tony accardo testimony

He was known as Joe the Boss, and was head of the Italian lotteries and similar illegal activities. Bookmaking operations were in progress there under his ownership. And so he bought a twenty-two room mansion at 915 Franklin Avenue for $125,000. But the bodies kept dropping. Information has been developed indicating that gunmen who have been involved in some of the shootings on the west coast have hung around Borcia's establishment in Los Angeles. The CHAIRMAN. Scott M. Burnstein, a journalist and true-crime historian, is the author of five books on organized crime. I wonder if during the lunch hour, from the point where Mr. Peterson leaves off, copies could be made. Jack Guzik, another member of the syndicate, was the business manager of the Capone syndicate or was called such during the heyday of Al Capone's regime in Chicago. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Ruth Louque. He was implicated in the million-dollar movie-extortion case along with the other Capone gangsters. Matt Capone became a fugitive for a time and later the case was dismissed against him with reference to this murder. 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. Hunt was indicted for murder and his chauffeur, Hyman Gottfreed, alias Hy Godfrey, was indicted as an accessory. No indictments were returned, however, and no further action was taken. Mr. PETERSON. As I said before he has been associated in business activities with Tony Accardo. 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. Peskin at the hearing denied the assault and stated : This thing is bum publicity for me and no good for the industry. Mr. PETERSON. On June 17, 1942, there was a finding of "not guilty" as to Tremont and other individuals indicted. 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. He is also allegedly owner of a cocktail lounge and there have also been allegations, which have not been proved, that he has an interest in a currency exchange. The CHAIRMAN. 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. Feeling disrespected and unappreciated, a rogue Chicago Outfit burglary crew robbed the suburban mansion of longtime crime boss Tony Big Tuna Accardo. The CHAIRMAN. On February 14, 1929 - I am sure you are all familiar with the St. Valentine's Day massacre in Chicago. Then Michael Volpe, the man responsible for watching the house, was called to testify. Senator WILEY. 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. On February 20, 1943, it was reported that Abraham Teitlebaum, Ralph Capone's attorney, had advised the United States marshal that Ralph Capone might surrender in order that a subpena could be served on him with reference to the New York extortion trial. Well, there were some problems. 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. /r/Mafia features stories, interviews, documentary and news articles about organized crime around the world. Joseph Horejs was put in by Stofel for the purpose of enforcing the law. 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'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. The second and third floors were devoted to gambling and the fourth floor to prostitution. . He was born on June 6, 1920, and was the youngest and last remaining child of Joseph and Mattia Cashio Accardo. Who is in charge of the union now? And what better way to do that than by taking out his rage on traitors? Is that the same person mentioned by Mr. Brown that he bought his stock from? They were also mixed up in that case. They were holding the election in Milwaukee. Joseph Aiuppa, alias Joe O'Brien, is allegedly one of the owners of the Taylor Manufacturing Co. in Cicero, Ill. Ralph Buglio's name was also mentioned in connection with the gang killing of Maurice Enright. You do have factual data to back up every statement of fact that you make before the committee? Jack Guzik himself was charged with evasion of income tax for the years 1927, 1928, and 1929. A five-bedroom, 6,200-square-foot Colonial-style mansion in River Forest once owned by legendary Chicago Outfit figure Anthony "Tony" Accardo sold Friday for $1.13 million exactly half what. One of the early bodyguards of Capone was Louis (Little New York) Campagna. In 1930 Costello and his lieutenant, Dandy Phil Kastel, were associated with Irving Hain. 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. The CHAIRMAN. He was rejected for military service. Although indicted on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, the case was nolle prossed by the State on April 10, 1931. We will resume in about 5 minutes. On the west coast Fischetti has associated with Jack I. Dragna, one of the most powerful underworld leaders in that area. The CHAIRMAN. In 1932 it was alleged that Humphreys and others were attempting to dominate the teamsters union. But even in Mexico, Giancana was unable to keep a low profile. In the early 1960s, it seemed like Accardo was in danger of serving a prison sentence. Mr. PETERSON. The first floor contained a saloon, cafe, and the office of Torrio. EIGHTY-FIRST CONGRESS Accardo had smashed the skulls of two men with a baseball bat, an act that impressed his superiors, Capone allegedly said: "This boy is a real Joe Batters." Mr. PETERSON. Tony Spilotro. He was once charged with the time-worn badger game. I haven't gone too much into the government angle, although I may cover that somewhat in the testimony. For the information of the press and others here, the committee will continue with Mr. Peterson's statement at 2:30 this afternoon in this room, but his statement will be interrupted at 3:15, at which time Mr. William Brown, the president of the Pioneer News Service, will testify. Since that time Humphreys has been arrested on numerous occasions in connection with labor racketeering, gambling, and vice activities. Accardo was famously protective of his beloved River Forest mansion, having even bumped off the architect who designed it out of suspicion that he had shared the blueprints with the FBI. When Peskin and others were indicted for conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law the Government contended that Peskin during that time was furnishing 100 stills with corn sugar for alcohol and it, is alleged that a million dollars worth of corn sugar had been sold to alcohol manufacturers by Peskin. They bought 150 juke boxes which they distributed and took about 70 spots away from Peskin. He is supposed to have - I did have the figure on this one company. He had decided to appoint Joseph Ferriola as boss. He has been considered one of the most important syndicate members in Cicero for many years. Too much time. 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. He is the son of a restaurant owner. That is right. He worked as Capones chauffeur and bodyguard before becoming captain of his own street crew. Until 1921 Kastel had operated a bucket shop under the name of Dillon & Co., which it was claimed resulted in swindling clients out of approximately a half million dollars. Senator WILEY. Associations: The Outfit, Hole in the Wall Gang, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, Frank Cullotta, Teamsters Union, Tony Accardo, Frank "Bomp" Bompensiero. This man's name is Lester A. Kruse. He has exerted a considerable amount of political influence there. They were charged in a Federal indictment with having conspired to violate the prohibition laws. McDonald was shot in the back of the head, his body dumped in an alley on April 14. Chicago History Museum/Getty ImagesThe St. Valentines Day Massacre saw seven associates of Chicagos North Side Gang gunned down. Tony Accardo died on May 22, 1992, from congestive heart failure and acute respiratory failure. At that time McLane alleged that he had been told previously by some of the gangsters, namely Frank Nitti, Paul Ricca, and Louis Campagna, that they wanted to take over control of the union in order to loot the treasury. 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. Another important member is Murray Llewellyn Humphreys, alias J. Harris, known as "The Camel," 7710 Bennett Avenue. Mr. Peterson, I think we will interrupt your statement at this point. 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. As I understand it, its membership represents about eleven or twelve thousand communities - cities or local communities. They then asked me to come here as their representative. Mr. PETERSON. Among the names contained in this book was that of Tony Accardo, together with his residence address in River Forest, Ill. I will be glad to do that. It proved an ill-conceived endeavor, and it didnt take long for Accardo to seek his proverbial pound of flesh. As a result, Accardo and attorney, Eugene Bernstein, were indicted by the Federal grand jury. SECOND SESSION, PURSUANT TO That is right, special agent in charge of the Boston office of the FBI. By David Amoruso Posted on March 13, 2010 Originally written for Mob Candy Magazine It was 1951. 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. It is known that a burglary gang has hung around the Primrose Bar in Los Angeles. He is about 47 years of age and resides with his wife, Marie Capezio at the above address. As of 1944, Sam Hunt was allegedly an official of the Drexel Wine & Liquor Co., Thirty-ninth and Cottage Grove Avenue. We reach Al Capone's brothers, Ralph, John, Albert, and Matthew - Ralph and John have been the most active insofar as racketeering activities are concerned. . On June 26, 1931, Lawrence Imburgio was arrested in a roadhouse near Wheaton, Ill. in company of Claude Maddox, Tony Capezio, Rocco De Grazio, and Doc Stacey. The CHAIRMAN. 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. He was the second of six children. On April 1, 1924, there was virtually an armed invasion of Cicero. This association recently has taken place in Florida. 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. Harry Russell, proprietor of the Silver Bar, 400 South State Street, Chicago, is a big-time gambler with affiliation with some of the most important, members of the Capone syndicate. Specifically this broadcasting station was said to be a highly technical wire-tapping service, sending out radio signals. His father was a humble shoemaker and his mother was a homemaker. They made an offer that couldn't be refused. I think it was 2 or 3 years ago. Levin was an important cog in the Capone organization during the heyday of Al Capone. Accardo was called to testify, but he took the fifth and revealed nothing. On January 9 they received a call from Volpe who told them someone had broken into their home. 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. I have the details of that in our files which I can make available to you. Time goes fast. In the meantime, Paul Ricca tried to take control as the boss. This evidence was not considered sufficient to sustain a conviction. An undated mugshot of Tony Accardo. They were released on February 14, 1945, Gincanna gave his age as 36 years and his residence address as 2822 Lexington, Chicago. Volpes eyeglasses were recovered from a safe inside the residence during a raid years later, but his body has never been unearthed. Tony Accardo Testifies Before Congress 1984 The National Crime Syndicate 38.1K subscribers 8.4K views 8 years ago Tony Accardo appears before congress in 1984 to answer questions about. When Capone was, committed to Federal prison, Frank Nitti became the head of the Capone gang. Campagna has made a fortune from gambling activities in Cook County. 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 CHAIRMAN. He, Evans, was indicted with these men and Louis Romano and Thomas Panton in 1940 on a charge of conspiracy in the bartenders' union that I mentioned previously. The Accardo family had for years lived in a modest ranch house at 1431 Ashland Avenue in the Chicago suburb of River Forest. 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. Mr. Peterson, will you come around, please? In fact, as far back as 1931 he testified in connection with a case that he was a commission man and that when business was good he handled from $25,000 to $50,000 a day in bets. I have the address in some of my other notes here. On July 5, 1945, Joe Aiuppa was fined $50 on a charge of accepting horse- race bets, by a justice of the peace in the Willow Springs court. But he was still available for advice. DeMere approached Buglio and asked him to go outside for a conference and a few minutes later the shooting occurred. On June 12, 1931, Fusco was indicted with Al Capone and other members of the Capone mob in Federal court, totaling 69 defendants, charged with liquor conspiracy. 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. Mr. PETERSON. He became the operator of a restaurant known as Colosimo's, which was located at 2136 South Wabash Avenue. I might say to you, Mr. Peterson, that the Director of the FBI, Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Nichols, the Assistant Director, have spoken very highly of your work with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and also with the Chicago Crime Commission. The CHAIRMAN. In 1944 it was alleged that Gus Alex, Hymie Levin, Gus Liebe, and others were connected with the notorious gambling. This was a night club which featured big-time gambling. In recent months John Capone has been associated with Herman Kiefus, who has been very active in gambling activities on the South Side. 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. Capone had already established himself as a tough gunman with the Five Points gang of New York City. You can get the information and furnish it to the committee later. 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. 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. Still, whenever Accardo was called to court to testify on his involvement with the Outfit, he firmly denied any and all allegations. They changed the ordinance to read differently than it had before, which took his control over the chief of police.

Arrested in this raid were John Patton, Robert Larris McCullough, Joe Fusco, Frank Nitti, and others. Borcia has a criminal record and was paroled May 14, 1941, from the Auburn State Penitentiary in New York. Rocco Fischetti, Sam Hunt, and Murray Humphreys also. Max Caldwell, alias Max Pollack, an ex-convict, had been in charge of the union funds. Following the grand jury investigation there they moved back into the Chicago area. SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE The headquarters for the Torrio mob was at the Four Deuces, 2222 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago. The hit parade continued and got more brutal. Hetogs was the final member of the crew of burglars who could have been or were involved in the burglary of Accardo's home. Mr. PETERSON. After his recovery he served his jail sentence and then he abdicated his underworld throne in Chicago to Al Capone. That is when Frank Capone was killed. But just before he began serving his sentence he was ambushed and shot. Of course, in the Apex Cigarette Service Co. he is one of the principal owners as I understand it, but I can't give you an estimate of the amount of money involved in the enterprises. 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. The CHAIRMAN. It is my impression that the man he bought it from is Arnold Kruse, but I wouldn't say for sure. Shortly thereafter the entire loot was returned to Levinson. No arrests were made until April 25, 2005, when 14 members of the Chicago Outfit (including reputed boss James Marcello) were . I mentioned a short while ago the records recovered by the Los Angeles Police with reference to Jack I. Dragna and his lieutenant, Mo Mo Adamo. That company has the cigarette-vending machines where you put in 20 cents and get out a package of cigarettes. He is still apparently active. The CHAIRMAN. He was found not guilty on June 17, 1942. 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. 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. Last reports were to the effect that Imburgio was suffering from Burger's disease, which has incapacitated him. Al Capone was suspected of organizing the hit and Tony Accardo was accused of participating. Chicago mobster Anthony Accardo's former home, at 1407 Ashland Avenue in River Forest sold for $1.5 million, the Chicago Tribune reported. 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. Two persons familiar with crime. The CHAIRMAN. In 1942 he was indicted along with other important members of the policy racketeers, namely, Julius Benvenuti, Edward Jones, George Jones, McKissick Jones, Pat Manno, Julian Black, and numerous others by the Cook County Grand Jury. That case went to trial and all they had was Egan's confession, and there was an acquittal in the case. Mr. PETERSON. Mr. PETERSON. This killing was in connection with the street-cleaners union. 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. Too much time. He has also resided at 9199 Collins Avenue, Surfside, Fla., just north of Miami. The Texas Times Herald, Dallas, Tex., on December 19, 1946, linked Pat Manno with others in an effort by Chicago gangsters to take over $14,000,000 annual gambling and racket concession in Dallas County. Without any question he is one of the leading members of the syndicate. Mr. PETERSON. They were indicted. A call was made to Las Vegas where The Outfit's Anthony Spilotro (photo left) protected the mob's casino skimming operations. "Little New York" Campagna admitted having an interest in and receiving huge sums of money as his share from the proceeds of this establishment.
