I have come to the conclusion that Fosco is guessing and we can't take any thing he says as gospel.

#3 he says isn't Simonelli, because he wouldn't be with this high level crowd.
He also says it's Pranno.
No who ever saw Pranno would ever confuse him with Potenza or Simonelli. The guy looked like Herman Munster fer cripes sake.

I think he wants this to be a shot of another Apalachin, but I think it might just be a bunch of mobsters drinking beer.

Simonelli would have an excellent reason to be there. He was Joe B's brother in law, his regular job as Martin Accardo's sidekick was on hold while Martin was in prison on a Tax beef, and was possibly already living in Tony's guest house (he was certainly in there by '63).

As for Joey Gags, I had written him off, but in every picture I had seen he looked like such a mope. Then I saw this one of him smiling.



Put a cap on him and make him laugh, and I see #4.

Somewhere out there is a '52 lineup photo of Cowboy Mirro. It was evidence at the McClellan hearings and a copy passed through the hands of Binder and was auctioned off in '06.

I'll keep looking.
