His ties to Ontario (Toronto mainly) are from Salvatore Scalici other brother to Frank, Joe, and Giovanni Scalise. It is murky, but all connections lead to Antonio Macri, head boss of the Calabrians in Toronto. Salvatore did a lot of bootlegging in the 1920s and 1930s with a partner named Domenico LoPresti (I have not seen anything to suggest he was related to the LoPresti of Montreal) who lived in Toronto. In the 1930s and 1940's, Scalici had a Narcotics pipeline into Toronto, with Lorenzo D'Angelo, Jean-Pierre Duvall, the Gennaro brothers, the LuPrezzi brothers, and the Marci family. Antonio once becoming boss did business with Frank Costello of the Genovese Crime family (gambling, unions) and Albert Anastasia of the Gambino crime family. For some reason, Joe Bonanno, Stefano Magaddino, and Joe Profaci declined an invite to Toronto for a meeting. In Bonanno and Maggadino case, I believe Montreal was on their minds, no clue about Joe Profaci, best guess would be cause he was allied with the other two, he declined. Salvatore Scalici and Paul Gambino where close, Paul old stomping grounds was Yonkers, and Slavatore was the Bronx. Salvatore lived in NJ, pretty sure Burlington, Paul lived in New York City.
Biondo was the Gambino Consigliere when Frank Scalise was killed, and Albert Anastasia was killed. Carlo Gambino did not become underboss till September 1957, he had help from Joe Biando, other Mangano loyalists, as well as help from Lucchese dropping his name in certain circles right after Frank Scalise was killed, as a possible candidate for UB in the Gambino family.
SonnyD, it is possible that there were two Salvatore Chiri's, or two mobsters that had similar names, but what are the chances of two being called Salvatore Charles Chiri?

A slim one for sure But then the chances of having 2 Anthony Salerno's in the same Genovese crew would seem pretty remote, but it happened. Bill Bonanno seems pretty adamant a Salvatore "Tata" Chiricho was a long time member of the Gambino's since the 1920's and Anastasia's UB in the 1950's and that the Commission meeting took place at his home in Pelham Bay 1951.
