I'll take a shot at Yale. He was the only one who didn't head the Outfit in Chicago. Nope. Not Yale. I've also taken a shot at answering your question. Don Cardi 
Don Cardi Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.

My Lucchese answer to your question was right, but for the wrong reason, huh? Hmmmm. Is it because Lucchese is the only Mob Boss out of that list that didn't inherit his position? I was thinking that earlier (about where all these guys were born) but no one answer seems right. Yale and Capone were born in Brooklyn, Torrio and Nitti in Italy. Regarding my question - Lucchese inherited his (boss) position.

Adonis was the only deportee. The answer I was looking for is Lucchese. He's the only one who didn't live in Jersey.

Regarding my question - Lucchese inherited his (boss) position. The answer that I really was looking for was Nitti. The other three came from Brooklyn at one time or another. As for Lucchese, I was under the impression that he was an original boss when the commission was established and the territories were split up. But now that you've said that, it makes me think that he inherited his postion from Terranova. Am I correct? Is that who he inherited his position from? Don Cardi
