@Toodoped - On Lupo and Morello, they ran two different crime families in New York, and Lupo had nothing to do with the infamous Murder Stable. It was writer Herbert Asbury who connected him to it. The stable was part-owned by Pasquarella Spinelli and her husband Paolo. She was murdered in 1912 and it became wholly owned by her partner Luigi Lazzazara. He was killed in 1914 and ownership went to Ippolito "Big Paul" Greco, who may have been the boss of the Morellos after Giuseppe Morello was sent to Atlanta prison and the murder of Fortunato Lo Monte. Greco was himself murdered in 1915. The story can be found here: http://www.gangrule.com/events/the-murder-stables-1909-1915 and here http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E05E3D9143CE633A25752C2A9659C946396D6CF. You can read more on Lupo, Morello and Greco in the article I cowrote with Angelo Santino and Lennert van't Riet in the newest issue of Informer http://informer-journal.blogspot.com/

@NNY78 - I may have some answers for you. It turns out there was a Calabrian Camorra group in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area (there actually may have been two groups, one in each city) that briefly fought with Magaddino before going under his wing. This Calabrian Camorra group had connections to other Calabrian organizations in Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Newark, Chicago, Detroit, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Paul, and Toronto. For a while, they almost rivaled the Mafia, but declined in power and numbers in the 1920s. If you can pm me, I may be able to find some more detailed information.
