The sitting around came to an end 14 months later, when Vento’s father, James “Jimmy Steaks” Vento, was convicted of contracting a murder.The elder Vento arranged the death of numbers writer Frank Angella, 38. Angella had crossed him by not following through after being hired to kill another man, Joseph Petruzzi. Petruzzi, the initial target, had committed the sin of squealing that Jim’s sold horse meat.
Horse meat, yeah.
Pingin' the cold cuts . . . uh, cases squad.
Then again, when I had horse for the first time in France two years ago, I must say, it was like chewing on rubber, with worse flavor.
LOL!! Goes great with my tagline...;-)
In the Roaring Twenties, Jack “Legs” Diamond and his mob supplied beer to “speakeasies” in New York City from a brewery in the Catskills. “Dutch” Schultz (Arthur Flegenheimer) and his mobsters operated a brewery in Brooklyn. An unusual operation was the Linden Brewery in Lindenhurst, Long Island. Apparently, Otto Eichhammer, the owner, had some strong political connections and this plant operated all during Prohibition, producing regular beer (no “near beer”). It supplied beer to “Baloney John’s,” a popular “speakeasy” in Lindenhurst, Long Island. This establishment was run by John Rechnagel, a baloney butcher from Glendale.
