Sorry for bumping an old topic, but there is one gangster I forgot to mention before: Charlie Wall from Tampa, killed allegedly on Santo Trafficante's orders in 1955 and himself one of the suspect of ordering the 1940 hit on Ignazio Antinori.
http://mafia.wikia.com/wiki/Charlie_WallWas he Anglo-Saxon? The name sounds like that, but then some Irish have names similar to English sometimes. Sometimes some ethnic surnames are not what they seem. For example, I was told that Costello was an Irish surname, not Italian, so Francesco Castiglia, when changing to Frank Costello was pretending to be Irish initially
I thought is was a joke or a mistake, but then I checked, there actually were some characters in the crime chronicles in Ireland, named Costello (somebody from the IRA or another paramilitary group, I am not sure).
So was Charlie Wall an Anglo-Saxon mobster or another ethnicity?
