Q. Al Capone had his one time friend, and former employer, not to mention sometime shooter Frankie Yale killed. Why?

A. Capone was using Yale to truck booze from the East to Chicago. Yale was stealing Capone's booze and claiming he'd been hijacked.
Q. Where did Capone finish out his one-year sentence for carrying a gun?

A. Philadelphia I'm thinking. If I'm right then here is my question.

Q. How was Al Capones older brother Frank killed? (easy one I know, the first thing that popped into my head)

A: He was killed by Chicago cops when he was about to take out his gun and shoot them!

Q: 1936 - Lucky Luciano was sentenced to a prison term of 30-50 years. Why?!

A. Running prostitution rackets.
Q. Name the two prisons where he served his sentence.

A: Sing Sing (where part of Analyze That with De Niro was filmed!) and Clinton state. Actually he wasn't in Sing Sing too long so the other one is Great Meadow.

Q: What Ricca-controlled stooge was used to assasinate the mayor of Chicago in an open motorcade (reminiscent of something eh?!) back in the thirties?

OK since no-one has come up with an answer the answer is: Guiseppe Zangara (who assasinated Anton Cermak in 1933)

Q: How many bosses were present at the Appalachin meetin?

I couldn't tell you how many bosses but there was roughly 60 arrests of upper echelon members made.

Q. Great Meadow was one of the two prisons where Luciano served time. What was the other? (It was neither Sing Sing nor Clinton.)

(Note to Accardo and Turi: The New York bosses who were present at the Apalachin meeting were Joe Profaci, Tommy Lucchese, Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese. However, Lucchese escaped through the woods and wasn't arrested. Joe Bonanno and Stefano Magaddino, two other New York bosses (the latter was the boss of Buffalo, NY and eastern Canada) weren't at the meeting--they were nearby in Endicott, NY. The NY newspapers never identified any out-of-towners, presuming that their names wouldn't be of interest.)

A: New Jersey's Trenton State Prison

Q: This gangster was convicted on April 2,1992 for 14 counts of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, loansharking, racketeering, obstruction of justice, illegal gambling, and tax evasion.

John Gotti?
If so: How did Tommy Luchese lose his finger?

Supposedly he lost it in an accident in a factory.
Q. In what prison besides Great Meadow did Charlie Luciano serve his sentence before being deported (not Trenton State).

Gotti is correct.

A: Tommy Luchese lost his finger in an industrial accident in 1919.

Q: Where did Tommy Luchese get the "Brown" portion of his nickname, "Three-Finger-Brown?"

Sorry Turnbull...guess we posted at the same time. Looks like I had the wrong answer also to your question. Oops.

The only other thing I can come up with is either Dannemora, or US Federal Prison

Dannemora is correct, i've just came across it on a dvd of mine this morning and you've beat me to it. Ask away.

Q: This old mobster had the nickname "LORD HIGH EXECUTIONER"

There was a picther Mordecai Brown who only had 3 fingers. DT's question still stands-
I know the answer, I can see the guy's face, I just cant remember his name.

A. That would be Albert Anastasia.

Q. The only high ranking member to pay for his crimes in the electric chair?

A: Louis "Lepke" Buchalter

Q: the most ruthless sicilian mob boss, who took over the corleone family in sicily.

Has to be Salvatore "Toto" Riina who had the two judges Falcone and Borselino blown up.
