply industries, through kidnapings, strikes, bombings, and acids. Associations: The Outfit, Hole in the Wall Gang, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, Frank Cullotta, Teamsters Union, Tony Accardo, Frank "Bomp" Bompensiero. That way your "employees" protect you and enimies are to afraid to attack you.Basically,"act a fool" get arrested/killed. Still, whenever Accardo was called to court to testify on his involvement with the Outfit, he firmly denied any and all allegations. Among the most important syndicate members operating out of Cicero at the present time are Joseph Aiuppa, Claude Maddox, Joseph Corngold, and Willie Heeney. When he registered for the draft in World War II Gincanna gave his occupation as that of a salesman for the Central Envelope & Lithographing Co., 426 South Clinton Street, Chicago. He repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment guarantee against self-incrimination. In February 1945 he was arrested with Tony Accardo, top-ranking man of the syndicate, and one Daniel Beneduce, of 4259 Gladys Avenue, Chicago, as suspects in a kidnaping. 1. Lester A. Kruse, alias Leslie Kruse, alias "Killer" Kane, has been actively associated with members of the Capone syndicate and has also been prominently identified with the racing news service activities. Before long, the mob was wealthier than it had been in years. Mr. PETERSON. Until recent years Guzik has been associated with Hymie "Loud Mouth" Levin in gambling enterprises. Both a violent and obedient man, Accardo was eager to prove his loyalty to the mob. Levin was an important cog in the Capone organization during the heyday of Al Capone. Of course this didn't sound reassuring to Levinson. With reference to juke boxes generally in Chicago, the Loop area has been controlled by the Century Music Co., which was originally under the domination of Denis Cooney; Capone's syndicate vice manager of the first ward. No more ties to Accardo. He was released on parole in 1947 and it is still pending. Show more Show more. His father was a humble shoemaker and his mother was a homemaker. Tony (Big Tuna) Accardo, reputedly the longtime head of the Chicago mob and a former associate of gangster Al Capone, died Wednesday night. He was a brothel house owner, and I think he was killed around 1930. Mr. PETERSON. The CHAIRMAN. You say that happened in Wisconsin? 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. The CHAIRMAN. That is right. He is the son of a restaurant owner. In recent years Humphreys has been associated with Guzik, "Little New York" Campana and many other prominent members of the Capone syndicate. He has exerted a considerable amount of political influence there. Senator WILEY. But judging by Accardos relatively modest lifestyle, you might not guess that he was a wealthy man. The CHAIRMAN. The CHAIRMAN. While he was slowly becoming an important voice in the Outfit, he wasnt ready to become the boss of the whole operation just yet. Information was received some years ago that Evans was one of several hoodlums who were attempting to gain control of the dry-cleaning industry. Meet Tony Accardo, The Elusive Chicago Mobster Who Succeeded Al Capone. But not all families were equal. They changed the ordinance to read differently than it had before, which took his control over the chief of police. He was indicted by the Cook County Grand Jury on January 30, 1942, as I mentioned a few moments ago, with others for conspiracy to operate policy rackets. In a considerable number of sections, not in every section. Mr. PETERSON. In other words, they get you coming and going. And as he distanced himself from the Outfit, Accardo began to enjoy the spoils of his job. Torrio even actually envisioned a vice monopoly for the entire county. In 1947 it was estimated that Joe Peskin of Universal Automatic Music Corp. had about 900 juke boxes placed on location. I haven't gone too much into the government angle, although I may cover that somewhat in the testimony. Several drug dealers turned up dead, sending a clear message to others looking to make a quick buck. As I understand it, its membership represents about eleven or twelve thousand communities - cities or local communities. Interesting story, Sunshine was investing with some of the Outfit's skimmed money. How many years ago was that? He had recently instructed a burglary crew led by associate John Mendell to return a bundle of cash, gold and diamonds acquired in a jewelry store heist pulled off in the days before Christmas 1977. He was a ruthless gang leader in New York City. Accardo gained a reputation as a brutish hit man for his work. Mr. PETERSON. Mr. PETERSON. Many of the group of course were big-time operators in the field of gambling. 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. For convenience, we might refer to the New York mob as the Frank Costello gang and the Chicago gang as the Capone syndicate. But they would do their best in finding them. O'Hara was then indicted but won a directed verdict on June 7, 1933. The CHAIRMAN. Accardo moved the Outfit into new operations and territories, greatly increasing its power and wealth during his tenure as boss. Wikimedia CommonsIn his later years, Tony Accardo would fiercely deny that he was ever a mob boss. That was a liquor association. During the past three decades, until the present time, Edward Vogel is known as the slot-machine king of Cook County, and throughout that period has been an important member of the so-called Capone syndicate. Oh, yes. They made an offer that couldn't be refused. Apparently pleased with his work, Capone gave him the nickname Joe Batters.. Al Capone was suspected of organizing the hit and Tony Accardo was accused of participating. Also known as Joe Batters and Big Tuna, Tony Accardo. In the prosecution of this case the Federal Government produced evidence showing that Guzik then had an interest in numerous gambling houses in Cicero and Chicago, that he owned stock in the Hawthorne Kennel Club which operated as a dog-racing track. On October 5 his family reported him missing, and he hasn't been seen since. 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. Mr. PETERSON. Mr. Peterson, I take it we can get started with your testimony and then we will have to recess for lunch and answer the call of the Senate fairly shortly. Mr. PETERSON.
