If they refused(not likely)or failed the test,Willie would torture and murder them on the spot. Willie Moretti was said to have enjoyed getting men on their knees and making them beg for their lives before killing them.On the New York side ,Albert Anastasia loved to have victims tortured for hours before being killed,and enjoyed having his men describe the particular tortures,the parts of the anatomy involved,and the volume of screams that were elicited. As a hobby,he would participate personally whenever possible. Neil Dellacroce supposedly liked to peer into his victims eyes and relish the horror as he described the way in which the victim would die. First he would shoot the knees to cause great pain,then a shot in the stomach as he described to the victim the agonizing path of the bullet ripping through the intestines. Then,if he was in a good mood,a final shot in the face.It was said that Neil liked to gaze into his victims eyes at the moment of death.



I read before about the first torturing, but what is source for Albert Anastasia having guys having guys tortured, and then having it described to him by those who carried it out? Same question on Dellacroce, who would know if he looked into people's eyes when killing them?
