I know we've covered weather Castellano was gangster enough before and Im familiar with most of his documented criminal history including as far back as his 1934 Connecticut arrest following the bungled robbery, but I recently come across a story of him and Carlo Gambino beating a man to death with a baseball bat in 1933. The story has it that they killed a man .....? Ardino (Arduino??) who was a bootlegger infringing on Manganos rackets and it was paulie who was the one to go to bat on the guy, suitably impressing Vincent Mangano.
This is the first time I've come across information about Castellano or even Gambino being personally involved in a killing. Anyone else have any info or heard about this previously?
