Who ran Cicero, Melrose etc during this time period?


From my knowledge,from the period of the mid 1930's untill the mid 1940's Paul Ricca became boss of the West Side and Tough Tony Capezio was the boss of the Grand Ave Crew.Rocco "Mr. Big" DeGrazia became the boss of Melrose Park and Jim Emery had the Chicago Heights.Ralph Capone and Louis Campagna had the Cicero crew.

During Giancana's reign as boss(mid 50's-mid 60's)the boss or capo of Taylor Street was Fifi Buccieri,Frank LaPorte had the CHicago Heights and Ross Prio was the boss of CHicago's North Side.Battaglia had Melrose Park,Aiuppa had Cicero and Cerone had Elmwood Park.Accardo was also Elmwood Park but during this period he acted as an advisor to Giancana.Paul Ricca and Giancana were also Taylor STreet.

Our board member Snakes made some good Chicago Outfit charts about all of the periods but i dont know if he posted them here



Thank you, do you know of any links to those charts?
