Bill Bonanno got the dates wrong, Gagliano stepped down in 51' and died in 53'. Some sources say that he was semi retired after 1946 and let Lucchese run things before he retired.
Tommy Lucchese supposedly testified that Gagliano died in 51, not 53.
Bill Bonanno said that the 53 extraordinary Commission meeting was called by Gagliano himself to name Tommy Lucchese and step down. That is very specific.
