Since Ricca and Campagna were jailed, the main guys during this period were Ralph Capone, Mangano, DeGeorge, Capezio, Fishetti's and obviously Accardo, with a lot of backing from Humphreys, Guzik, Heeney and Maddox. Now, Mangano was killed in 1944, DeGeroge was allegedly demoted by 1948 since many of his crew members were killed, Capone also slowly started fading away from the Chicago scene, and so that leaves the Fischetti's, Rocco and Charles, and Capezio, which possibly were the real power behind Accardo during that time.
