Together with four others, Patsy Corbi (b 1895) was convicted in 1923 for the murder of Frank Naples. Patsy was given life imprisonment (but paroled in 1932) while the others "are doomed to hang" according to Syracuse Journal from Apr 21, 1923. At the time, Naples was described as a barber, but later as a rival in the extortion business.
Found some interesting info today while trolling for some more info about the Corbi bros. Apparantly, all this action took place in Fairmont/Clarksburg, West Viriginia area. From what I gather, there was a Black Hand organization there colloquially called the Familia Vagabonda to which the Corbi bros. where involved in a internecine conflict amongst the group. Which Frank Naples was a part of. And looks like the went to Baltimore in chase of a surviving victim from what appears in the newspaper article.

Towards the end of the article, the info aligns with the Marion Historical org. With name mispellings typical of the era.
