I know Richie "the boot" was one powerful guy. read somewhere he had a creamotorium on his jersey property.
It was an industrial sized furnace. And in many of the Gyp De Carlo transcripts, he and others are overheard talking about it, and guys being scared to the death to go up to his house, especially using the path that led to the space where the furnace was at, as they had no idea if they'd be coming back.
