JACK SUSSMAN on reinterview advised he had no 1-mowled»g,e"as"'tohow his '
sister s name could. have appeared as having put up any sum of money for
the bonds of subject paroleee. Mr. SUbS.LAN stated that he was responsible
for $50, 000.00 of the money that was put up for the bonds of these individuals.
He states that $25, 000.00 of this money was money that he had personally
raised to put up and $25,000.00 of the money was given him by PAUL RICCA.Of the $25,000._£Q_,he raised himself, {$10, 000.00 was money borrowed from his
partner JOSEPH,'SABET and $5, 000.00 was borrowed from his brother l.£AT'I_,13U5§P-IAN
Mr. SUSSMAN states that as far as he can recall he took this money with him
to the Commissioner's hearihg at the-time subject parolees were held for
the Grand Jury. He then went either to the office of the Clerk oi the Court
or the United States Marshal where he deposited the money for the purpose of
the bond. He later received this money back from the Clerk of the Court
according to his present recollection. He does not recall whether he

PHIL DMNDREA was a past president. Mr. GJLRAFOLA stated that both he and

states that the money was his own property and was not borrowed by him
or given to him by any third person. He states that he would not put up
this money for such a bond again that having put up the money caused him
a great deal of difficulty, he having been summoned to appear before
Treasury Department Agents to explain the source of the money and other

Mr. GARAFOLA stated that this was his own money although he did understand
that subject parolees had given sums of money to other persons to be put
up for their bond. This money had been kept by him in a safety deposit box
and he withdrew the money from that source and paid it to some bonding company,
he believes by a certified check. He thinks he took this money to the
American Casualty Company, which was the bonding agent for subject parolees
but he is not sure of this name. When the bond.was withdrawn he received
his $5,000.00 back by a check from the bonding company. He says that he ~
I j made no profit on this transaction and that he has not put up any other
money for any other purpose in connection with the activities of subject
' ' parolees. :He paid no money to Attorney BERNSTEIN and knows nothing about_ _
the source of the money received by BEMNSTEIN to be used on behalf of e
subject parolees. He advises that he has not heard of anyone having been
asked to pay for the back income taxes of subject parolees or to contribute
money to procure the paroles of subject parolees. He advised he could give
absolutely no other information concerning this matter.I

against LOUIS CALPAGNA. He States that he did not receive any promissory
note or receipt for this money but that he expects that sooner or later
it will be paid back to him. Mr. HEEHEY admitted that he has heard that
other persons contributed to this fund end estimated that eight or ten
efr-other persons in the Cicero and Chicago, Illinois, area gave money for
this purpose. He declined to name any of these persons saying that thee collection of this money had been handled by his partner CORNGOLD and ' I.
that_CORNGOLD would be the proper person to contact for this information.
He expressed the belief that if so contacted CORNGOLD would willingly
furnish the requested information. When questioned as to how this "E
collection started he stated that he believed that either Mrs. CAMRAGNA
contacted JOE CORNGOLD or JOE CORNGOLD contacted Mrs. CAMPAGNA. On
further reflection he stated that es he recalled JOE GOHNGOLD heard that
; _ Hrs.~CAMPAGNA needed money for this purpose and contacted her regarding it.
' CORNGOLD thereafter took up a collection of money for the purpose of
paying the back income taxes of CAMPAGNA. Mr. HEEIIEY denied that any

expressed the belief that the contributions to this fund were all voluntary.
No signed statement was procured from Mr. HEENEY due to the fact that he _
is presently recuperating from a very serious operation and a broken hip.
His doctor, Dr. LAIBE, of Chicago, Illinois, has advised that Mr. HEENEYs

the money was paid to him but stated it was sometime after RALPH PTERCE was
aquited, He was not certain as to whether he received repayment in cash
or in a check. He stated he received no Profit for having furnished the
money. His reason for posting the bond was because RALPH PIERCE was a

yrs. BATTAGLIA stated'that her husband had died February 7, l9h6, at the age
of fifty, of natural causes, a heart condition. She stated that her name was
hrs. MARY BATTAGLIA and that she was not acquainted with the fact that her i'
husband had posted a bond in the amount of $5,000 in instant case. She stated
that she had read in the papers about the parole of the Subjects and that if
her husband had posted the bond, it was very likely or PHILIP D'ANDHEA whom,
the papers stated, resided in Chicago Heights, Illinois, where her husband
operated a wholesale fruit and produce company. Mrs. MARY BATTAGLIA stated
that she had access to the accounts of her husband's business and to his per-
sonal accounts aud is certain that the $5,000 was not withdrawn from the per-
" sonal account which was maintained at the Citizens National Bank of Chicago
wju Heights, Illinois. She stated, however, that her husband could have with-
"¢"' drawn this money from his business account as she did not audit or keep
-,M:J,. books of the business and had no occasion to check his accounts as she fully
? 'trusted him. '
Mrs. MARY EATTAGLIA stated that she was not acquainted with any of the Sub-
jects in instant case and could give no reason why her husband would post a
$5,000 bond. She suggested that perhaps her husband's uncle, Mr. SAM
BATTAGLIA, 192 Country Club Road, with whom TONY BATTNSLIA was in business,
. could fulnish some information. ' 0 - . ? ' J -
on ogtober 13, 19b7, ur. -em BATTAGLI11 was interviewed at his home, 192
= i l Country Club Road. He stated that he was not acquainted with the affairs
of his nephew, TONY BATTAGLIA, as they had severed business relations
*3 , "approximately four years ago. He could furnish no reason why his nephew
e r would furnish the $5,000 bond. He further stated that he was retired from
+ the wholesale fruit and produce business. He also stated that he was not

been personally acquainted with PHILLIP DANDRmA for the past twelve years.
l D'ANDREA has spent a greater part of his time in Chicago Heights, Illinois.
. n It was strictly for personal friendship that he posted the bond and stated
"' that his refusal to post the bond would in no way affect his beer distributing
business in Chicago Heights or in Kankakee, Illinois.' He stated he is in ,
%Q5:7 no way controlled and no interest is held in his business by members of the
s . ' Chicago syndicate. '-

menp of.CAMPAGNA. When pressed for further information, PERRY stated that he
did-not wish to disclose the name of the friend nor the spot where he had
heard the funds were being collected. PERRY concluded by stating, "I think
it is better boys when you keep your mouth shut. -You don't get in trouble
and that way no one will be hurt." ' ,t .

d .4
7CODY advised that in 1945, he contributed an amount, of which he was C
rather uncertain but which he believed was possibly $10,000, to apply on the
bail bond of the Subjects. According to CODY, the money which he contributed
did not represent his funds at all but rather the mds of a client of CODY.
CODY explained that this client, whom he represented then and.whom he stillrepresents, desired to make the contribution without having his name enter i
into the matter, and it was at this client s request that CODY made the con-
,, 00- tribution in the form of cash which was furnished him by the client. Accord-
C ing to CODY, he himself delivered the $10,000 to an attorney at the latter's
office in the building at 139 North Clark Street, Chicago. CODY was unable
to advise the name of this attorney; he_was specifically asked whether it was
JOSEH BULGER but stated he could not recall if that was the name or not.
CODY advised he was aware that legal procedures were available by
means of which he might be required to divulge the name of his client re-
fefred to above, He stated, however, that because of the attorney-clientrelationship, he did not desire to discuss the matter further at this time
ortc divulge the name of the client voluntarily, and that he would reveal
hit client's name only after he has oonsulted'with the client and obtained
the latter's permission. CODY stated that his client, who is a reputable
Chicago businessmen, was presently out of the city and in Wisconsin and is
expected to return to Chicago on Monday, October 20, 1947. CODY stated that
he would, at the earliest opportunity on or before the date mentioned above,
request his client's permission to reveal his identity and that he, CODY,
would than advise the Chicago Qffice thereof.
= . Concerning his client, CODY mentioned that this individual is of
Italian nationality and remarked that he did not know how the client was
induced to contribute $10,000 unless it was by means of pressure of some 1
sort. CODY stated he had no definite knowledge of such pressure, but v
indicated he believed his client would not have made such a contribution ,absolutely voluntarily. CODY expressed the personal opinion that the induce- _wineat nay have been his client's nationality and the fact that the Italians -:-= I

J B HISCO, 707 West Harrison Street, an e Li uor A .>Company, was interviewed by Special lgent Q. xx October lb, 19147, at which time he furnished the o tion: I
tor many years, and that he also knows all oi the remaining defendants. FUSCO H r
stated that he did not post any money for bond for RICGA or any of the »
defendants, but that he did solicit funds from CHARLES LQMNTIA, PHILIP
Lli-IMNTJLA, RUDOLPH SWANSON and FRANK LRRIGO, all of whom are connected with
the La.}.iar1tia-A1rigO Company, which is engaged in the produce business. He
stated that he was unable to tell the exact amount that each contributed
because it was his recollection that they brought the money directly to the
bonding company, but that he believes the totalamolmt posted by all of the
individuals that he solicited was $50,000.00. He stated that he did not put
up aw of his own cash as he was not in a position to do so at that time,
but had he been able to, it would have been unnecessary to solicit these
other people.
FUSCO advised that he did not receive any fee or commission for his services
.i.n this regard, and does not believe that amr of the individuals whom he
solicited to contribute received any reward. FUSCO denied any knowledge of
any i-rregularitw in the manner in which the defendants obtained their recent
parole. P
Ilhen asked if he had contributed or solicited any one to contribute any
moneys to a fund for the settlement of the tax claims against any of these
defendants, he replied, "I do not care to answer any questions regarding
that matter at this time. He stated that he did not know when he would
be in a position to answer these questions, but did make the remark that
occasionally a man in his position is called upon to do things he does
not want to do but cannot very well decline to do, and that he .did not
went any publicity in this matter because of his business connections.

The following investi _;ation was cond noted by Special Agent
°1°°*1~» 1°47-
Reference is made to the report of Special Agent ate¢1. .October 6, 191,7 at Chicago, Illinois, Page 9, wh eln 1 w be noted thatb 7the Republican Committeemen for the 20th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th Wards Q
were listed-
KTILLIATI JOHN GHAIIATA, Republican Commit-tceman for the 27th Ward, maintains
an office at Room 705, 205 West hacker Drive, at which place he conducts
Commissioner's hearings for the Industrial Commission of the State of Illi -
ncis» Qn October L-L, 195?, GRANATA was inter-92.'iew%¢ At this time he stated
that he was not acquainted with any of the parolees. He stated that all he
knew about them is what he had read in the newspapers. He indicated that he
knew nothing of the manner in which the parolees had secured their paroles
and had not been contacted at any time to use his influence in assisting any
oi the parolees. He stated that it is true that he is the Republican Committee-
man for the 27th.".'.'ard but that as such he would not be in a position to be
of any material assistance to any of the parolces in a Jfederal matter. He
states he is-an attorney and has not handled over a dozen cases in his entire
career in the 'Fedr~ral Court-'5: As a result he is not too well acqilainted with
any oi; the Federal officials or the Federal Courts; Ho stated it is for this
reason that probably no one contacted him to use his influence as they knew
that he was in no position to be oi any assistance. He emphatically disclai.rr.s
using his influence to assist peroleos in any manner or for amr purpose.
GFLAIJATA stated that he rather resented being interviewed in view of the fact
that there were a number of malicious rumors circulating with respect to the
manner in which the 1946 election was handled. I-Ie stated quite emphatically
that such rumors unquestionably resulted from the "Chicago Tribune" publicity
as well as from the imagination of their reporter JAMES DOEBZRTY. In this
connection he mentioned that on election day JALHZS DO}fE1-H! came out to the
27th Ward in a two-ea!; radio car and appeared to be quite excited. GI-ULNATA
stated that DOHBRTY asked him tn get into the car with him and whomever
accompanied his-l and GP,WATa refused to do so; then told hi.-'n that
it had been rumored that they were going to do away with GRANATA or possibly
only kidnap him. GHJLNATA indicated that he could take care of himself and
suggested to DOIIUHTI that he ndght accompany him, GRANATA, around the ward. -
GRANATA appeared to be proud of his or;;anization and wanted to show DOHERT!
how his organization handled an election. DOHERTI refused to join GR.l.7'.'xTA
and stated that he had to go to other wards where there was possible "violence.
GRANATA seemed to be quite incensed at DOIIF..R'I'1"_s actions and the apparent

publicity that was received at this time and felt that the "Tribune" was
merely trying to support malicious rumors wiich
publicity; As a matter of fact, GRANATA stated
to give a "Chicago Tribune" reporter a story to
which he refused to do. He would not elaborate. _

on one occasion he was asked --
support,previous publicity,,,
on what the story was.-
understood that no terrorism
~ existed in his particular ward or any other ward to his knowledge. He stated
that there are the usual fights that occur at any election but that to his
knowledge there was no blood shed. He also pointed out the fact that there
are sixty-seven precincts in his particular ward and only six of these precinctsas-*. u
Q.
_ .1 ..-are Italian precincts. As a result there is very little difficulty experienced.
In this connection he pointed out to Agents that if.the ward was predominantly
.;.=é' Italian that he would have more headaches than he presently experiences. i "
92__,_He stated that the rmor that the Republicans had "sold out" to the Democrats '
was utterly ridiculous. He maintains that had the Republicans received twice
as many votes as they did receive they would have still lost the election
by at least 10,000 votes for every ward in that area. He states that these
wards are predominantly'Democratic wards and there is no necessity for any
- political vice, such as securing the paroles of such men as in this case, to
carryzthese wards for the Democratic Party. He states that whether these men -'
.Yl were released or not the Democrats would have still carried a sizable majority
i vote ih these wards and at no time was it ever necessary to solicit help from
the Republicans to carry that ward Democratic. GRANATA wanted to emphasize
to Agents that he knew nothing about the parolees nor the manner in which
they secured their paroles nor did he know of any alleged "pay-off" in this
matter. He stated he did know one fact are that is that as far as he was con-
cerned the parole of these_men did not effect the election returns in his
m ward, ~ .

JAMES PACELLI, 1264 West Lexington teleihnne Canal 4667, Chicago, Illinois,was interviewed by Special Agent in the Chicago Office on
October 15, 1947. He advised the 1 w s oi utor for the U. S. Brewing
Company and has been in business for himself for the past 15 years. lb
stated his place of business is 12l6 South Sangamon Street, telephone
Monroe 1191, Chicago, Illinois. He said his father formerly was Deputy U. s. Marshal. His father's name is 01-ronuo PACELLI. L -9:
.=92 .a-=:- P.--"' --he ' Y- *92
'- {Z JAMS.PLCELLI claimed that he is new in politics and received his appointment
. as Republican Ward Committeeman of tte 20th hard in the election of April,
' 1944. He stated that this job is good for four years. So far, he claims, j
he has had quite a problem in organizing the Republican Party into a smooth-
running organization. He realized that during the past election, that is, ,
' the election of November, 1946, the Republican vote decreased over previous
elections. He stated that this could be attributed to two facts: first,
the RepubliC&nS selected a poor opponent when they selected "ROOT" to run against
'-~ the present Mayor, KENNELLEY; second, he has been in office too short a time . . I
to get the organization running smoothly and, as a result, the Democrats
made considerable advance over previous elections. In addition, he said,
the Denocrats were able to give out 500 jobs against the 55 jobs available
for the Republican Party. He stated that he is devoting his efforts to
__ bettering the position of his people in the 20th Ward. ,_ V y __ g _
" PACELLI stated he had also heard rumors to the effect that the Republican _ |
Committeemen have sold out to the Democrats, which he stated was absurd. He "
3 said the Iemocrats did not need the Republican vote to win an election. So
far ashe knew, none of the Republican Comuitteemen in the Italian Wards
had sold out to the Democratic Party and he was of the opinion that they
never would. He voiced the opinion that if the Republicans had selected a
prominent man like WHIGLEY or someone of his caliber, that they could have ;
beaten the Democrats in the past election but the man selected did not compare 3
with the caliber of the present Mayor. He stated that he has been a Republican '
all of his life and, in spite of that, he has to admit the Republicans
have fallen down somewhat in selecting the proper caliber of people to
represent them. Nevertheless, he claims he is devoting every effort to better " L
the position of his people in his ward, and he said it goes without saying
that his ward has probably the greatest number of financially poor people in
' the City of Chicago. He stated that in the event the Republicans were able
to give put the same number of jobs the Democrats are able to give out
_~ -that they would have no trouble whatsoever in getting a greater Republican" * vote in that ward, ,'_.'!,fi;f"7 _@;;,§fff§2,,_ Z,§ " 1

election and that no terrorism existed in his ward or any of the Italian wards,
to his knowledge. He was inclined to hold the newspapers in contempt in that they
invariably gave considerable attention to a street brawl and made it appear
as though considerable trouble existed throughout the area. He stated that
fights are_cemon but there was no bloodshed or gun battles, to his knowledge
and,': ii_._'th__er_e furore, he claims they would fave come to his attention. _I

ACELLI was asked if in his opinion the release of the subjects in instant
case would have in any way affected the election. as scoffed at the thought
that the parole of these men would in are uey'affect the election in his ward
or any of the Italian wards. He is satisfied in his own mind that the de-
crease in the Republican vote had nothing to do with the paroles of the
subjects in this case and it was conversely true that the parole of these
did in no way increase the Democrat vote. He stated it is well known in
City of Chicago that tfm Italian wards are predominantly Democratic andl
until the situation changes and they are able to offer the people in his ward
more'jobs, the Democrats will continue to be in the majority. ~,_ -,, K e _~I .men

PACELL1 endeavored to explain how the present election system of permanent
registration has elinnxated the so-called "flying squad" and that the voters
are generally knotn by the officials at the polling place. Therefore, it
eliminates the possibility_of voting_a lot oi_people§rom gtherpprecinctskor wards. ' ' T
PACELL denied ever participating in this parole matter and claims he has
the subjects in instant cases He claims he is not acquainted with the
parolees or their families, which may in part account for the fact that he was
not approached to assist any of these men. He claims that all he knows about
the parole matter is what he has read in the newspaper. He states that as »
far'aa he is concerned, no one has even mentioned to him anything relative to -
an alleged "payoff" and again stated that if he had an knowledge relative
to a payoff, it was what he had read in the newspaper. He claims that he
is not too well known because of his short time in politics and for that reason|

55 7 an Buren Street, Chi oago, Illinois, it having been reported that
_ '_ she put up $20,000 for use as bond money for subject paroleee in 1943. It -
was determined that Mrs. SPINGOLA is BO years"old, suffered a stroke of l
paralysis last week and has cataracts on both eyes. It was also found that
Mrs. SPINGOLA speaks no English. Through her son-in-law, Dr. JOHN J. DRAMMIS,
1rho'resides with her at the above address, it was determined that Mrs.
SPINGOLA stated she cannot at this time remember anything concerning the
putting up of $20, O00 to be used as bond money for subject parolees, and
that her son, MLVAIERE SPINGOLA, who owns and operates The Drum", a bar-
room at 114 North Dearborn, Chicago, would be the proper person to give
the requested information. _ s _ ~_ , . - .v
lg, Ill "'-
i SALVATORE srmcom was interviewed by reporting Agents at which .
time he stated that his family and the family of PAUL D-eLUCIA. had lived in p
the same neighborhood for many many years, that he and the DeLUCI.A children
had been reared together and their families had always been friendly. He
stated that in 1943, when DeLUCIA was arrested, his brother-in-law, CHARLES
SPIZZIRRI, who died in June of this year, took up a collection to be used
"1 as bond money for Subject DeLUCIA. He borrowed this money from various
persons in the neighborhood whose identities were unknown to SPINGOLA. Part
of the money was put up by CAROLINE SPINGOIA and sane by SALVATGKE SPINGOLA. H
. . He stgted he himself would have turned this money over to be used as bond -
money. by the insurance ccmpany handling the matter, but that on the day
it was to be put up, he believes April 16, ,1943, he was inducted into the
U. S. Army. He, therefore, requested that his mother put up the money. She
did this, putting the entire suns up in her own name in order to insure that
when the money was paid back it would be paid to her, and she could take from
it that part which she personally had contributed, before the funds were
distributed, thus insuring the return of her money. He stated that his mother
1}. did receive the money beck but that she received no profit from this trans-
1 action and that it was done strictly on I. basis of friendship- .. ., - _,. * V»
"' SPINGOLA advised he did not know where the money was put up but -
4- believes it was with some insurance company in the loop. He does not know f V--
attorneys BERNSTEIN or BULGER. He stated that so far as he knows, neither i ' '
he nor" any member of his family contributed any money to pay for back income
e tseces of subject paroloes, nor did they contribute any money that might be _ ~'. -w r"L _ L used as a bribe to pay for the paroles of subject parclees. He was not _
