That was all part of the plot , NS refuse's # 1 slot knowing that Testa will be hit and he (NS) will get the Boss slot soon. NS after becoming Boss now is concerned that Salvy will find out about this. Nicky does two year's in Texas prison and upon coming home starts the plot to kill Salvy ! Using the excuse of Salvy jilting Merlino's Daughter to conceal the hit of Phil Testa.
wise old owl sat on a oak , the more he heard the less he spoke , the less he spoke the more he heard , wasn't that a wise ole bird.
