The battle for the waterfront between Ioele and the Irish White Hand, led first by Wild Bill Lovett, then Pegleg Lonergan, raged through much of Carroll Gardens and downtown Brooklyn. The Adonis Club massacre occurred near the intersection of 20th St and 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn, when Ioele, with Snarky Capone's help, took out Lonergan and wrested control of the Brooklyn waterfront away from the Irish. In 2005, My old man and I took a ride over to Borough Park where Ioele was gunned down in his bullet proof limo with non bullet proof glass. Another interesting character is Ioele's main enforcer, Two Knife Willie Altieri, who fades away into history after Ioele's demise.
