No Lino ran to his cousin eddie Lino who obviously was with the Gambinos and they straightened it out for him

However if I was Lino, I would have skipped town

U already escaped once, why risk going back

Eddie was still an associate at the time the three capos were hit, and he actually spent a lot of time with the Bonannos back then. But he was close friends with Gotti, who made him into the Gambinos after the Castellano hit. He was promoted to skipper shortly thereafter. 1986 or so.

Bruno later became a capo right? A great example of going on the lam at the right time.

think more about this this must have made the family look like shitbaggs im sure the other families new this was surposed to be a capo metting to seetle for peace, and the 3 capo being 15+ yrs older then massino and his guys probably didn't think would be so dishonorable. they had a couple old capos there who didn't have a clue it was a setup. then a few of the guys won the war all turn rats. think I read sonny red told his kid stay home and strap up.

Why was it dishonorable? Rusty was the boss and the three capos tried to overthrow him.

Regardless of the move against Rustelli, you're NOT supposed to go armed to a sitdown.

The POINT of a sitdown is to resolve disputes without violence. If members cant be ensured safety at a sitdown you get ALOT of problems. That is if disputes arent mediated, and mediation is a key point in the viability of the LCN structure as opposed to common violence, then 'Organsied Crime' takes a step futher towards simple 'Crime'.

It was a Rule they broke. No weapons allowed at a sitdown. The two or more parties are supposed to talk things out. Weapons outside the meetings are fine, but can not enter when a sitdown is taking place. Castallano and Persico are to blame for it, as both told Messino to protect himself, which he interpt that he got the OK to bring the weapons by the Commission. Delocroce even was involved, he too broke that rule. The Colombo and Gambino crime families wanted this to be done fast and end the feud so they could keep making money with the Bonanno's and have an allie on the Commission. Had they waited for the three capos to exit the building with Lino then kill them, then that would have been fine.

I just read in King of the Godfathers that, one of the decisions to pull Pistone out was because 2 members outside the Bonanno Family were whacked just for their close association to Sonny Red.....Does anyone know who those two people were?

Don"t know ? Sonny Red's Son Anthony (Bruno) was spared only because Chin SAVED his LIFE ! He was called to see Chin and told him Tell me everything, Bruno did and his hit was cancelled.

Thank you downtown, I had no idea that was the reason why Bruno never got whacked. Where did you read that or learn about that?


What the book said was "Killings from the Bonanno factionalism had spread to those outside the crime family when two other mobsters believed to have been friendly with Alphonse Indelicato were murdered. Things were getting dicey."

Pistone was pulled in July of 1981 so the 2 dead guys had to be around that time........Damn! researching this could take a while, Tommy Pitera was still on the street at that time AND he was close with those guys.

You are Welcome Irish. Did not READ it any place , my family has lived in lower Manhattan since 1897. I still live Downtown.

1897 wow , that over 100 year's so maybe your more qualified to answer my burning questions ... how was GENOVESE able to overthrow 'THE PRIME MINISTER . Frank ran that family for 20 years without challenge . If Genovese came back as a capo after the war, he take a pot shot at him and now he's scared . How did BONNANO go from a heralded mafia boss in 62 to off the commission 2 years later . if Stefano his cousin was the senior member of the commission .was Gambino close to Frank Scalise ? AND finally THE GALANTE MURDER ?

Barry that is a lot to ask for, I don't know everything. Frank C abdicated to Vito knowing that he could not win a internal battle with Vito. Vito wanted to be Boss, Frank really did not care to be Boss. Frank had more wealth and political/police connections then anyone and was way to smart to fight it out. There are other way's to skin a cat and two year's after the failed hit at the Majestic Vito is convicted and later dies in prison in 1969. Carmine Galante was just to much of a true gangster, meaning that he could not be balanced and would not share any of his narcotics profits. Bonnano and Gambino crew's from downtown allied to extinguish the Cigar. Stefano and Scalise I really don't know about.

If you haven't noticed, every rule has been broken. Is overthrowing a boss honorable?

Luciano sat down with masseria and had him whacked, Luciano had marananzo hit. killing bosses has alwas been done, its always "he was going to have me hit" power moves always will happen

Yep the rules are only enforced and followed when one deemed it necessary.

lino was told to bring the guys to meeting, he did not know they were going to be killed, he ran for his life when he seen was was happening..

Yea they didn't tell Lino because he was too close to the others as he supposedly like to Dellacroce after the shooting about knowing where Bruno Indelicato was.

Does anyone know the address of the club where the murders took place?

Online sources say The Embassy Suites on Avenue U but that is definitely not the place that Jerry Capeci is standing in front of in that, Secrets of The Dead Gangland Graveyard Documentary.

I was navigating Google Street view and can't find the place Jerry is at.

Sammy's 20/20 club I cant find nada on either.

The address that Capeci was standing in front of was right on the building.

6709 13th Ave in Brooklyn

Wow! I am oblivious

Thanks!

Ha ha, no problem. By the way that show Gangland Graveyard is playing on the PBS website if anyone wants to watch it.
