Turnbull,

It's ironic in the extreme that Dewey was the one who sent Luciano to prison, given that Lucky thwarted Schultz's plan to kill him. Right after WWII ended, Luciano wrote then Governor Dewey a letter asking for clemency (which was granted, of course, although he had to leave the U.S.) as a reward for assistance during WWII, including help on the waterfront against espionage and with the invasion of Sicily. He might also have mentioned that he saved his (Dewey's) life!
