I believe Smokes Aloisio was with Sam Battaglia making him Taylor St. He was boss of the old 34rth Ward.
Cortina, Angelini and Ansani were all original Taylor St men. AFTER the changing of the guard, they became Cicero men under Ferriola with Auippa.
What I listed was the Crew BEFORE the Changing of the Guard.

Great list a lot of the big timer here.
From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Yes. Each made guy had a crew of associates who worked under him full time. Sometimes in Chicago they were refered to as soldiers, but usually they were just refered to as 'His guys'
The made guy would be with his guys and then he would be with his Boss and the other made guys. The made guys would come around with some of the guys working under them also. The Boss of the crew would be aware of the Guys working under the made guys because that's where the advancement would come into play at the right time.
The soldier/associates would be kept at a friendly arm's length. In other words, there were not privy to all the things a made was privy to for security reasons.
A soldier/associate's power pretty much began and ended with made guy for whom he worked.

The Taylor St. men were either with Fiore Bucciere (West Side), Sam Battaglia (West Suburbs) or were directly with Giancana/Ricca.
All the other crews were partnered in one way or another with Taylor St. There was no official Underboss of the Outfit during this reign.
The 3 Top Men were: Ricca, Accardo, Giancana.
If anything, You could say Battaglia & Bucciere were Giancana's underbosses. When Giancana wasn't available, and Ricca or Accardo were unavailable, other Crew Bosses would take some direction from Battaglia or Bucciere, in particular, Battaglia.
If it was more of a political concern, direction was given by Murray Humphreys, Boss of the Non-Italian faction and a very smart well respected Man.

In general, do you know who the actual underbosses were? Several older inside sources say that Giancana was Accardo's underboss for a few years before Accardo retired and Giancana replaced him. The FBI has Ferraro then Battaglia as Mooney's underbosses, but you, Fosco and others say that he had no underboss. Later, when Aiuppa was the boss it is usually reported that Cerone was his underboss. There are a lot of gaps to fill.
Then the FBI says that the consiglieri are actually the top bosses, the CEOs, like Ricca, who was in this position until he died in 1972. But a real consigliere is a position elected by the members to represent their interests and who they go to in case of a problem if they can't solve it with their capo. The consigliere is often the one does the ceremonies, although in Chicago there was no ceremony while Ricca was alive. So I consider Ricca more like a chairman and I have to wonder if Chicago ever had a real consigliere.

Faithful1, If we were to assign Titles, Ricca and Accardo would be Senior Advisors. But I guarantee you Ricca or Accardo never referred to themselves with any kind of Title. LOL But, for practical purposes, if you want to define their ROLES in the Outfit, They were Senior Advisors. The former two Top Bosses who semi-retired. It's just that simple.
Underbosses. In Chicago they call this man the #2. Okay, here we go:
Follow me! When Ricca was the Top boss of the Outfit, Accardo was the #2. Taylor St & Grand Ave (Which later became Elmwood Park because they moved further west.)
When Ricca went to jail, Accardo was the 'Acting Boss' temporarily because Ricca was gone for a bit. It would be like an Executive Vice President of a big Company acting as President temporarily while the real President is gone.
Giancana, Ricca's PERSONAL UNDERBOSS in the Taylor St Crew now stepped up and became 'Acting Boss' of Taylor St (because Ricca was temporarily gone) and 'Acting #2' of the entire Outfit.
When Ricca came home, things went back to the original way until RICCA & ACCARDO BOTH semi-retired. Then Giancana became Boss of Taylor St and Top Boss for Good. Ricca & Accardo were his Senior Advisors. Accardo WANTED Cerone (who now officially became Boss of Elmwood Park), to be Giancana's full partner and the #2 over the entire Outfit. Giancana REFUSED. Get it? That's what started the riff. Giancana didn't want to share power with Cerone. He was aready sharing it with Ricca AND Accardo.
When Giancana left, Battaglia became Boss of Taylor St and Top Boss of the Outfit. STILL THERE WAS NOONE #2.
When Battaglia was gone, Alderisio stepped up and became Boss of Taylor St and Top Boss of the Outfit. (Bucciere wasn't feeling 100%) STILL THERE WAS NOONE #2.
CHANGING OF THE GUARD:
Auippa became the Top Boss of the Outfit. Cicero now became the Dominent Crew with the demise of Taylor St from jail and attrition. There was some reorganization. Cerone became the #2. (Elmwood Park sub-dominant Crew) Ricca and Accardo were still the Senior Advisors until Ricca died in 1972. Then it was only Accardo.
Don't make me explain this again. Cut and paste it! LOL!!

I thought DeStefano was never made? Chicago has answered that like 12 times lol. Yes he was made. Well why does all he information available say he wasn't. Surely the Feds would have known if he was made. You're from England. Can t get everything from the internet and feds.

With the changing of the guard, who forced this issue? Did Accardo broach the subject with Cicero? Did Cicero force the issue with Accardo? Also, when a crew changed it's home base, part of Taylor St moved to Elmwood Park, for example, why Elmwood Park? Why not another area?

Surely the Feds would have known if he was made. You're from England. Can t get everything from the internet and feds. Didn't say I could. DeStefano is well known, been documentaries on him. No crime writers have ever come out and said he was a made guy. Ill go with what Chicago OC historians say, he wasn't made.

TommyG: I have also read several outfit related books but something tells me "Chicago" is a bit more in the know compared to the likes of Bill Roemer etc.
But like they say, arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if u win u are still retarded..

Tommy Gambino, Funny name for an Englishman. You read a lot a books, do ya mate? Well, in 1964 when the Beatles came here from England, some reporters asked John Lennon " What was it like growing up in Liverpool?" Lennon replied " Oh, we're not from Liverpool, didn't you hear, We're from Hamburg. " Based upon this information that I read, I'll go with the fact that the Beatles were from Germany.

Why is that a funny username for an Englishman, this is a mafia forum, but yeah nice attempt at humour, I suspect you're very old. Just because I simply disagree with your post you try and mock me. Making that comparison is beyond stupid. The Beattles were clearly from Liverpool, there's no evidence that Sam was made.

Tommy Gambino, I'm 106 years old. You can believe that Sam DeStefano was not made if that makes you happy and I'll believe the Beatles were from Germany. Who cares? It doesn't matter to me at all.
The point, which you missed, is that DeStefano told Roemer he wasn't made AS A JOKE, just like Lennon was joking he was from Germany. Besides, all made guys in Chicago ALWAYS say they are not made, joking or not joking. Why would they say they were made? What would they gain from it except a stiffer jail sentence? Lombardo said he was not made in A NEWSPAPER AD HE PLACED.
My father KNEW Sammy DeStefano. They were both with Ricca and Giancana direct.
Believe whatever you want to make yourself happy. I was only joking with you to make a point. No problem from me at all.
