Great find David. I'd thought I had seen every Winter Hill Gang surveillance photo until you posted this one--some of the Castle Island surveillance photos are real gems. Wondering what that meeting could have been about given how three of them were informants (Flemmi, Bulger, and Mercurio.)
Thanks for your message Trafficante and this article talks about what the meeting was about.

How about these unconfirmed rumors in two articles that Ferrara had been an informant? which are
https://www.newspapers.com/article/atho ... 112868291/, / and also
https://books.google.com.au/books?id=ku ... ra&f=false and this court filing about Patriarca Junior.
https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/di ... 9/mentions that one of the crimes the federal government was going to indict Patriarca Junior was the planned murder of Ferrara as he or Grasso thought that Ferrara was cooperating with the government.
Whether that's true or Patriarca Junior and his underboss Grasso found it easy to believe about their rival Vinnie Ferrara. It's hard to say.
Also what do people make of this earliest article about Angelo Mercurio?
https://www.newspapers.com/article/the- ... 126037014/ as this article says that Mercurio was a strong arm man connected with the North End.
