Ralph Capone's conviction was upheld when the case was appealed. He has a brother, August Circella, who has been proprietor of gambling establishments in Chicago. What sections have you been stationed in? 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. As an interesting sidelight, at the time Colosimo was killed in Chicago, a United States Senate Judiciary hearing was in progress relating to the Sterling-Sims bill which was designed to prohibit the interstate transportation of racing information. In 1942 Hunt was involved in an automobile accident. Mr. Peterson, you are the operating director of the Chicago Crime Commission? I do not think you have been sworn. They were convicted in Federal court in New York City in 1943. Of course this didn't sound reassuring to Levinson. No, it was a State-wide trade liquor association. During the days of Al Capone there was some competition, but they were dealt with in violent fashion. I think you either told me or you stated somewhere that Mr. Annenberg and Molasky were indicted for income-tax evasion. I am giving this from memory as far as what they testified to, but that is my recollection. Estelle Carey was once the dice girl employed by Nick Circella, alias Nick Dean. Kastel, incidentally, was also a friend of Nickie Arnstein. He founded and runs The Gangster Report (www.gangsterreport.com) newsmagazine website. On February 14, 1929 - I am sure you are all familiar with the St. Valentine's Day massacre in Chicago. Paul Ricca, together with several other members of the Capone syndicate, including John Roselli of the west coast, and Louis Kaufman on the east coast, conspired to extort a million dollars from the movie industry. In 1930 Costello and his lieutenant, Dandy Phil Kastel, were associated with Irving Hain. Two persons familiar with crime. Possessing a nimble mind and a canny instinct for survival, Accardo boasted of having never spent a night in jail. While Accardo had advised Giancana to keep your head down, Giancana did not listen. Accardo must've been worried. During the Dillinger investigation, incidentally, he was one of the principal contacts with "Baby Face" Nelson, the most notorious killer of that gang. Some time ago it was claimed that John Capone was a salesman for the Citizens Beer, Joliet, Ill., a brewery which makes beer that is sold by the Canadian Ace Brewing Co., formerly the Manhattan Brewing Co. They made an offer that couldn't be refused. At one time Tony Accardo, the top-ranking member of the syndicate, was in partnership with him. Accardo started out as a bodyguard for Al Capone during Prohibition and later had his own 40-year reign as a Windy City mob boss. McDonald was shot in the back of the head, his body dumped in an alley on April 14. 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. The CHAIRMAN. In 1931, Capone was found guilty of tax evasion and sent to prison. Of course, the significance of the organized-crime problem is its effect on government. This company incidentally is owned by his brother-in-law, M. R. DeTolve, president of the company. This has to do with allegedly setting up this racing news service to take over the old Annenberg regime. 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. . In October, Accardos houseboy, native Sicilian Mike Volpe, vanished weeks after testifying in front of a grand jury investigating the slayings linked to the January break-in. As previously indicated, Frank Costello, Joe Adonis, John Torrio, and other members of the gang gained control of legitimate liquor business. The CHAIRMAN. 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. S. Res. In fact, Capone trusted Accardo so much that he may have even asked him to participate in the 1929 St. Valentines Day Massacre. Feedback or questions? On May 11, 1920, Big Jim Colosimo was killed in gangland fashion in Chicago. 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. I am not positive about that. These boxes were in Chicago - except in the first ward, where the Century has the monopoly - Cicero, Argo, Calumet City, in Illinois, Hammond, Indiana Harbor, and Whiting. After moving in, Accardo added a $10,000 black onyx bathtub and an indoor, two-lane bowling alley. That is correct. His death marks the end of the Capone era, the Chicago Crime Commission added. He became the operator of a restaurant known as Colosimo's, which was located at 2136 South Wabash Avenue. Accardo said he first met Capone at a racetrack, but denied longstanding stories that he was once Capones chauffeur-bodyguard and that he had inherited Capones criminal empire. He owns a home, in addition to his address in Chicago at 6471 Allison Road, Miami, Fla., Allison Island. Who is in charge of the union now? However, this conviction was later appealed, and Accardo was ultimately acquitted after a retrial. You say that happened in Wisconsin? I don't know. Levin was an important cog in the Capone organization during the heyday of Al Capone. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, Long-lost ship found at the bottom of Lake Huron, confirming story of tragic collision, TikTok to set default daily time limit of up to 60 minutes for minors, Jaguars, narcos, illegal loggers: One mans battle to save a Guatemalan jungle and Maya ruins, TikTok faces bans in a number of countries over security fears. to refuse to appear before the grand jury until the government demonstrates some compelling need for the counsel's testimony. On May 12, 1920, the press reported that the Chicago headquarters for race information for the entire United States was located in the office of the General News Bureau operated by Mont Tennes at 431 South Dearborn Street, Chicago. 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. 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. Another important member is Murray Llewellyn Humphreys, alias J. Harris, known as "The Camel," 7710 Bennett Avenue. 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. I think the union was thrown into receivership. Mr. PETERSON. Mr. Peterson, before you start your formal statement I thought we should have a further word about the American Municipal Association. Information was also secured to the effect that Humphreys was a partner of Evans in this enterprise. The Outfit did not do well under the leadership of Giancana, and he was eventually imprisoned in 1965. Published: January 18th, 2018 - By Scott Burnstein, Contributing Writer, Breaking Bad still resonates on 10th anniversary of its debut. Phil D'Andrea, who supposedly is in bad health now, formerly the bodyguard for Al Capone, was convicted along with the other Capone gangsters. Mr. KLEIN. He is a. big automobile dealer on Chicago's East, Side, too. HEARINGS BEFORE THE The CHAIRMAN. He was closely associated with "Big Tim" Murphy, a notorious gang leader. As I understand it, today you are testifying on behalf of the American Municipal Association. Then, in 1933, Prohibition ended. Specifically this broadcasting station was said to be a highly technical wire-tapping service, sending out radio signals. 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. In his later years, Tony Accardo would fiercely deny that he was ever a mob boss. I wonder if during the lunch hour, from the point where Mr. Peterson leaves off, copies could be made. Mr. Peterson, will you come around, please? (Whereupon, at 6 :05 p. m., the committee recessed until 10 a. m. Friday, July 7, 1950. 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. The CHAIRMAN. He was found not guilty on June 17, 1942. Did he admit making the offer? The CHAIRMAN. Borselino was a member of the notorious westside Wild Bunch, a group of grizzled Cicero enforcers tasked with the Outfits most difficult jobs. That is the so-called Bioff-Brown case. The house included high vaulted rooms, an indoor pool, a gun and trophy room, a pipe organ, a walk in safe, wood spiral staircases, carriage and guest houses on the backyard half acre. But the bodies kept dropping. I have no control over anybody, he said. 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. Mr. Brown has been here since yesterday and wants to go back home tonight. That was in testimony before the Hoffman committee. He was taken to the Jackson Park Hospital in Chicago, where he recovered. It is a pretty good, substantial city. 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. At their meeting last year where you made a report, I believe it was, in Cleveland, Ohio. By the late 1940s the "Capone mob" was called The Outfit, and was run by Antonino "Joe Batters" Accardo (photo right). He was 85 and a lifelong resident of Hester. The Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to advance the public understanding of organized crime's history and impact on American society. This indictment charged conspiracy to operate a policy game. Should rap lyrics be used as evidence in court? That was the Retail Clerks International Protective Association, Local 1248. In recent months he has been living in California, I believe it is Tarzana, Calif. He was released on parole in 1947 and it is still pending. I mean the one before that, the tourists' association. This company was chartered in Illinois in December 1937. It proved an ill-conceived endeavor, and it didnt take long for Accardo to seek his proverbial pound of flesh. 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. The other members of this group included Edward Stern and S. J. Horwick. His brother, Rocco Fischetti, sometimes known as Ralph Fisher, has also been a member of the Capone syndicate since the late 1920's. How long before you will come to another chapter? The family lived together in a lavish house in River Forest, Illinois. From 1928 to the early 1930's one of the most powerful gangs operating New York City and on the East coast was composed of the following individuals: Frank Costello, Joe Adonis, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, John Torrio, the abdicated king of the Capone syndicate, Dutch Goldberg, Abner "Longie" Zwillman, Meyer Lansky, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Moe Sedgwick, alias Little Moe, Jack Levenson, Charles Haim. On April 26 Bobby Hertogs was found with his throat cut and his body riddled with bullet holes. Once in 1933 he received a sentence of 1 year in the House of Correction on a concealed weapons charge. Tony Capezio was one of the suspects in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago in 1929 and was also a suspect of the murder of Mike DePike Heitler. Of course, Torrio is no longer active. I think he was shot in connection with a union election out there. In 1931 Rocco De Grazio was the leader of the Capone organization in the north and west suburban sections of Chicago. At that time they were charged with violation of the National Prohibition Act. Chicago History Museum/Getty ImagesThe St. Valentines Day Massacre saw seven associates of Chicagos North Side Gang gunned down. Mr. PETERSON. At his last appearance before the committee in 1984, he denied any role in the Chicago mob. The testimony you refer to was before the Hoffman committee? Named in the first indictment were Arthur V. McBride, of Cleveland, head of Yellow and Zone Taxi Cab Co.'s of that city; James M. Ragen, Sr., Lionel C. Lance, formerly of Chicago and now operating in Cleveland, a nephew of Mont Tennes; Thomas F. Kelley, Cleveland, a brother-in-law of McBride and former Baltimore manager of Nationwide; Thomas J. Ryan; alias Frank Walsh, New York City, formerly in charge of Consolidated News Service, then operating in Hoboken and New York; Morris Wexler, alias "Mushy" Wexler, of Cleveland, associate of McBride; Russell Brophy, Los Angeles, son-in-law of Ragen; Alfred Goodman, Chicago, former Nation-wide representative in Houston, Tex. He has been considered one of the most important syndicate members in Cicero for many years. That is right, special agent in charge of the Boston office of the FBI. No. Recently Aiuppa has been allegedly operating the Turf Club and Paddock Lounge, Cicero, gambling joint. This company---. 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. 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. The CHAIRMAN. Max Caldwell incidentally is presently located in Miami. Ralph Capone spends a large amount of time in Mercer, Wis., where he is said to own a tavern and summer resort. (Mr. Peterson's testimony was interrupted while the committee took testimony from William P. Brown, Clayton, Mo. 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 is presently suspected of being the respectable front in the liquor industry for the syndicate. 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. I said that Joseph Aiuppa was allegedly one of the owners of the Taylor Manufacturing Co. in Cicero. Mr. PETERSON. This was a night club which featured big-time gambling. That case went to trial and all they had was Egan's confession, and there was an acquittal in the case. It is my impression that the man he bought it from is Arnold Kruse, but I wouldn't say for sure. They were convicted in Federal court in New York City in 1943. During the 1920's and the early 1930's Frank Costello numbered among his associates such individuals as Louis Lepke Buchalter, Dutch Schultz, Arnold Rothstein, Joe Adonis, Owney Madden, and Willie Bioff, who incidentally testified at the moving-picture extortion trial that Costello was a member of the conspiracy through which he and George Brown had obtained control of the stage-hands' union. 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. Mr. PETERSON. 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. Among the earlier subordinates of Torrio was Jack Guzik, who was later to become the business manager of the gang during the heyday of its operations, and he has asserted a considerable amount of influence in Chicago up until the present time. Shortly after the shooting, Accardo was seen in the lobby of Capones headquarters, the Lexington Hotel on Michigan Avenue, with a machine gun. Tony Accardo died on May 22, 1992, from congestive heart failure and acute respiratory failure. Peskin at the hearing denied the assault and stated : This thing is bum publicity for me and no good for the industry. 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. In 1947 it is known that Evans claimed to be the owner of the establishment. The CHAIRMAN. That gives a brief background of the beginning of the Capone syndicate. That company has the cigarette-vending machines where you put in 20 cents and get out a package of cigarettes. The Chicago Crime Commission, as I understand it, is a voluntary association supported by contributions of the interested citizens; is that correct? On the west coast Fischetti has associated with Jack I. Dragna, one of the most powerful underworld leaders in that area. On January 20 police found the body of Bernie Ryan. Just recently, however, in 1948, John C. Stofel became the village president out in Cicero and was doing a very excellent job. All of you remember him undoubtedly. 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. 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. Made up of more thrill-seekers than professional criminals, this group would often rob stores and steal cars to entertain themselves. Hunt has been prominently identified with the underworld as a gunman for many years. They settled it for about 20 cents on the dollar. They were released on February 14, 1945, Gincanna gave his age as 36 years and his residence address as 2822 Lexington, Chicago. He had been pulled off the automobile that was carrying the victim away. But even in Mexico, Giancana was unable to keep a low profile. I don't recall the exact figures, but I believe that Ricca admitted in testimony there that he got between $50,000 and $100,000 a year. 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. Torrio had previously been connected with this brewery during prohibition. The CHAIRMAN. It appears in this case that the killers borrowed the automobile, in which they were transported to the place of the killing, from Buglio. That covers it I think, mostly. What is the estimated amount of money he has in those enterprises? Murray's first conflict with the law occurred in 1918 when he was arrested as John Humphreys on a charge of burglary. Still, whenever Accardo was called to court to testify on his involvement with the Outfit, he firmly denied any and all allegations. But despite his violent tendencies, Accardo also had a reputation for a quiet and calm demeanor that allowed him to climb the ranks of the Outfit faster than anyone had ever done before. When he went to work one morning he found his store in a mess. Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesOnce Al Capones bodyguard, Tony Accardo eventually rose to the top of the Chicago Mafia. 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. Several years ago August Circella was one of the owners of the notorious Colony Club on Chicago's North Side. He was asked if he knew who could've pulled off such a heist. Despite receiving multiple convictions, he never spent any serious time in jail. One of the early bodyguards of Capone was Louis (Little New York) Campagna. Most of the upper echelon was there, including Tony Accardo. But he was still available for advice. Later Fred Morelli once Cooney's bookkeeper, then became head of Century Music Co. And what better way to do that than by taking out his rage on traitors? Frank Costello of New York has admitted having an acquaintanceship with Ricca several years ago. 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. In 1950 the Chicago headquarters for Continental Press, which disseminates racing-news information throughout the United States, is located at 431 South Dearborn Street, Chicago. In 1929 the Federal grand jury charged Ralph Capone with failure to pay income taxes - November 1, 1929. Mr. PETERSON. He writes daily for The Oakland Press in Metro Detroit and focuses on Mob activity in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and New England. 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. Luckily for Accardo, he was a close confidant of Ricca, who had actually named him as his underboss before going to prison. And for a while, it was unclear who the best man for the job would be. O'Hara was then indicted but won a directed verdict on June 7, 1933. Aiuppa was also arrested in connection with the slaying of James D. Larrisen, on April 7, 1944, in the tavern of Matt Capone. Jack Guzik was very close to Al Capone until the time he died. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. PETERSON. Were there subsequent developments? In Louisiana they organized the Pelican Novelty Co. together with a number of subsidiary companies, one of which was the Bayou Novelty Co. Senator WILEY. * * *. The CHAIRMAN. The CHAIRMAN. Accardo died of heart and lung. In connection with these activities Peskin was associated with individuals who were known to be close to the Capone syndicate. The Capone gang was vitally interested in a track in Chicago known under two names, namely, the Laramie Kennel Club. Following the grand jury investigation there they moved back into the Chicago area. 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. Some time later Torrio was sentenced to serve 9 months in the Du Page County Jail and received a $5,000 fine. The United States Government was insisting that this $50,000 be included in Humphreys' income-tax returns. I think he was shot in Chicago, as a matter of fact.
