Interesting!
I guess this is from 1963ish?
Who's the "Sam" that would tell Tommy Luchesse about it?
Is it Ricca talking after the "So he says,"?
Wonder what "Bonanno has the right to ask for these 3 guys" means?
Gambino, Luchesse, and Magaddino maybe, but does "ask for" mean "hit"?
Saying Eboli should've listened to Angelo Bruno?
Listened to him about what?
Thanks Toodoped!!
No problem and you're welcome.
Yes, thats Ricca talking about Bonanno having the right to ask for the lives of 3 guys and to be honest at first I also thought about Gambino, Lucchese and Maggadino but theres one good video about it on youtube made by one researcher regarding the situation, meaning 3 guys were killed who allegedly belonged to the rival faction against Bonanno and thats why Ricca supported him regarding the 3 kills because there was a war. But Ricca was obviously worried about Bonanno not showing up at commission meeting, meaning Ricca was suspicious about it.
"Sam" is Giancana, meaning in the convo we can see that Eboli wants to give his own opinion about the Bonanno problem straight to the Outfits top boss aka Ricca, instead of going back and forth between Ricca and Giancans and other commission members like Lucchese. In fact story goes that Giancana and Lucchese were quite close and probably voted the same way. So thats why Eboli mentions "Sam" going to Tommy Brown.
As for Bruno...same as Eboli, Im not sure but I think Bruno was also one time "messenger" between commission members but I dont remember what was his opinion in this particular situation. Maybe Bruno visited Bonanno too and had some perfect opinion about him and that Eboli shouldve listened to him...who knows, I or we have to check that out
