There is some interesting information on Gagliano in the book "The origin of organized crime in America: the New York City mafia, 1891-1931" by David Critchley. Gagliano went to jail for 15 months in 1932 for tax evasion. He is also described as "a contractor first and Mafia boss second", seems he tried harder than the other bosses to infiltrate legitimate businesses and covering up the rackets by a legitimate facade.

Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
