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. In 1943 -. 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. 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. What did you say they did to the movie industry? Is that the name of the syndicate? Senator WILEY. Aiuppa and two others were arrested for operating a handbook in the Post Time Tavern, 4824 Cermak Road, Cicero. 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. The second indictment alleged that four men, Frank J. He never did any jail time in connection to these killings. In recent years, Accardo divided his time between Palm Springs and a palatial estate in the Chicago suburb of Barrington. In other words, I am paving the way to show that these men are still prominent - not all of them. I would have to check that, however. You say Ricca was born in Italy. The CHAIRMAN. 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. Accardo was born in Chicago in 1906, the year after his parents emigrated from Sicily. In Louisiana they organized the Pelican Novelty Co. together with a number of subsidiary companies, one of which was the Bayou Novelty Co. The CHAIRMAN. Another member, John Patrick Borcia - that I believe I mentioned briefly before - alias John Borcy, has been very closely associated with many prominent members of the Capone syndicate. While he was slowly becoming an important voice in the Outfit, he wasnt ready to become the boss of the whole operation just yet. Mr. PETERSON. He has been the part owner of the El Patio gambling place at 5914 West Cermak Road, together with Joe Corngold. 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. I give you a clean bill of health on that. On the date of the election April 1, 1924, the Torrio-Capone gang manned the polls with machine guns. Mr. Peterson, we will recess at about 12:25 if you can find some place where you can stop. establishment called the Dome at 7466 West Irving Park Road. 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. Is that true? Anthony "Joe Batters" Accardo, the long time Boss of the Chicago Outfit and protege of Al Capone sought revenge on a crew of thieves who broke into his River Forest mansion. 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. 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. At the time of Mangano's death he was riding in a car owned by Cavaliera. Senator WILEY. He was taken to the Jackson Park Hospital in Chicago, where he recovered. Published: January 18th, 2018 - By Scott Burnstein, Contributing Writer, Breaking Bad still resonates on 10th anniversary of its debut. 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. For the past 20 or 25 years Capezio has been a friend of Claude Maddox, an important syndicate member who has operated primarily in Cicero, Ill. You need to be a member of Gangsters Inc. - www.gangstersinc.org to add comments! It was also alleged at that time that Humphreys and other hoodlums were attempting to muscle in to a milk-drivers union. De Biase alias Johnny Bananas, of the Twenty-eighth Ward in Chicago, who has been very powerful there. 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. At that meeting the American Municipal Association passed by unanimous vote a resolution stating that they felt that this was a matter in which in some instances they needed the cooperation of the Federal Government in helping them in their law-enforcement problems, and they asked for an investigation by some Federal agency or by Congress. On July 30, 1931, O'Hara was indicted by the Cook County grand jury on a charge of conspiracy. And at age 20, Accardo was officially initiated into the Chicago Outfit. Phil was an intelligent and fair gangster. Jack Guzik was then the business manager of the illegal empire controlled by Capone. They settled it for about 20 cents on the dollar. The latest unsavory fellow to poke his head and his many misdeeds into the present was born in 1906 and named Antonio Leonardo Accardo. And so he bought a twenty-two room mansion at 915 Franklin Avenue for $125,000. Now that youve learned about Tony Accardo, read more about Al Capone, his infamous predecessor. 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. I have the one extra copy that I gave to your committee here. The CHAIRMAN. He was picked up, arrested, following that. Taran was finally located in Brainerd, Minn. De Lordo was named by James Egan, the payoff man in the gang killing of Martin (Sonny Boy) Quirk, which killing occurred on September 18, 1943, as having been implicated with John Joseph Williams and others in the killing. Among the various Capone hoodlums with whom Humphreys has been arrested is Ralph Pierce, who was also a defendant in the movie-extortion trial involving Capone syndicate members. 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. The Outfit did not do well under the leadership of Giancana, and he was eventually imprisoned in 1965. On September 25, 1932, a doorman to a road house located on Lake Street west of Mannheim Road was killed. This is from recollection. In 1931 Rocco De Grazio was the leader of the Capone organization in the north and west suburban sections of Chicago. 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. I have the exact name of the association in our files which I will make available to you if you want it. Associations: The Outfit, Hole in the Wall Gang, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, Frank Cullotta, Teamsters Union, Tony Accardo, Frank "Bomp" Bompensiero. No, that was not the name. 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. I mean the one before that, the tourists' association. I see you have about three more pages on Chicago. A few years ago Rocco and Andrew De Grazio were indicted in Federal court in connection with a narcotics charge. Some sources claimed that Torrio, who had already established himself as a tough gangster in New York, was sent to Colosimo by Frank Uale. The CHAIRMAN. Accardo didn't need the money the drugs provided, he had enough. Jack Guzik was very close to Al Capone until the time he died. Humphreys was also one of those against whom an injunction was issued in 1940 that I mentioned a short while ago to the Bartenders and Beverage Dispensers Union, Local 278. Levinson had a successful jewelry store on North Clark Street. Mr. PETERSON. Tony Accardo died on May 22, 1992, from congestive heart failure and acute respiratory failure. The CHAIRMAN. He admitted he operated a pool hall owned by his brother and thathewas a poker dealer. The CHAIRMAN. Tony Accardo has operated gambling places in Chicago in partnership with both Harry Russell and Dave Russell, and he has also been a partner of Lawrence Imburgio. 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. It is quite a long statement, and it is understandable that he couldn't do it; but he did try to do it. Many of the group of course were big-time operators in the field of gambling. After John Torrio left Chicago about 1929 is when Al Capone became the ruler of Chicago's underworld. As early as 1932 Joe Adonis, Frank Erickson, and others were promoting a big sweepstakes operation. 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. The CHAIRMAN. Allegations were made a number of years ago that - these were public allegations, never proven - that Maddox and Capezio were active in attempting to control Local 705 of the Teamsters and Chauffeurs Union. The CHAIRMAN. He was convicted and sentenced to prison. Most of the book is regurgitated from multiple other . This has to do with allegedly setting up this racing news service to take over the old Annenberg regime. Peskin at the hearing denied the assault and stated : This thing is bum publicity for me and no good for the industry. The next to turn up dead were Vincent Moretti and Donald Swanson. He was indicted for kidnaping in Chicago in 1929, and that case was nol-prossed. In addition, Fusco admits ownership of three other wholesale distributing houses for liquor. It was just between Lipschultz and the chief of police. They conspired to extort a million dollars from the movie industry. Mr. PETERSON. Well, there were some problems. Interesting story, Sunshine was investing with some of the Outfit's skimmed money. The testimony you refer to was before the Hoffman committee? Before long, the mob was wealthier than it had been in years. The real beginning, of course, is much earlier, but many of the most important criminal gangs operating throughout the country today stemmed from the major gangs operating in Chicago and New York City, in particular, about 30 years. But Accardo was known by his colleagues as Joe Batters, apparently out of respect for his skills with a baseball bat. All right, Mr. Peterson, if you will carry on. In Prohibition-era Chicago, there was no question that Al Capone ruled the citys underworld. I believe there was testimony introduced in the congressional hearings with reference to the parole a year ago. "Chew Tobacco" Ryan, Hymie "Loud Mouth" Levin - I think that should have been Jack - Harry "Greasy Thumb" Guzik, the owners of the 400 Club at 29 West Randolph, and Maurice L. Goldstein operated an unlicensed radio-broadcasting station in violation of the Federal Communications Act in 1934. During the heyday of the Capone regime James Mondi was one of the big shots in Al Capone's gambling empire in Chicago, although in recent years he has not been very important. 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. He writes daily for The Oakland Press in Metro Detroit and focuses on Mob activity in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and New England. Accardo used his new status to steer the Outfit toward gambling. Nitti, of course, has committed suicide, and John Patton, of course, is an old man, but these other people that I am mentioning - most of them - are active today. 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. 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 . Information was also secured to the effect that Humphreys was a partner of Evans in this enterprise. The other members of this group included Edward Stern and S. J. Horwick. He is supposed to have - I did have the figure on this one company. 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. In 1974, Giancana was arrested by Mexican authorities and returned to America. No arrests were made until April 25, 2005, when 14 members of the Chicago Outfit (including reputed boss James Marcello) were . Pat Manno also has listed as his permanent address 1439 North Franklin Street, River Forest, Ill. Lawrence Imburgio, alias Hindu, is the brother of Joseph Imburgio Bulger, former mayor of Melrose Park, Ill. You will recall that Bulger's name was used by Tony Accardo in gaining entrance to the Federal penitentiary to visit Capone mobsters whose parole created a national sensation. In 1943 the newspapers charged the Nitti-Ricca-Campagna combine had cleaned out the treasury of the Retail Clerks International Protective Association, Local 1248. Wikimedia CommonsIn his later years, Tony Accardo would fiercely deny that he was ever a mob boss. Still, whenever Accardo was called to court to testify on his involvement with the Outfit, he firmly denied any and all allegations. It is stated that John Capone married an ex-dancer from Atlanta. // ]]>, Report an Issue | He is presently suspected of being the respectable front in the liquor industry for the syndicate. Of course this didn't sound reassuring to Levinson. The CHAIRMAN. John Borsellino and Gerry Carusiello had taken care of the burglars and had now themselves been taken care of. Until recent years Guzik has been associated with Hymie "Loud Mouth" Levin in gambling enterprises. That information, of course, has been a matter of public record over a long period of time. In January 1937 DeMere had shot and killed William Stanley, a Negro, after Stanley had slain Frank Buglio, a brother of Ralph. In recent years Humphreys has been associated with Guzik, "Little New York" Campana and many other prominent members of the Capone syndicate. Again that was the movie extortion plot. Campagna originally came from New York City, and at first it is claimed that he hung around Taylor and Halsted Streets in the old "bloody twentieth" ward in Chicago. Many of them remained in the same field following prohibition. The headquarters for the Torrio mob was at the Four Deuces, 2222 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago. The police learned that Ralph Buglio and DeMere had been in the Plantation Cafe just prior to the shooting. A separate municipality. 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. Torrio even actually envisioned a vice monopoly for the entire county. Nitti was attracted to Ricca, so the story goes, because of his intelligence and induced him to work at the Lexington Hotel which was a Capone gang headquarters, as a confidential aid to Nitti. 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. Anthony Spilotro was a soldier and enforcer for the Chicago Outfit who was . On November 20, 1930, he was found guilty and sentenced to a term of 5 years in the Federal penitentiary and fined $7,500. 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. The three named were under investigation following the murder of State Representative John M. Bolton, who was killed on July 4, 1936. Time goes fast. Among the most important syndicate members operating out of Cicero at the present time are Joseph Aiuppa, Claude Maddox, Joseph Corngold, and Willie Heeney. He claims that he is a citizen. I do not seem to have it with me. In 1922 Humphreys was associated with the Meadowmoor Dairy. 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. It is my impression that the man he bought it from is Arnold Kruse, but I wouldn't say for sure. That covers it I think, mostly. CHICAGO Tony (Big Tuna) Accardo, reputedly the longtime head of the Chicago mob and a former associate of gangster Al Capone, died Wednesday night. I know it is very difficult for them to follow this. He was given the nickname Big Tuna by a Chicago newspaper reporter after having his picture taken with a 400-pound tuna he caught off Florida. They settled for around $100,000. It has been stated that the syndicate owns or controls at least 17 percent of the retail liquor stores in Chicago. In 1947 on financial records Peskin listed the name of his company as the Chicago Automatic Music Co. One of his lieutenants was Charles "Lucky" Luciano, who allegedly succeeded him as head in about 1931. Attorney Paul Dillon of St. Louis on behalf of efforts to obtain paroles for Ricca, Campagna, Gioe, and D'Andrea of the Capone gang. Epstein was formerly the head of a group usually referred to as Stern & Horwick, which maintained gambling offices at 10 North Clark Street and 720 North Wabash Avenue. Another Federal indictment was returned on January 31, 1930, growing out of his efforts to swindle, cheat, and defraud the United States Government. Of course, Torrio is no longer active. That is right. The CHAIRMAN. the trunk of his car on April 6. The Capone gang was vitally interested in a track in Chicago known under two names, namely, the Laramie Kennel Club. He is still apparently active. DeMere approached Buglio and asked him to go outside for a conference and a few minutes later the shooting occurred. He is vice president and general manager of the Gold Seal Liquors, Inc. Their sons were called Anthony and Joseph, while their daughters were named Linda and Marie. Months later, Anthony Little Tony Borsellino and Gerald Jerry the Dinger Carusiello were slain with bullets to the back of the head. And what better way to do that than by taking out his rage on traitors? They'd learn the key to longterm health and freedom is to act "normal" and respect everyone. Aiuppa was also arrested in connection with the slaying of James D. Larrisen, on April 7, 1944, in the tavern of Matt Capone. The Italian-American Mafia, known as La Cosa Nostra, was doing great. The CHAIRMAN. But not all families were equal. Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesOnce Al Capones bodyguard, Tony Accardo eventually rose to the top of the Chicago Mafia. Mr. PETERSON. The committee is very much interested in your full statement, Mr. Peterson. He worked for Al Capone, then ran the crime group for many decades before his death in 1992. The CHAIRMAN.
