Appalachin News article question
There was an article from the NY times during the Appalachin craze where it provided names but also either gave names or provided numbers as to how many Sicilians and non-Sicilians attended the meeting. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

It was conjecture.... and baloney! They claimed they “suspected” Settecase from Sicily attended.

I'm having no luck relocating it. I'm guessing it came out of McClellan Committee testimony (not Valachi). It was a distributed between four or five printed books that I scanned way back in the day including high res scans of the charts. Does anyone know if they are available online in PDF form where I can word-search?
Re: Appalachin News article question
Chris, are you sure it was a NYT article? I have some vague memory the NYDN had published one with a summary of who was apprehended and who wasn't. When I'm home I'll have a look for it, as I'm sure I had it archived somewhere. I think this older summary was based on some of these early publications, but I'm unsure how correct it is:

This data was compiled by the FBN and submitted to a legislative committee. Some accompanying text specifies that two of the non-Sicilian attendees were born in Calabria. No info specifies where the American-born attendees trace their heritage.

Lots of wiseguys in Missouri once upon a time with families in Kansas City and St. Louis.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.
Re: Appalachin News article question
Trafficante had a home in Cuba and was reportedly living there in the 1950s.
I've seen a lot of reports that matter-of-factly say Joe Bonanno was in attendance. He denies attending in his book and the driver's license story sounds ridiculous, but Stefano Magaddino was recorded saying Joe Bonanno wasn't invited to Apalachin because they had learned Bonanno was drinking buddies with some LE officials and too open with them. So Bonanno and his cousin nemesis agree he wasn't there.

When he was arrested, he gave an alias Louis Santos or something like that and yeah, his home adress was in Cuba at the time
