LaPorte took over as boss after Emery in the 1950's

It looks like thats just another rumour spread around by money making authors.Same as Giancana Jr. and Corbitt when they stated that Hy Larner was the real boss behind Sam Giancana and the Outfit in general.


It's from Lawrence Bergreen's book Capone: The Man and the Era. I think Bergreen is nuts or on drugs or something. His book gets really strange at times.
