Re: Sam Lima being San Fran consigliere in 1929. This is a good piece of info not just for the trivia of it, but because we have few confirmed examples of the consigliere position pre-1931 and some of the Castellammarese War and Luciano mythologies claim that Luciano created the consigliere position after the war, which is not true. This adds another example showing that it predated Luciano and the war.

This book covers the Lima Brothers Trial in Marion, OH around 1910. They raided Sam Lima's fruit store in 1909 and found a letter that he was writing to Giuseppe DiCarlo in Buffalo dated May 19, 1909 among others around the country. They have the photos of the envelopes and who they were addressed to.

Some very early stuff on Antonio and the Lima brothers. Articles from 1909

This is the letter from Sam Lima in Marion, OH to Giuseppe DiCarlo (Joe the Wolf’s father). He was connected all over the country from the early 1900s, photo from the book Inspector Oldfield and the Ohio Black Hand Society.

I just picked up this book, super interesting, thanks.

Does anyone have, or has seen, a legitimate photograph of Francesco Lanza? From what I'm told, this photo floating around is not the same Don Cicciu.

I'm still trying to tie in how Johnny Rosselli relates to the killing of Luigi Malvese in SF in 1932. Anyone have any other details on that?

I am also seeking, if at all possible, photos of: James Franzone, Dr. Gregory Genovese, Vincenzo Infusino, LaFatas related to Rosalino, Pete Misuraca, Phil Morici, Anthony "Turkey Tony" Perconti, Joe Piazza (and Dominic Lonardo), Salvatore "Sam Murray" Termini, Giuseppe Vicari, and Stefano "Steve" Zoccoli...

Also, I had stumbled across this website/blog and article that mention two of "Al Capone's agents" that were sent to "terrorize" Gus Oliva (the "unofficial mayor of North Beach") in SF when Capone was trying to take over the sugar moonshine business. The men were later found dead in a car below a Point Reyes (coast-side) cliff... Is anyone familiar with this and have any other details? (Please see highlighted sections of attachments.)
