Valachi claimed that either Manfredi Mineo or Stefano Ferrigno did this.
In the old days the way I was made to understand, if a member was married and he had a sweetheart he was in plenty to trouble but the bosses developed a habit if they fell for a member's wife he would have the husband killed whether she like it or not. There were not many of these doings but the few that there were that I know of I will talk about it as I go on. One I already told you about, that was the one who got killed on Pelham Parkway.
He said that we got two bosses and he tells me their names they were Alfred Mineo and Steve Ferrigno. Now he goes on to tell me that they had a meet at the Pelham Parkway Apartment, all told he said they were about twenty of them and that afternoon they were breaking up the meet and they were coming out of the apartment in pairs two at a time every five minutes two will come out. Now they let a lot of guys go by, now these two bosses come out they didn't want to take a chance and let these two bosses go by if they knew for sure if Joe the 'Boss will come out they will had let these two bosses go by but they figure that let's drop these two or we may get nothing at all. Now we find out Joe the Boss was there and he was going to be the last one out. So he got away. So I asked him did they get the guy that lived there, he said yes he was one of them. Then I asked how did the wife react as I was told that she will be happy, was she happy, he said I know both of them, she was so happy that she is going back to Italy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was Stefano Ferrigno who had ties to Pelham Parkway, but his wife and kids stayed in Pelham indefinitely after the murder and were still there as of the 1940 census. WIth Manfredi being older, maybe Valachi was referring to him
