I´m sure most of you know this already, but Danny Marino and four others were arrested in April 1963 after stomping a FBI agent, John P. Foley, nearly to death and taking his gun. The assault occured after another FBI agent had photographed a funeral party which included Gambino captain Carmine Lombardozzi. The funeral service was being held for Lombardozzi´s deceased father, Carmelo. All the arrestees were relatives of Carmine, who did not take part in the assault. The gun was eventually returned to the FBI but Marino, John Joseph Lombardozzi, George Lombardozzi, Camillo Charles Lombardozzi and Joseph Zampello were sentenced to a 20 month imprisonment each.

Young guys (at the time) trying to impress their elders. It was certainly one of the stupidest stunts ever pulled. I seriously doubt that Carlo was pleased . But give Marino the credit that he's due. He checked the temper in his middle age and he became a very shrewd mobster AND businessman.

I've always likened Marino to Joe Butch Corrao for that reason. Corrao had a temper that was downright frightening to even the most innocent of bystanders (like the poor tourists who were unfortunate enough to be eating at Taoromina or Cafe Biondo when he snapped). But unlike Marino, Joe had that temper until the day he died. But he was still a very crafty guy and a tremendous earner who was univerally respected in a family that was literally split in two when he was coming up.

But if he was the boss before going to jail, wouldn't the boss job be rightfully his when he gets out? Isn't that how it has worked in years past?
