A quick consultation with Professor Google confirms the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' data that Mr. Scaglia did in fact give up the ghost on 5/6. The reference being: Organized Crime: 25 Years after Valachi. For whatever that is worth.

According to the...Bad day to be a Colorado mobster. According to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, on this date in 1922, Colorado Mafioso Pellegrino Scaglia was shot to death. The subcommittee reported that killing of Scaglia caused "such a crisis in the Colorado and Kansas City Families that a 'general assembly' of LCN leaders had to be called in New York to resolve the dispute." (Pellegrino Scaglia narrowly avoided being stabbed to death at St. Louis in 1910. He was arrested in that city the following year when New York wanted him in connection with a murder. Guy really got around.)Thomas Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562045051995673935noreply@blogger.com
