Help with 1963 Chicago chart

[Villain]

Thats right. I also have it as "DiGiorgio" i made a mistake because i didnt checked it out

As for Leonard Calamia i think that at first he was under the North Side crew and later went to San Francisco where he was involved in Nick DeJohn's murder. After the murder Calamia fled San Francisco to Chicago and later was arrested by the cops and was brought back to California.Story goes that Calamia secretly snitched on two of his fellow gangsters whereabouts which was revealed two years later after the murder.

Also Buccieri's headquarters was located in the Cicero area and he also oprated in the Northwest area. After the deaths of Campagna and Maddox, Aiuppa shared the territory (Cicero) with Daddano and Buccieri untill Daddano's imprisonment and Buccieri's health failure

[Snakes]

Buccieri ran north Cicero (Madison Avenue and up).

I think Potenza had a small crew that either reported to Battaglia or straight to Giancana.

[Villain]

Frank Buccieri operated also in South Greenwood, Park Ridge.

During the early 1960's the LaPietra group also had their headquarters stationed in Cicero first at West Roosvelt Rd. and later at West 14th Street.

[Snakes]

I think the following guys were direct with Giancana in some form or fashion, as in, they were not directly under Battaglia, Buccieri, Cerone, etc. in their respective crews:

Phil Alderisio
Butch Blasi
Marshal Caifano (Las Vegas)
Willie Daddano (DuPage/Lake Counties)
Sam DeStefano
Chuck English
Joey Glimco (Unions)
Pat Marcy (First Ward)
James Mirro
Chuck Nicoletti
Rocco Potenza (NW Suburbs)
John Roselli (California)

Also, Buccieri's crew was as follows:

Boss: Fiore Buccieri

Underboss: Turk Torello
Underboss: Joe Ferriola

Street Bosses: Angelo LaPietra, Angelo Severino, Frank Buccieri

Crew Members:
James LaPietra
Steve Annoreno
John Monteleone
Carlo Morelli
Alfred Milstein
Louis DeRiggi
Joe Rossi
Frank Teutonico(a)
Angelo Petitti
Tony Monaco
Anthony Ozzanto
Michael Tenore
Joe Spadavecchio
Andrew Carsello
Chris Seritella
Frank Beto Parker
Anthony Catalano
Carmen Buccieri
John Varelli

Joey Glimco (Unions)
Pat Marcy (First Ward)

Pat Marcy, initially worked as a Secretary for John D'Arco. Therefore he was with the connection guys, under Murray Humphries and Gus Alex. Glimco, being head of the local 777 Taxi Drivers Union was also answerable to Alex and Humphries. As a side note, Glimco's brother Frank, was married to one of Alex's sisters.

One thing that isn't so clear is whether Humphies answered to Alex or vice-versa. It seems both were heading labor rackets, and were in control of various unions. For example, the above mentioned Taxi Drivers Union was run by Glimco for Alex. Alex also controlled the Hotel Workers and Bar Tenders as well as whichever local was involved in staffing his various laundry interests (A1 Industial Uniform and Paris-Munger Laundry). Alex used a guy named Gus Zapas, to front both of those for him. Humphries was in charge of Film Projector's Union and a few others.

Torello and LaPietra were almost on the same level.I also think that the LaPietra crew had another member by the name of Johnny Figurata

Rossi, Teutonica, Petitti, Monaco and Ozzanto worked as juice collectors under Severino. Their headquarters was the 1501 Club and later the Sportsman Billiard parlor in Cicero.

Monaco also worked for the Rush Street Crew

James LaPietra, Annoreno, Monteleone, Morelli, DeRiggi and Milstein worked as collectors for LaPietra. Their headquarters was the S.A.C. Club in Cicero.

Morelli and DeRiggi later dropped out of the crew

Well, as far as LCN hierarchy was concerned, they were direct to Giancana by proxy through Humphreys and/or Alex, since both were tight with Outfit leadership.

Villain, didn't they beat DeRiggi up and kick him out of the crew? I seem to remember reading about that at some point.

Anybody come across any info on Sam marcello when researching this era in outfit history?

Yeah thats right. As for Morelli he was also beaten up and later helped around at Buccieri's house at Lake Geneva i think

I found something that said Joseph Grisafe, who was killed with Marcello, usually worked for Vincent "the Saint" Inserro, and Inserro was under Aiuppa until he retired.

Also, according to many FBI docs it appears that the LaPietras and Johnny Apes were under Buccieri in 1963. They probably transferred to Chinatown after he died. The problem is that people from different crews mixed and worked together, so it's confusing. It was rare for members to switch crews in Chicago, but it does look like they did.

[Angelo Santino]

The chart is done: about 200 names and about 160 photos (I was quite surprised to acquire as many as I did.)

Rick sent to Fosco, he'll input whatever and I'll update it and post it. Depends on how long Joe takes.

I imagine there will be disagreements. Should make for some interesting (but polite and informed) discussion regarding Chicago.

There was a decent article posted a while back regarding their murders. It sounded like Marcello was fairly low level. I could be wrong though.

Sam Marcello Sr. was mostly involved in counterfeiting.

[Dwalin2014]

Speaking of Humphries, from all descriptions he seems a very intelligent gangster, a real criminal mastermind and the brains for many Outfit leaders. Yet, don't you think his end was "just a little" out of character? I mean, pointing a gun at the feds who come to arrest him, then, once disarmed, biting them to blood like an animal and getting so excited in the process to the point of dropping dead just after being released. Couldn't he just play the role of an "innocent old man" till the end or has he gone paranoic in his last years? His career really doesn't match with his last behavior in my opinion.
