Word had it that both the Gambinos and important people in Sicily spoke up for Stanfa and assured that he was spared.Long John Martorano too----he was Bruno's regular driver and had driven him to Cous' that night,but begged off driving him home.Long John also told Mario Riccobene when he was trying to get him to set up his brother Harry that "Angie" was one of the 5 whackings he had participated in up to that point.It's long been suspected that Long John was the one who made the call to say that Bruno was on his way home.
