In my opinion, Frank Milano was on the Commission for only a few years, maybe up to 1934. Then he stepped down and was replaced in Cleveland by Romano, but his Commission seat was dropped.
The timeline is confused. Gentile says that Milano was on the Commission and the Cleveland boss in 1931/32. Then Angelo Lonardo said he killed Dr. Romano in 1936 with the permission of Milano, but that Romano was the ex-boss. Another informant confirms that Romano was a boss in the 1930s. So was Milano sort of like a Tony Accardo or Paul Ricca and give approval to kill a boss? Seems to indicate that Cleveland was removed from the Commission for this incident. Maybe Lonardo meant Romano was a former boss when he said it, that he was a former boss at the time that he was testifying, not at the time he killed him. So who's on first?
weatger POlizzi was in charge When Romano got whacked or took the helm after is up for debate , romano got whacked by MIlton rockman , JOhn Demarco , Angelo Lonardo and possibly one other who name escapes me , remember Romano was part of a rival faction and he operated on LOnardos cousin and he died. . Being A capo Demarco allegely got the blessing of frank milano to whack ROmano. Romano knew people were after him he beef up secuirty at his place, what did ROmano do ? THey shot Romanos dick off and blasted him up , I think allan may wrote abut it . This sounds like some kind of revenge killing more then biz. Weather frankk milno gave the ok to Demarco we will never know , but lonardo wasnt in on that convo , he only followed Demarco into the fire.
