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.

Thanks for the info and also thanks for the links Faithful1.I dont know much about the mob history in NY,so that was the first thing that came to my mind.Thanks again

I also have a question about the Spinelli family.Are they somehow connected to Louis Spienlli,a NY criminal who had Chicago connections and did some kidnappings during the 20's?He was once arrested together with Outfit members Lawrence Mangano and Sylvester Agoglia and New Yorker Angelo Caruso for the kidnapping of some businessman
