Since no one has answered: Joe Bonanno wasn't at the meeting--he stayed several miles away in a motel, and sent his second in command, Gaspar DiGregorio. But, several months earlier, Bonanno had given his driver's license to DiGregorio to renew while Bonanno was on "vacation" in Italy (he was really in Sicily, meeting with Charlie Luciano and some Sicilians to set up a dope smuggling operation). DiGregorio stuck Bonanno's license in his wallet--and promptly forgot about it. When he was nailed at the Apalachin meeting, the cops lifted his wallet, found Bonanno's license in it, and reported that "Joseph Bonanno" had been arrested. (DiGregorio probably was the inspiration for the old joke about the guy who was drummed out of the Mafia for being too dumb: they sent him to blow up a car, he burned his lips on the tailpipe  ) New Q: Which famous singer performed at Bill Bonanno's wedding?

Local 1814 of the International Longshoreman's Assn. (and a five-point bonus for the "o")  . Q. Frankie (Mr. Grey) Carbo is famous for running the Mob's fight rackets in NYC in the Forties and Fifties. Whose earlier West Coast murder was he involved in as a contract shooter?

Political force?! What do you mean with that....I don't see any link between Guliano and Political Force Sorry for interupting the game... [/b][/quote]The biography at the link below explains Giuliano's ties to the right-wing Sicilian separatist movement: http://salvatore-giuliano.biography.ms/

[/b][/quote]It has been reported over the years that Jack Dragna personally took out Bugsy, but I also read that Frankie Carbo has been suspected of personally carrying out the hit on the orders of Lansky. If Dragna was the answer that you were looking for, then please post another question as I already posted one in response to your original question and I did not provide the answer that you were looking for.
