""' Warden SANFORD advised that he had no information uhat- '. 'I soever regarding the granting of paroles to the subjects,and the prison
é authorities merely state the facts in their reports without making any ' _
* recommendations as to whether a prisoner should or should not be paroled. j*
He recalled that CAKPAGNA, D'ANDREA, and DE LUCIA were very talkative ,aL
and were continually bragging about their exploits to the other prieoners.'.UT§{ 1;He recalled GIOE as a tough, quiet, ruthless individual, but ROSELLI neveri{LE;*'"i
had very much to says Through one of his informants among the inmates *P" "I '
he learned that CAEPAGNA, DE LUCIA, and D'ANDREA had stated they had .' ¢r~ ' '
$10,000 to arrange their transfer to Leavenworth and were bragging about ~-O1
their ability to effect the transfer.
Mr. SANFORD stated he did not make any notes concerning
the above infonmation, and therefore did not recall the name of the inmate -_
who had given him this information nor whether the subjects had made these* _*
statements in the informant's presence or someone else had told him about
it. According to Mr. SANFORD, there was no indication that this money 1 *"
would be paid to government officials but rather to attorneys. He gr, ggi
explained that frequently an inmate will pay a large sum of money to somei-s"= I-
attorney to arrange a transfer or effect another favor of some sort. The §,;
attorney will then get in touch with a United States Congressman who calls
the Bureau of Prisons requesting the particular favor and pushes the - ,
request to such an extent that the favor is frequently granted. The : ,
attorney will then report back to the inmate that he had a hard fight in ' - '
his behalf but finally succeeded, when in reality the favor was effected_by1Ti 5,,
the Congressman. * 1' 5* 5T1

Hr. SANFORD further recalled, by referring to the file of_' Y7 *
. GAMPAGNA, that he had written a letter dated July 21, 1945, mentioned J; . ,§;j'
in referenced letter. In response to a teletype from Mr. LOVELAND, - ~ qia Q.Assistant Director of the Bureau of Prisons, dated July 18, 1945, this §f. .
teletype stated No doubt ur. ant:-Jere has discussed with you the
advisability of transferring DE LUCIA and CAMPAGA to Leavenworth. ;g
Warden mmrsa states n1cK'_cmcn.LA says no m feeling exists between him * t -
and these men. Also a request has been made for the transfer of PHILIP T
D'ANDREA to Leavenworth to be near hme. Please advise is transfer {{
recommended". ;;a
_- Mr. SANFORD informed that he had written the Bureau of _ -
§ Prisons that he did not think itwadvisable to transfer these man at that x 4 Qft=
_, time because of the rumors floating about that they were spening money t9_n,ivfE' effect a transfer. He further recommended that if these pztsoners nere':§ §1iT§3§;*1, transferred they should be transported by bus and not on t train ,"T;333ifi

that D*ANDREA, DE LUCIA, CAMPAGNA and GIOE be transferred, and this was @¢Tw='s§|,Q

done by bus on July 28, 1945. He thought they probably all were transferred .
at the same time since a bus was being used and four could be transported
as cheaply as one. He added that constant pressure had been exerted by
friends and attorneys of these prisoners to effect their transfer from
the time of their arrival in Atlanta. The chief argument in this regard
was that they wanted to be nearer home so their families could visit them
more often with less travel and expense. q 1 L92_,'
a He recalled that A. BRADLEY BEEN, referred to in '" -
referenced letter as ABE BRADLEY, came to the prison on two or three .
occasions to see the above named inmates. The first time he came he had
not previously communicated with theprison requesting an interview but
just "barged in" one day requesting to see all five prisoners together.
This request was not granted and Mr. SANFORD advised him that, according
to prison regulations, it would be necessary that he qualify as an attorney
for the inmates by corresponding with the prison ahead of time and giving
them a chance to make a check regarding his status. EBEN became indignant
but nevertheless was denied the visit. On a later occasion he again cameI

.i»3~-4P».-to the prison demanding to see ROSELLI. He stated he was ROSELLI's attorney t -
and the latter had requested to see him. In this instance he had not
communicated with the prison in advance and Warden SANFORD had a heated dis-
cussion with him, but finally agreed to allow him a visit. He thereupon
called ROSELLI to his office and asked ROSELLI if he had retained EBEN as
his attorney; he said no he had not and did not even know him. ROSELLI was
asked by the Harden if he wanted to retain Emior had anything to say to
him and ROSELLI again answered no. sen: then said that mm sent him, -
meaning BEHNICE FRANK, ROSELLI's girl friend from Beverly Hills, California. esters
Mr. SANFORD then dismissed ROSELLI and EEEN again became very indignant.,
Mr. SANFORD described EBEN as a Jewish lawyer from Chicago
who dressed in a "zoot-suit" fashioned with a wide shouldered cut and
especially tailored clothes. He did not know anything about his background
but felt that he was a hoodlum lawyer. There was no record of his address
in the prison files.
r
Hr. SANFORD also recalled that WIHL7SCOTT had talked with
these inmates on different occasions but he did not recall anything unusual
about SCOTT's visits. He stated he had no information concerning this
matter other than that which had been published in New York newspapers,
and was rather surprised himselfthat they were paroled so near theirminimum eligibility date. He stated that DE LUCIA, D'ANDR$: and . %,
GAMPAGNA had caused disturbances among the prison populati and becauee,P;, ,
of infractions of prison regulations authorities in Atlantq'had taken .-Q;

1"one hundred and fifty days good time from DE LUCIA and appkoximately
the same amount from GAMPAGNA, As far as his records reflected, this
good time had not been restored when they left Atlanta.
It was suggested that the Chicago Office locate and
interview Attorney A. BRADLEY EBEN in line with the request contained in-
referenced letter. ,- ;
Warden SANFOD telephonically contacted this office on .
October 3, l9L7, and advised that after a further check of the files on
these subjects he wished to correct the statement concerning good time
which had been taken from them. He stated that because of certain infrac-
tions of rules they were brought before the disciplinary board but no
action was taken to take their good time away. He noted that the report
in this regard was not signed by either committee members or himself, and
therefore it was not in effect when they left Atlanta. _~
Two teletypes were received from the Washington Field _ __
Office under date of September 29, 1947, requesting that it be ascertained H
if detainers were filed against the subjects while incarcerated in the'
United States Penitentiary at Atlanta, and also that contact be made withi
local immigration representatives to ascertain the purpose of their visit
to the subjects while in Atlanta. In this connection, as previously 92
stated, only a skeleton file concerning these subjects is maintained at
Atlanta, and there was no record concerning any detainers having been @>'-
filed against them while at this institution. It was eta "d that informs-tion concerning the detainers would be at Leavenworth. _ én, 7,,
Inquiry was also made of Hr. BERNER, local investigator ;
for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and he advised that
according to his records D'ANDREA, ROSELLI, CAMPLGNA, and DE LUCIA were
interviewed in order to verify their citizenship. The parents of these
individuals were born in Italy, but only DE LUCIA was foreign born. Mr.
BEHNER infonmed that the Immigration and Naturalization Service has an
agreement with the United States Penitentiary whereby he hill be notifie
in the event any prisoners of foreign birth or with parents of foreign
birth are received. When this notification is furnished to Immigration and
Naturalization Service arrangements are made to interview the prisoners in
an attempt to verify their citizenship. _

Warden JOSEPH H. SANFORD advised that D'ANDREA, DE LUCIA, and -
CAEPAGNA were continually bragging and throwing their weight around, w
caused the other prisoners to look up to them and try to imitate their .
actions, thereby tending to lower prison morale. He explained
that these individuals were former gang leaders and because of
publicity some of the prisoners thought anything they said was
informed that D'ANDREA had three disciplinary reports, namely,
to have an inmate in the prison laboratory return a positive r
showing sugar in
Hay 27, 19th; on

He told the officer he was, because of his physical condition, _lQ;}i v' I 3unable to do this type of work. He was placed in punitive segregation
for this latter offense and was in this status when transferred from Atlanta.f' 7
As to the statement in referenced report to the effect that constant
pressure had been exerted by friends and attorneys of these prisoners to
effect their transfer from the time of their arrival in Atlanta, Warden i
SANFORD advised that the pressure he had reference to was exerted by theeprisoners themselves when being interviewed by officers at the Penitentier;§Y92¬¬:'
He explained that on every occasion when they talked with any of the_prison
officers they requested to be transferred to Leavenworth so as to be near
their people and their people could visit them often without too much '
expense. He stated these prisoners had no friends visiting them except 1
close relatives, and as far as he knew none of the visiting relatives had
brought any pressure to have them transferred._,He related that only two3 1-

him that BEEN was bringing pressure to have the prisoners transferred from JaQ YAtlanta to Leavenworth. However, he did not know specifically what sort ._ i;

On September 27, 1947, HARRY A. ASH, Superintendent of Crime Prevention, 1':- Department of Public Safety, State of Illinois, 160 North LaSalle Street, H p. PChicago, Illinois, was interviewed and advised that he had kncnm the subject
- GIOE since approximately 1915. ASH said that he first became acquainted with jP;*_"- lI
GIOE at the time GIOE was livirg in the ward over which mm ERICCSON has e
the boss. ASH stated that he also resided in this ward. After this original con- i;-j:
tact with GIOE, ASH stated that he did not see or hear of GIOE again until .approicimately 1940, at which time ASH moved to the Seneca Hotel, 220 East 1 , S"Chestnut Street, Chicago, Illinois. ASH said at this time GIOE was living in l 1- p
the Seneca Hotel and was operating a baseball book on a commission basis. . __..
According to ASH, SIDNEY KORSHAK, an attorney, also resided in ths_Senece lg, _,. at this time. - : :' m. |:-- ' -¢--- - '4
In l9-4'7, ASH stated that SIDNEY KORSHAK requested him to write a letter to" h"-f;"rt_ 5 "t the parole authorities, which letter was to be of a general character referenceéij ',
- nature. ASH said that he told KORSHAK he was not sure he wished to write'such;f {T '
e letter because of his position with the Crime Prevention Department. " KORSHAKQ3
according to ASH, stated he did not believe ASH could be adversely affected k.by such a letter inasmuch as a very high church dignitary was also backing - 53'
. GIOE and the connection of ASH's name with this high church dignitary would
accrue to ASH's benefit instead oi to his detriment. ASH stated that this ~
high church dignitary was Bishop SHIETL of Chicago. This letter which ASH _ _»wrote was not mailed by ASH but was given to KORSHAK and presumably KORSHAK S ~' ;>I'""_-"
- mailed this letter inasmuch as ASH stated that he received an acknowledgment-
to a letter written by himself in May, 1947. ' ' jL , ,_.é-?::|
At a later date, ASH recieved a letter with certain enclosures from the parolej ,§5,,j-'*-authorities, this letter being to the effect that GIOE had requested ASH to
be his parole supervisor. Certain forms were enclosed with this letter which
were to be executed if ASH would acquiesce to the request of GIOE, and ASH . -
did fill out these forms and mailed them to the parole authorities. Along _.
with the mailing of these forms, ASH forwarded a letter stating that he had
noticed that an attorney could not act as a parole supervisor and that he
would be happy to act as a parole supervisor if the Government saw fit to , , _,
- waive this rule. According to ASH, he has never received an acknowledgment ~-ed :__=
of this letter plus the forms which he returned to the parole authorities and that
he has never acted as parole supervisor for GIOE because of,the fact that he fit, ',j_' ~
has not been officially informed that he is e parole superv sor to GIOE.
ASH stated that a probation officer by the name of eowsmo telephonically ,j-,1-'_.:___-_ - contacted him and stated that GIOE was to be released, and fter ASH had asked ¢.f,aYT.?_,', _ - _ _ 92 _.-. ¢"..;, 92. _ .., ,

ASH then contacted Bishop SHIEL=s secretary, who told ASH that if Bishop l .1
SHIlJL's name were mentioned in connection with the paroles, a suit for libel
would be instituted and that if Bishop SHIEL were questioned as to any backing , 1
of GIOE that he would emphatically deny it. ASH stated that KORSHLK told1hi.m;_é£. '

BUTLER advised that he has known GIOE for the past ten years, and that during ,5, _
that time -105 has been a customer of his at various intervals-" BUTLER advised'_"Y~
that he knew very little oi the criminal background of G10}; other than what ',__1q'f[_p 1,;he had read in the newspapers with reference to GIOE's incarceration on the ' l
charge of extortion. srrtrn further advised that one SID KORSHAK; an aW>rn@Y»~5-&-¢~- 1,
approached him on behalf of GIOE during April or 1.58,!? of 1947, and requested {T ." "
BUTLEIR to write a. letter to the Parole Board, which he did. BUTLER advised '
that he saw no harm in his writing, and advised agent that he had written - ~;
approximately twenty times previous to this one for paroles of various x
individuals and that this one was the first one "that blew up". L V- 1
I I,, 4.,- 92..BUTL:sI-I further advised that he had received no ccnnpensation of any sort92.f.or- v

letter, and knew of no person or persons who had received compensation or-. "92_'*§#,_e'.g;'-;-,_
were coerced with reference to any of the subjects paroled. BUTLER further L T ' 1w Yadvised that in all probability if he is again approached for the purpose oi; ;1f;:s-,_'
writing a letter on a person coming up for parole, he would probably do the - 1*same thing over again, being of the opinion that he did not think that he wasinterfering with the law in so doing. BUTLER concluded by stating that he. t
