Here's some notes I took of an interesting character a couple of years ago:
Scardina (Scardini), Giovanni (John) Battista – 26 (c1882-?) Lived at 96 Oak Street (1908), charged with killing Joseph Cancillo (Concillo) of 37 Gault Street, who was being extorted for $500. Cancillo was poor, but he had a wealthy uncle named Giuseppe Bruiscato, of 64 Milton Ave. Cancillo was killed in the saloon of Isadore Sorcit at 66 Milton Ave. Police arrested Nicholas Milio, who killed an Italian saloonkeeper (Gioacchino Alaria on Dec 24, 1907) in Portland, Oregon, and described as a gang leader; Antonio Cantagnatti, Louis Morelli, and Joseph Giovanni. Also arrested were Giuseppe Marino, 40, and his son Dominick Marino, 19, of 110 Gault Court. Scardina evaded capture. Wife: Rose. [A John Battista Scardina, born in Bagheria on Jan 1, 1889, was naturalized in Cook County in 1923 and lived at 1111 Townsend St, and 732 N Ridgeway Ave in 1918 with his wife Mary Aiello; in 1926 their son Sam Nunzio Scardino identified Tony Aiello as the killer of Antonio Spano.] Mariano Scardina (Feb 13, 1885, Bagheria-Nov 8, 1907), then 24, was killed in a drunken brawl on Nov 18, 1907, in a saloon at 69 Oak Street. He was the son of the proprietor. Giuseppe Tragna, 34, a laborer, confessed to stabbing him. His parents were Vincenzo Scardina Josephine Scordato (or Scarlata). Mariano Scardina’s brother Salvatore (Sam) was slain on May 20, 1917. He was a chauffeur and last drove a man and a woman to West 22nd Street and South Cicero Ave. His body was found in Riverside, IL.A Giovanni Scardina who arrived on April 14, 1904, matches the age (he was 21) and was destined for his uncle Filippo Balistreri in Chicago. He was from Trabia.
