Ha Ha you're right! concerning Big Jim Martin, Very good. Cerone even complained that the shelling he used was old stuff. Do you think that Cerone was a goofy guy?

Pat Manno was a made guy on the South Side. You may be right about him being direct with Ricca/Accardo from years ago. Either that or he belonged to Frank LaPorte. Theres some info that back in the 60's on the south side of Chicago,Lawrence Wakefield was a big player in the policy rackets,but he was a that much of a low profile guy that the outfit didnt know about his wealth

Jackie cerone was most certainly no goof. He was a prolific gangster that dominated elmwood park for many years. He was just a prick/tyrant Yeah your right,maybe i used the worng word.

Cerone was a cheapskate and not very popular with his own men. He was basically a Cheap Prick. However, He was a very smart Gangster. Aligned himself with Accardo, Became Boss of Elmwood Park and then became basically Co-Boss of the Entire Outfit.
Was also smart enough to survive Giancana who didn't like him at all and wanted to kill him. Accardo saved Jack many times. Cerone was very good in running gambling. No, he was an asshole, but a very smart Mafioso. I have to give the Devil his due.

On more additional note, I read that Mickey Cogwell was the last big policy runner before he was killed. I don't doubt that cogwell operated policy but his murder wasn't outfit related Cogwell and the Blackstone Rangers(i think) with the backing of the Chicago Outfit,controlled policy racket in the black community
