Some great info, TooDoped. One thing you can count on is that Accardo would be very "insulated" when it came to handing down orders. I bet Aiuppa was involved with Cerone when the word came to eliminate the burglars. Accardo was always 2 or 3 steps out from issuing orders. As you said, he was one smart gangster.

I would agree about Volpe and his Honda......never found and long gone.

Carl Walsh was also one smart lawyer. His son represented Accardo after Sr. Passed. Actually, Carl senior prosecuted Accardo durning the Hollywood Ext Trial. I believe the case took place in N.Y. Accardo was detained and probably spent a night in jail (opinion), but as always, he wasn't prosecuted. Walsh was an Asst. D.A. at the time.
