Repeat earlier Q:
Who was the boss of Chicago's Unione Siciliana who died, clearing the way for Capone to whack Dion O'Banion? (It wasn't Frankie Yale, who was one of O'Banion's murderers.)

Since no one has ansered:
Joseph (Socks) Lanza was the boss of the NYC docks at the time that Luciano made his deal on behalf of US Naval Intelligence.
Q. Name the two NY State prisons that Luciano served time in for his prostitution conviction before being deported.

If so-Where did Capone claim to serve in WWI?

Actually its not true. Its popular folklore, and Gambino liked the Yankees, but there was no game scheduled that day (look it up).

A. Salemme's nickname was "Cadillac".

Q. Speaking of nicknames, what was mob boss Thomas Lucchese's nickname, and WHY was he called that?

Carlo Gambino died of a heart attack while watching the New York Yankees game at his modest summer home in Long Island on Oct. 15, 1976. His successor was Paul Castellano.

There was no game played that day. The Yanks won the league series on the 14th (beating Kansas City), and the World Series started on the 16th (against the Cincinnati Reds).

Like I said, it was just "folklore".
