Wow great stuff. I always assumed that Marcello was knocked down, not that he was caught by surprise by a juice/extortion victim. I presume he was with Cicero? I love shit like this. I bet there are thousands of stories like this that are slowly being forgotten...
I think Sam lived in Rosemont at the time of his death. I'm not really sure what crew he was with but it may have indeed been Cicero given the location of that sandwhich shop (or perhaps even 26th Street).
"A History Of Violence" (book) Samuel J. Marcello 57, lived at 6017 N. Emerson in Rosemont.
Joseph "Big Joe" Grisafe 34, lived at 742 W. Dempster, Mount Prospect.
"All these men were involved in Bolita operations and linked to a scandal involving counterfeit money being passed through the operation. Police eventually learned that James Irwin and Wayne Cascone were the killers in this and other related murders, however, Irwin was killed on May 1, 1976 and Cascone on Jan. 27, 1974 before they were brought to Justice for these crimes."
