Sam was so crazy he once, as punishment to his wife, went to the south side and kidnapped some random black dude, took him back to his house by gunpoint, and forced him and his wife to sleep together.

He also had a sound-proof room in his basement for the express purpose of torturing people.

Finally he got so out of control they sent his onetime protege Tony Spilotro and someone else, I forget who, to knock him down. If memory serves Tony shot him with a shotgun in his driveway, first ripping off his arm, then blasted him again, finishing him off.

There is a book on DeStefano called "A Mob of His Own." Ha... never read it but always liked the title.

His nephew still owns a fairly popular bar down on Rush Street, actually one of the only old school "joints" like that left down there.
