My bad....all the folks at the coffee shop by my apt are Serbians. Thought Gangs of St Louis described the gang as such, my fault.

I remember reading about Jimmy St. Michael and some war his organization had, with another Serbian organization led by another gangster of Serbian decent, I believe. The guy died a few years ago and lived to be quite old, I remember when he died, one of the other forums, which I forget, linked a longform article about the guy and the war with St. Michael. I forget his name but he was supposedly another big time gangster.

Gangs of St Louis by Daniel Waugh touches on the subject. It uses newspaper articles and pieces together a history of OC in prohibition era St Louis. For the most part the Italians spent to whole time fighting, with each other and with other gangs. There still isn't, IMO, a clear view of Mafia history in St Louis. Unless you lump something together with no proof.

South St Louis county has a large Serbian population. Jimmy St. Michaels is a name, blown up heading south on I-55.

There was also Bosko "The Yugo" Radonjich. He was the last Boss of The Westies and a Gambino Associate.

I haven't gone through all the articles, but from what I saw it did look like the same case.

He was last reported being released from prison for manslaughter in 1947. He may have returned to Yugoslavia or deported at that time. It looks like he was deported once before and returned. Still following up why the newspapers identified him as a politician.
Thanks for the information, now I get it why he was never mentioned, since it wasn't the same Chicago. But was the manslaughter term that ended in 1947 related to another case or was it for the same Marovich murder conviction?
