Thanks @NYM and also good idea.
Its still some type of "mystery" on who was Charles, Sam and Joe's Inglesia's capo, meaning whether it was Buccieri or Daddono or if they first served Daddono and later ended up under Buccieri, still all three brothers were crucial members during the Outfit's "golden era". On the other hand, Chuck English once allegedly received the "ok" from Giancana to talk to the feds and to give them some general info and also possibly fake one, but still many Outfit members became mad at the time especially Murray Humphreys and Frank Ferraro. Btw, Joe Inglesia aka English was one time Outfit rep in AZ.
Also, NY Gambino associate and informant Dominick Montiglio once completely lost his credibility by posting a pic from English's bullet riddled face while stating that it was a pic from Roy Demeo's autopsy lol lol

I knew he had a brother Sam English, but didn't know he had a third brother, Joe. Yup, Joe English was associated with one Leonard Russo and story goes that they both were in charge of some rackets in Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff AZ; until his brothers arrived. In fact, later Sam English, who in turn was allegedly the most brutal of all three brothers, bought several ranches around AZ which were often available for many Hollywood stars and also for mob meetings and whenever the reporters visited his ranches, Sam usually appeared in cowboy outfit lol. William Kaiser was a robber and also a vending machine operator from Phoenix who was closely associated with Joe English and they also operated a prostitution ring that was fronted as an escort service in that same city.

More good info. I'll be using some of this as "location" data to expand the article. As you saw when you read it, I'm limiting each locale to a few names, but we'll list locations

I've always believed Jackie Cerone had him hit before he went away. Why do you suspect Cerone to have been the one? I think Cerone was treated poorly by Taylor St guys, especially when Giancana was calling the shots. Giancana had little respect for Cerone, and neither did many of Giancana's men he came up with. By '85, English was one of the last remaining Taylor st/Giancana guys, and I think Cerone had him hit before he went off to jail for the Strawman case. Just an opinion I have!

I know you have always maintained that the dislike Giancana had for Cerone was/is exaggerated. I don't know if you're wrong or right. Based on those transcripts, I don't really get a feel either way, as neither guy seems to be expressing any kind of emotion towards the other. Just seems like two guys talking. My opinion comes from Fosco and Mags podcast they used to do on American News Post where they would often claim Giancana and the Taylor St boys thought Cerone was soft and didn't do his own "work." Now, I think both of those guys have axes to grind with certain members of the Outfit (Difronzo brothers, Fratto, and Cerone's kid). Maybe that's just a bad rumor that was passed down? I don't know. I just always assumed there was some truth there. I could be wrong on this, but I believe Accardo pushed very hard to make Cerone UB after Ferraro died, and Giancana was having none of that. Fun discussion either way!

Yes, back in the days more than few myths regarding the Outfit were circling around at the American News Post site, meaning some posters were placing unconfirmed info as facts, followed by Foscos personal hatred towards some Outfit guys (as you already stated), something which makes some of his statements quite doubtful. Cerone was with the Outfit since the 1930s and I think that he was more of a hitter than a businessman. He together with his two cousins Skippy and James did a lot of work for the Outfit during the old days. In fact, Skippy survived an assassination attempt during the second conflict from the 1940s i think, meaning the so-called Cerone "clan" was quite ruthless.

Cerone's other relative Anthony Cerone was the one who allegedly introduced the whole Cerone "clan" to the AFL Truck Drivers' union but was killed in 1950 by a car during a hit and run situation. Anthony Cerone Patsy Cerone Frank and Jimmy Cerone Young Jackie Cerone

In that life, if you're gonna be a street guy, then you're not supposed to even give up a dog. Nobody! Thats the unwritten "code of the street." You're not supposed to cooperate with the courts or any law enforcement authority in any way, shape or form.
So, in essence, that fact that he gave up information, and later, even got up on the stand, swore an oath, and then testified, shows one thing. He ratted!

You're completely right and this is just another example in which we can again witness the old "Americanized" group that obviously didnt care much about the old rules.

I won't make a blanket statement like that for everyone, because there were many guys, the overwhelming majority, in fact, who stood up. But like the old saying goes, if you got a 1000 guys, and only 5 go bad, well, thats still 5 too many, right? And those 5 guys, those 5 bad apples, stick out like sore thumbs...while the other 995 go unnoticed because they're only doing what's expected of them. They almost become "uneventful" in a sense.

I dont know much regarding the rest of the families, but during the old days the Outfit obviously had more than few rats and CI's in their ranks, and most of em were never discovered by their peers.

Sorry, but these guys would drop a dime on each other as regularly as they sipped espresso. Chicago was not Italy - these guys were smart and ruthless and would play and earn any way they could. They often had cops raid rackets of other crews to fuck them over or take them over.
