criminal element as he was among several men convicted
of killing a fellow countryman in a quarrel. After months
in the death house at Sing Sing Prison ANASTASIA Won 8
retrial on a technical plea. -
. Meanwhile the State's best witness in this
case was frightened back to Italy. On the retrial, ALBERT -
was acquitted. He was arrested for assult in 1923 but _
won a discharge by the same technique of intimidating witnesses.
The same year he was convicted of possessing a gun. He - -
served two years in the penitentiary. _ "
In 1928 the subject was charged with another
murder and in 1932 with stabbing a man to death with an
ice-pick, but was dismissed for lack of evidence both times.In 1933 he was tried for the killing of a Brooklyn laundryman
but the State's witnesses somehow changed their story and 5
he got off again.
By this time the subject was rising to power
.on a Brooklyn waterfront. He became a pier superintendent nd dominated six locals of the International Longshoremen'sssociation,.A.F.L. In additibn, ALBERT had become a friend,he admitted in l9Sl to th Aefauver Commit ee, of JOE

' with ADONIS and ABE REIES, ALBERT formed Murder,
Ino., the famous racket syndicate that slew sixty-three menin the New York area between 1931 and l9h0. RELES later
testified that ALBEET was the fingerman and ordered all of the
killings.
In 1939 PETER PANTO, the longshoreman who
organized a rank-and-file revolt to rid the union of racketeerswas strangled and his body was buried in a lime pit. RELES,
accused of several other murders, told all to save his life.
He implicated the subject in this and thirty more murders.
Then RELES plunged to his death from his room in the HalfMoon Hotel in Coney Island in l9hl and WILLIAM O'DHYER, thenBrooklyn District Attorney, said his "perfect case" against
ANASTASIA had collapsed.

he was discharged. His activity in Murder, Inc. left bodiesall over America and after the ibrmation of the syndicate
underwQ~ld law decreed they could not murder without his

0'DEYER's failure to prosecute ANASTASIA while O'DHYERwas Brooklyn District Attorney. Allegations were made by _Republican mayor candidate EDHARD CORSI that 0'DWYERand the Brooklyn Prosecutor's Office were guilty of grosslaxity, inefficiency and mal-administration in a failure
to prosecute the subject.
Further allegations were made where ANASTASIAspolice wanted card was removed from police file on May.h,l9h2. 'It is to be further ndzed that BENE *B§RI,a long time associate of the subject and fbrier officialof the Sancor Corporation, is currently co ined in New York

Farmer Mayor WILLIAM O'DHYER gave testimony
in the 6th hearing of the Senate Crime Investigating Committee
at United States Courthouse, Fbleyisquare, concerning his
reasons for not prosecuting ALBERT AHASTASIA. These reasons
all center asout the fact that RELES was the main State
witness against ALASTASIA and as a result of his, RELES',death the indictment was dismissed. I I "
According to B.B. TUHKOS, RELES, Murder, Inc.
inforsant, stated prior to his death at the Half Moon Hotel,
that ALBERT AHASTASIA was the boss of Murder, Inc. and that
no murder could be committed without ALBERT ANASTASIA's
permission.

York Ci y Chime Commission racket investigation on December
17, 1952 that in the gang murder of longshoreman PETER PANTO,

and a review of testimony reflects that the subject furnished
only negative information. An example of the fact of
negative information_may be seen in the subject's testimony
before the New_York State Crime Commission where he was
accompanied by Counsel JAMES A. MAJOR, Zhl Main Street,
Hacksensack, New Jersey. ,
MAJOR immediately requested that he make a
snort statemet for record with the permission of the Com-
mission. The following is an exact quote from Mr. MAJOR's
statement: I
"Mr. ANASTASIA at present is named defendant
in suit instituted by the United States Attorney for the
District of New Jersey for the purpose of denaturalizing '
him and deporting him from the United States to Italy. He
has been called as a witness before the Bergen Grand Jury
which was investigating the death of WILLIAM MORETTI which
took place in Bergen County. He is also under investigation
by the United States Treasury Department, we believe in
connection with the Internal Revenue Act. V .
"This morning's "Times" indicates there has
been some suggestion that Mr.ANASTASIA might be involved in
a killing which took place in l9h0. For that reason we
have advised Mr. ANASTASIA that it is within his right to
decline to answer any questions which might tend to incriminate
him."
From this point on the subyzct refused to
answer many questions concerning his associates, income,
background, etc. Concerning ANASTASIA's connection with
WILLIAM MORETTI the following is reported:
According to an article appearing in the
"Brooklyn Eagle" on October 5, 1951, MORETTI met his death
typical gangster style at a restaurant, Cliffside Park,
New Jersey. The article indicated that four men had been
waiting in'the restaurant and one had gone outside to look
around just before EORETTI appeared. A moment later
shots rang out and MORETTI was found dead on.the floor. There

October 9, 1951, reflects that on October 8, 1951 ILLIAMMORETTI was buried in St. Michael's Cemetary at Lodi,
New Jersey. The article described the funeral as a
typical gangster type in that floral tributes had comefrom FRANK COSTELLO, JOE ADONIS, ALBERT ANASTASIA andVITO GENOVESE; however, none of the individuals attendedthe funeral itself. 1
