Burns also related that there were no tire marks in the dirt road that led to Gino's Classical Car's garage. USF & G adjustor is one Sharon Kohler, (301) 547-3569.Burns noted that a vacationing Pennsylvania police officer, on 07-21-76, two days before the theft, observed a blue GMC Tractor with a yellow trailer operated by two negro males at the Union 76 Truck Stop in Colesville, Pa. The truck was being followed by a negro male in a maroon Rolls Royce. The yellow trailer was loaded with six classical cars, a white over black Cadillac, a Mercedes, what appeared to be a Rolls Royce but could have been the Packard and three other cars.Lastly, Burns related that one Investigator Jones, Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, assisted CARRAFA in going into business. Burns and Hones inspected Gino's numerous times and found violations such as un-notarized titles, but Jones took no enforcement action.PAGE#

Initially we think it was the classical cars you know, but then all of a sudden they through us this damn curve and of course Lou Piccerelli is an associate of all of them and then his wife has Od and both Piccerelli and Knohls and Knohl has 19 busts in N.Y.||Adorjian|- do you, do we have any idea when she came to this city here, Chicago||Alban|- no I'm only into this thing for about two days. She according to Mrs. Carrafa's family that she has been in the racketts and dating racketteers in Chicago and of course Piccerelli knows the Zerilli family pretty well in Detroit:, and he knows all the heavy OC figures in Washington, D.C. area and this Maryland suburb. Of course Jay Knohl has been identified bt NYCPD Organized Crime as an unknown maybe a pickup man for an unknown banker up there. He's got 19 busts with numbers, but he is a little bit more than that, we have a big timer down here that was involved with the Marvin Mandel Governor of Maryland indictment and he had a tax lean of damn near 1/2 million and this Knohl called him and said he would bail him out if he could have a piece of the action, probably infiltration of legitimate business.|PAGE#
