Cleveland circa '65

[Dwalin2014]

Borgia's story could be made in an action gangster/police movie imo. Really a "clever" idea: putting a bounty for every policeman killed...If he lived in the same time period as Toto' Riina, they would have become best friends probably.

That's what I said to be A good movie !! , if I recall it was 150 a pop that's 2400 in today's dollars .
Do you happen know How many did he have killed ? I would have to reread he articles . I do have the some of the newspaper articles, I can post them to the forum if anyone is interested

I am not sure 100%, apart from some articles the most detailed description I found was in the book "Wicked Akron", where it's said he had 4 killed (Guy Norris, Edward Costigan, Joseph Hunt, Gethin Richards), but was sentenced for 1 murder only (the Richards one), probably because it was the only one where he was present at the crime scene, so it was easier to prove, although the triggermen implicated him for the other 3 too. It also says after he was executed, another policeman were killed and 2 wounded, revenge maybe (since there wasn't anyone left to pay the bounty). Also, Borgia said he accepted a contract from an outsider to kill somebody, but it's all from the book, don't know if it's 100% verified:

There was also a site with the list of people executed in Ohio and Akron specifically back then, with photos of each, there was the same photo of Borgia as in the book and several others from his group, the ones who went to the chair too. Don't know why, I can't find the link anymore; I remember just writing "Rosario Borgia" on google, and the link came up in the picture section among the first results. Now, it's not there. Maybe I still have their photos downloaded on my computer though, can post if I find them.

In some articles, I remember Rosario Borgia (sometimes spelled Borgio, don't know which one is correct) also used the name Russell Burg.

Stroccos, please post the articles you mentioned, since most of the ones from that time period aren't for free I think, I remember the newspaper archive I found required a subscription, but after paying for it, it was hard to get it cancelled, I wanted it for 1 month only, to read some articles, and now don't have it anymore. Would be interesting to read them.

I paid for a month as I said, will make another subscription of course, it's just I have to decide first which articles to look for. When I had the first subscription, I didn't think about Borgia. I only meant that unfortunately users aren't completely "free" to decide when to interrupt and resume the subscription, they start asking questions why don't I want to pay for the next month, when maybe I just feel like taking a break etc; at least it was like that the first time, maybe it changed, I will check. Most of the sites allow users to just pay for a certain period; if I decide not to subscribe for the immediately following month, they have no problems with that...

Why are you so interested in Akron?

In this case it was just about Borgia, not Akron in general (although maybe will read about general information too later). Borgia got me curious because that dumb strategy of trying to openly terrorize law enforcement, isn't typical of mafia-type organized crime in America as far as I know...In Italy, once Riina was in charge, it was pretty much common, but in America it's a unique case I think. What was Borgia thinking, I wonder. And why isn't his story more widely known? People still say Lepke Buchalter is the only mob boss to be executed, but Borgia theoretically should have made more headlines with his anti-police "terror campaign".

I have a question about the Cleveland rep in Newport Kentucky Frank screws Andrews I'm from there and I just want to know a little more about it about him if he was made or and why you was killed

Made? He wasn't Italian. He was under Moe Dalitz and the old Cleveland Mayfield Road Mob which consisted of the Milano Brothers and all the Jewish boys. Check out this article: https://issuu.com/cincinnati/docs/nky-a/29

This journal is well researched and very accurate: https://justice.eku.edu/sites/justice.e ... ay2000.pdf

HIs real name is frank Andriola , I believe he was Italian , his brother had a Italian restauarant in cinci

I don't think anyone knows the reason he was killed. except the payers and the doers, assuming that is he was murdered and not actually jumped himself
