On May 11, 1920, Big Jim Colosimo was killed in gangland fashion in Chicago. On October 5 his family reported him missing, and he hasn't been seen since. And so he bought a twenty-two room mansion at 915 Franklin Avenue for $125,000. I haven't gone too much into the government angle, although I may cover that somewhat in the testimony. That information, of course, has been a matter of public record over a long period of time. Several years before he was killed, Colosimo had imported to Chicago a bodyguard by the name of John Torrio. It is stated that Ricca came to this country about 1920 and that his name in Italy was Magleo or Maglio.

In recent years Humphreys has been associated with Guzik, "Little New York" Campana and many other prominent members of the Capone syndicate. 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. Much to his dismay, he was later called as a witness before a grand jury. I think that may be correct, but I don't know that I have that. How many years ago was that? Our files would probably show whether they are or not. But just before he began serving his sentence he was ambushed and shot. DEC 18 1950. Torrio had built up power for his organization of gangsters, and this was taken over by Capone and became even more powerful as time elapsed. Accardo must've been worried. I haven't gone too much into the government angle, although I may cover that somewhat in the testimony. But their holiday would be short lived. That is spelled U-a-l-e or, commonly, Y-a-l-e. 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. 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. In 1931 the crime commission named him as a public enemy. He has a brother, August Circella, who has been proprietor of gambling establishments in Chicago. Mr. PETERSON. I would hate to say that definitely, but it could very well be. While he was slowly becoming an important voice in the Outfit, he wasnt ready to become the boss of the whole operation just yet. Steven Garcia's throat had also been slashed from ear to ear, but instead of being shot, Garcia had multiple stab wounds. Pat Manno, alias Patrick J. Manning, has been in the policy racket in Chicago for many years. He returned to Chicago after having served his Federal sentence on February 27, 1934. Frank Diamond was sentenced to the penitentiary in 1943. The 71-year-old Accardo seethed, less for rage over property lost than over the breach of respect. Is your testimony going to apply to gangs, as you say, attempting to take over local government? 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. 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. This company incidentally is owned by his brother-in-law, M. R. DeTolve, president of the company. The Cicero contingent of the Capone syndicate is one of the most important. Senator WILEY. He was 85 and a lifelong resident of Hester. 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 .

In fact, Heeney was prominently mentioned in the congressional investigation of the parole of Paul Ricca and other members of the Capone mob. He was asked if he knew who could've pulled off such a heist. Accardo was called to testify, but he took the fifth and revealed nothing. Even as he got older, he continued to insist that he was a beer salesman and nothing more. In connection with the Federal parole of Paul Ricca, "Little New York" Campagna, Charles Gioe, and Phil D'Andrea, Accardo was indicted in Federal court in Chicago. As previously indicated, Frank Costello, Joe Adonis, John Torrio, and other members of the gang gained control of legitimate liquor business. His throat had been slashed from ear to ear and he had been shot four times. The significance of that is that it then means that successful candidates who depend upon that particular revenue for their election to office then must listen to the racketeering or criminal elements with reference to law-enforcement policies, and some of the law-enforcement officials then are under the control of your law violators. As I said before, until the repeal of prohibition the principal activities of this group were related to the illegal liquor traffic. 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. It is a separate municipality? It will be recalled that both Maddox and Tony Accardo were both sought as suspects in connection with the St. Valentine's Day massacre in February 1929. The CHAIRMAN.

I see you have about three more pages on Chicago. In 1974, Giancana was arrested by Mexican authorities and returned to America. Volpes eyeglasses were recovered from a safe inside the residence during a raid years later, but his body has never been unearthed. 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.

Despite receiving multiple convictions, he never spent any serious time in jail. Harry Levinson was one of those men who could call Antonino Accardo a friend. And if you think Al Capone was a ruthless gangster, take a look at his bloodthirsty brother Frank Capone. Anthony Spilotro was a soldier and enforcer for the Chicago Outfit who was . He was also the husband of his wife Clarice, with whom he had two daughters and two adopted sons. Information was also secured to the effect that Humphreys was a partner of Evans in this enterprise. But despite receiving multiple convictions for several crimes, Tony Accardo only ever spent one day in jail when he was picked up for questioning in a gambling case. And eventually, he would take over the entire Outfit. Jack Guzik himself was charged with evasion of income tax for the years 1927, 1928, and 1929. 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.

That case went to trial and all they had was Egan's confession, and there was an acquittal in the case. The CHAIRMAN. Nothing had been stolen but the house had been ransacked. 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. Torrio was arrested and so were numerous other individuals. 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. On November 20, 1930, he was found guilty and sentenced to a term of 5 years in the Federal penitentiary and fined $7,500. With the distribution of alcohol once again legal, the Outfit had to find a new source of income. He was murdered in the Rouse House in Libertyville, which was the site of a 1980 crime in which 15-year-old William Rouse used a shotgun to murder his millionaire parents, Bruce and Darlene Rouse.. Following the grand jury investigation there they moved back into the Chicago area. He was found not guilty on June 17, 1942. But the bodies kept dropping. 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.

Louis "Little New York" Campagna, 2927 Maple Avenue, Berwyn, Ill., also has farms in Berrien Springs, Mich., and Fowler, Ind. In 1924 he began operating the Evans Co., at 311 Curtiss Street. That was before the Taft-Hartley Act, in 1943. He is supposed to have a farm in Kendall County, Ill., about 1,100 acres there, which has been managed or was during the war by Francis Curry. Once in 1933 he received a sentence of 1 year in the House of Correction on a concealed weapons charge. Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesOnce Al Capones bodyguard, Tony Accardo eventually rose to the top of the Chicago Mafia. The Outfit did not do well under the leadership of Giancana, and he was eventually imprisoned in 1965. Dobkin has been a betting commissioner for many years. The CHAIRMAN. Cicero has long been the headquarters for the Capone gang. 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. He was 86 years old a remarkable achievement for someone who had spent most of his life in such a dangerous business. In April 1924 a raid was made on a brewery - Sieben Brewery - operated by John Torrio and his gang. One reporter wrote: "Accardo has more brains for breakfast than Al Capone ever had all day." He was released in each of those instances. Many of them remained in the same field following prohibition. And to this day, not nearly as many people know Accardos name. When Capone was, committed to Federal prison, Frank Nitti became the head of the Capone gang. The CHAIRMAN. Peskin admitted to the police, however, that he had made a threat to Nathan that he would "cut his throat" but claimed he meant it only in a business way.

A protg of Prohibition-era boss Al Capone, Accardo ordered a combined 10 revenge slayings and cover-up murders tied to the daring predawn break-in. What was the result of that? However, they were subsequently released as a result of court action and are presently on parole pending appeal.

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. Borselino was a member of the notorious westside Wild Bunch, a group of grizzled Cicero enforcers tasked with the Outfits most difficult jobs. Ralph Capone spends a large amount of time in Mercer, Wis., where he is said to own a tavern and summer resort. The CHAIRMAN. In July 1938 Rocco De Stefano, his father, Michael, and others were arrested by the State's attorney's police for failure to pay over $14,000 in sales taxes for 15 months. That is when Frank Capone was killed. He dropped out of school in the sixth grade and was arrested for the first time at age 15. Specializing in bookmaking, Accardo took control of the wire services that carried racing information.

Months later, Anthony Little Tony Borsellino and Gerald Jerry the Dinger Carusiello were slain with bullets to the back of the head. Pollack associated with numerous other members of the Capone syndicate, and it was customary for him to take them on airplane trips from Chicago to Miami. 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.

TESTIMONY OF VIRGIL W. PETERSON, OPERATING DIRECTOR, CHICAGO CRIME COMMISSION, REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION. Al Capone was suspected of organizing the hit and Tony Accardo was accused of participating. In a criminal career that spanned eight decades, he rose from small-time hoodlum to the position of day-to-day boss of the Chicago Outfit in 1947, to ultimately becoming the final Outfit authority in 1972. 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 was convicted and sentenced to prison. 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.

In the early 1920's while the Torrio-Capone organization was flourishing in Chicago, the principal underworld leader in New York City was Arnold Rothstein.

They bought 150 juke boxes which they distributed and took about 70 spots away from Peskin. By the late 1940s the "Capone mob" was called The Outfit, and was run by Antonino "Joe Batters" Accardo (photo right). HEARINGS BEFORE THE Senator WILEY. The Capone syndicate then formed its own racing news information service which was called the Trans-American Publishing & News Service, Inc. Accardo, as I mentioned before, was one of the alleged plotters of the St. Valentine's Day massacre in 1929. See Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. at 708, 92 S. Ct . But in 1931, the fearsome mobster was put behind bars for tax evasion. Phil D'Andrea, as you know, was recently - in 1943 - convicted with other Capone gangsters in the movie extortion case. I have that in another paper here, I am sure, but I do not have it with me. A confidential address book was seized from Dragna's principal lieutenant, Giroloma Adamo, alias Mo Mo. 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. This is back in 1940.

Mr. PETERSON. This Lester A. Kruse, the fellow I am talking about, on April 26, 1940, a Federal grand jury returned three indictments before Federal Judge James A. Wilkerson, naming Western Union and 18 gamblers and horse-race-news distributors as operators of schemes to take over the lucrative racing information business abandoned by Moe Annenberg. His draft card in 1944 which was found on him when he was arrested carried the address of 5123 University Avenue.
