Wanted to call this thing All Appalachia All The Time, catchy but pompous as hell, specially from somebody who knows jack shit. I know what the average schmoo knows from following the zillion reports since that milestone confab in 57.
What I don't know is what they were busted for, what law they had violated, those that managed to track through the bush only to land in the clutches of the Mayberry Marshals. And whatever they had come to settle (heard all kind of stuff), why'd it take 100 plus mopes, if reports are to be believed. Some accounts said they were all bosses! 100 bosses!
Point I'd like to make is, forever after Appalacha when I heard 'organized crime', I'd reflexly think of that cozy, sleepy burb upstate NY. Think of the catering, lodging, amenities for that many palookas! TP alone must have been carted in by dump truck. And to think if not by chance some cowboy cop had been a wee bit curious, only those involved would've ever known it even took place! It certainly took well ordered planing and and cooperation of many disparate egos to even conceive of such a convoluted undertaking--in secrecy yet. And, remember, these guys were poor uneducated immigrants from an undeveloped island across the ocean...who could barely speak English!...-No wonder Hoover said they didn't exist...the embarrassment!
N..... or no, bastard had balls, shame to kill him...

Do you guys believe Vito Genovese is the one who tipped of the authorities? I think it's a real possibility because the more I read about LCN the more I think Genovese was real piece of shit, just the kind that would do it. He wanted to run the whole thing and would do anything to get that power. What a dick. If that is the case, that is unbelievably messed up.

you at least in your late 60's-70s considering you would of been of an observant age to understand the event. sorry to inquire im just intrigued after what youve said that after *Apalachin you thought of oc. Didn't meant to imply that--but you know the saying, England and America, two peoples separated by the same language. Far as the age, you're in the ball park--or do you lads call that something else?

I don't think genovese tipped the cops.the commission meeting was held at the same spot just a year before from what I've read genovese called the meeting.I did read somewhere they thought carlos Marcello tipped the cops cus of the attempt on costello but its prolly bs. And the cops went to his house when they noticed limos and nice cars with out of state plates I think and joe barbera son renting hotel rooms up.probable cause there huh?

I think someone had to have spilled the beans. They just couldn't have had the manpower just sitting ready to catch all those guys driving and running. The police were just too ready. Imo

Far as the age, you're in the ball park--or do you lads call that something else? yeah ball park we say that sometimes even though baseball is not big here. yeah your right definitely separated by language. yours is very much like a 1930s storytellers from your main speech. i like it!
