he saw him in New York.
Writer had a discussion with Piccerelli and it was learned that
up until a few weeks ago he was a bouncer at Fran O'Brians
Anthony House. Piccerelli stated that he knew Richie McCaleb,
McGowan, Joe Nesline, Becky Sutton; and without any prompting
Charlie Tourine. Piccerelli stated that the aforementioned

stated that in two weeks he and two partners were going to
open a bar in Detroit called "The Three of Us". When I
remarked that Joseph Zerelli might be around, Piccerelli

as the numbers she possessed were relative to lot and number
of pairs of pants she boxed in a garmet house where she worked.
Mrs. Knohl further stated that she brought her down from
Brooklyn and got her an apartment in Rockville. Maryland
telephone directory lists one Jennie Saviano, 199 Rollins Ave.,
Rockville, Md., 770-6784; and it is noted that she is the only
Saviano in the book.
At approximately 1930 hours David P. Knohl called writer,

mation. Knohl did say that this was a double shock for Mr.
Piccerelli as he burried his wife two weeks ago.

Brokers Wholesale, Inc., rear of 5102 Georgia Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. (202) 723-4100 and (202) 291-6400.
Writer contacted MSP Trooper Burns reference the three classical
cars reported stolen by CARRAFA on 07-22-76 to 07-23-76, and
he stated that CARRAFA refused a polygraph three times; and
CARRAFA told him that the reason was that he was into other
things. Burns feels that the theft of these vehicles was
staged by CARRAFA as he showed Burns one point of entry and
a United States Fidelity & Guarantee Insurance Adjustor another
point of entry. 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.

we think it was the classical cars you know, but then all of

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.

Ok, Doris go ahead and go back to when you first met Gino
I met Gino last summer, he and some of his friends came into
where I work and I 
dated him all last summer, he kept in contact
with me after I quit work and 
went back to school and then when
I came down here again 
this summer, I went out with him once or
twice and he would come in 
to see me at work.

asked me if I needed a ride into work the next
day, which did, he took 
me to work and then we just started
going out.

to keep a lot of things 
to himself so I never really questioned
him too much. I didn't 
ask where he lived or anything like that
How did you get in touch with him
I never did, well either I called Gino's Classic Cars or else
I didn't get in touch with him. He usually was the one who would
get in touch with me.
do you think that he was mixed up in something that wasn't
exactly on the 
up and up?
yes
what makes you feel that way?
just for the different times when he wouldn't give me his phone
number of his address. He 
said he didn't give it out to anybody,

just couldn't

oh, I guess it was, well it was my second semester of school,
you know, which was this past term, so it must have been in
February, March, April
Did he say why he went to California?
I was under the impression it was for art, looking for cars and
things like that
did he drive out or fly out, do you know?

come if they were partners

and made a joke of it as he 
usually does
to your knowledge, did Gino carry a lot of money on him?

can you give me an estimate of how much
no I never
a couple of hundred dollars

Patrick just quit
Patrick
Sherman, just quit
what did he look like?
uh, red hair, long, very long mustache, fairly heavy, he was
short, 5'7", 5'8"
do you know why he quit?
uh, Gino said that it was because he felt that he was holding
Patrick back and that Patrick 
was more or less in a rut and
Patrick said that he 
had a lot of things on his mind and Gino
had a lot of things or his 
mind and it was better for both of
them if they split. 
Patrick was back in the area, Patrick had
been in a hospital and he came 
back, a matter of fact he was
in Sunday night, the night before 
the last when I saw Gino and
then he also came in with Gino's

I don't know if he did sell 
that Cadillac or if it was stolen
or uh, there had 
been a car in the paint room
now did you hear that a Cadillac was stolen in the paint room
from California
I had heard that only through reading the paper, as a matter of
fact someone else called my 
attention to it, I didn't even know
and I couldn't 
understand why Gino didn't mention it to me that
Monday when he was in. 
Because from the way I understood i
the robbery happened 
on Friday or Saturday night and Gino was
it,
in here Monday and I 
couldn't understand why he didn't say
anything to me

I'm just curious, when we first started talking about him, you
mentioned the fact that you felt there 
was something, something
wasn't 
quite right about what Gino was 
doing and you spent some
time in 
the shop and everything, did you 
have any idea what
that might 
be
no, I uh, I never, I often wondered about it and
it to my sister, my sister had advised me to stay away from Gino,
even mentioned
but
S
well, why did you tell your sister if she advised you to stay
away from Gino
D
just that I thought he was doing something illegal that I thought
he was mixed up in something, I don't know 
what just

you must have had some guess or something
no, it was just you know, I thought it was very odd that he
would never give me his phone number or things like that and
well impression of other things, everything seemed very odd to
me
for instance, what types of things did you question
uh
don't miss understand, we're not trying to divulge any evidence

right off, I just cant think
what about his partner, did he every say anything about him
no, not anything much
how often did his partner come down here, about, that you know
oh, not that often, they would call each other quite frequently
you know, like once every day, they would call each other
once a day
probably
when you say not that often, how often do you mean
uh, lets see, I'd say once every few months Jason would be down
cause as far as I know Jason may have been down twice this summer
to my knowledge
how recently, what is the most recent time that he was down
he was definitely down here in JUne because he stopped in to
see me, but he may, I'm not positive, I think he was taking a
plane out of Baltimore and I think he stopped in, I think Gino
had taken him to the airport, but I'm not positive about that
out of Baltimore to where, back to New York
I have no idea
going back to the very recent past, the last time that you saw
Gino was say about two weeks ago
D
uh huh

what did the conversation involve
oh, they were giving me a hard time before and like being very
funny towards Gino and you know they were teasing him about
you know things like that, that was basically the, other than
general, his brother had bought a new car and he had brought
it down for Gino to look at it to see what Gino thought
was and the conversation just jumped around about cars and that
was about it
what type of car was that, do you know
it was something like a Vega, something like that
he bought it here in Maryland or
no, well his brother bought it in Connecticut and wanted Gino
to see it and they were on there way to uh Virginia Beach or one
of the beaches for a few days
S did Gino every during the time you said, that you were trying
to break off the relationship, at least slow it down some, un
at any time during when you were having a good relationship,
did he ever give you any indication of how his business was
doing or anything like that

Suh, Gino always tried to make everyone think that he was doing
very well, you known
was that including you
yeah, occasionally he would you know make a joke if I don't
get this car sold that I'm not going to have you know, you
know some money, things like that, but usually he would try
to make it sound as if he was doing very well and he would
try to you know show off his money, try to be very extravigant
with his money
when you were dating Gino, last summer about how often were
you seeing him
about every week and he would take me almost every week
once or twice a week, something like that
NW 88326 Docld:32266807 Page 30

-10-
well, I'd see him, you know I would see him two, three, maybe
four times a week and then, uh, Gino did buy me a piece of
jewelry, he bought me a charm for a charm braclet, they had
a going away party for me but that was just you know everybody
had bought me, Gino wouldn't always take me out on my day off
because a lot of things would come up that is another thing that
I couldn't understand is uh we would make plans to go somewhere
and all of a sudden he would call me up that afternoon and say
I'm sorry but I must go to Philadelphia for I must go here, he
just made a recent trip to Philadelphia as a matter of fact, uh
he stopped by to take me with him, but I already had another
date, so he left
M did he say why he was going to Philadelphia

this is sort of personal, but did he every purpose marriage

I don't know what his means were
did you get the impression that maybe he is a high roller,
do you know what I mean by high roller
uh, yeah, In some ways I think he was and in other ways I
don't know
did he gamble any to your knowledge
when he was younger he gambled but he didn't gamble any more
M but the time that you have known him, your knowledge he has
never gambled
D
no he quit gambling
M
how do you know that he gambled when he was younger

well he told me stories about you know when they used to go
to the race trach and you know things like this

either just getting out of the service or while he was in the
service

that Gino worked very hard for everything that he has gotten.
Patrick I think was trying to advise Gino to get out of what

let me ask you this or maybe you can give us some kind of an
answer, or a speculation anyway, since you have known Gino and
dated him and so forth, did he ever indicate to you or did you
ever get a feeling that maybe there was somebody out to get him
no, but uh, not so much Gino, but I knew Jason has had a couple
stunts with people in his neighborhood really and they had gone
as far as doing damage to cars and things like this, and I knew
Jason wasn't too well, you know slashed roof tops and things
like this, I knew things like that, but as far as Gino not I

I recognize the suit that Gino has on, it just got that within
a year
you don't know who the girl is. Are you sure that Gino lived
in Bethesda
Gino would always just refer to it as outside of D.C. and then
just recently he had been more specific where he was living and
I know Gino has a housekeeper or somebody, because Patrick told
me that Gino had somebody coming in and all the time watching
his dog and watching the house for him and Gino didn't get along
well with his neighbors as far as I know
why do you say that
because they always complained about where he parked his cars
occasionally I guess he would drive the older cars home and he
would want them right on the lawn close to the house and he told
me several times when people would come over and try to fight with
him he would tell them off and as far as I know he wasn't close
to anybody down there, with exception of the man who owned the
restaurant, I know he
he was close with this guy who owned the restaurant

one that he had driven back
that trailer that his truck was pulling, describe it for me So
I know we are talking about the same trailer
its uh white and it has Horseless Carriage Carrier written on it
about how big is it?
I think it is an 18 wheeler, I'm not sure, but I think it is
we just came by his place of business and we saw this big tractor
trailer parked in the back, without the tractor, does that belong
to Gino?

believe I saw last Monday night
did you get any impression at all, you must have had some
impression because you said it wasn't Gino driving it so what
kind of impression led you to believe it wasn't Gino?
the man in it didn't look like Gi.no
what did he look like?
I honestly can't tell you, I honestly can't
Does the name Bill Bogley ever come up in conversation, how
about a name Ronald, Ronald Smisek? How about a guy by the
name of Knohl?
Did Gino seem to be upset over the fact that he had three of these
cars stolen?
no, not at all
he didn't?
no, that is why probably the reason he didn't mention it to me
he never mentioned it to you?
never, not once did he say anything about it. He was in an
extremely good mood
Is Gino going with anybody now since you all have kind of
not that I know of, Gino is very set with me, I plan, uh and
going to talk with him, but when he came here to pick me up
that one time and take me out, he was very upset with me that
I already had another date and you know he was in the bar and
he tried to joke around with me and try to get me to come over
sit with them and his brother mentioned going out to dinner
together and I just made light of it and Gino was a little

in trouble with the law?
no Gino came from a very large family and he uh wasn't real
close with anybody except his brother Joe was the impressions

Oh, I only went out with Jason and Gino one time in New York
and that was to an Italian Restaurant, Jolies
Julies
Giollies, an Italian Restaurant, something like Giollies,
Gino and Jason both liked the food there.
S.
Is it in the city?
No, it was, I honestly can't remember, it was run by an
Italian family who I guess it has been in the family for years
and they seemed to both go there.

I always t thought that he lived in D.C. up until one time when
he got a traffic ticket last summer and when he pulled out a
Maryland license, I said I thought you lived in D.C. and he
said well I say D.C. but it is really Maryland

Did he ever talk about going down to West Virginia any?
no, he did go to Pittsburgh in June to give somebody a car,
he was selling somebody something it was more like a package
then he went you know to Pittsburg and he was going to bring.
it to here, they had it worked out, so I know Gino went to
Pittsburgh in June
what time did he generally get into the shop if you know?

not until late, he wouldn't get in until 11 or 12, never
early

and he usually left at a decent hour?

he wanted to get done

uh, I believe so because I think after that after he went to
Florida is when he went out to California and he didn't bother
to write to me at all from California, he called me he never
would write
When he called you did he call collect?
No, a lot of times he would call me person to person
he would call you at the restaurant
No, this was when I was in school
Oh, I see, at school
yes
Did you get the impression that he fouled around a lot with
other women other than you
yeah
you did
was he a jealous type person? in your opinion
uh, average, he didn't like it when I went out with other
people and he got upset when he would call up at school and I
wasn't there, he always, he'd joke around, but he meant was
he was joking around

Who drove the truck usually when there was something
to be picked up?
Gino used to have drivers, but right now I think Gino was doing
it himself, I'm not positive, but I think so
Jason's brother and Gino and this other man who will be at that
car rental place, all ran around together, the three of them.
Jason's brother, the guy that ran the car rental place.
the one that Gino would come see at the car rental place,
Gino, uh I was there twice with Gino at this car rental place
and both times he was there, so I know he does something there
now, this is at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport
right and if you can't get ahold of that man
what does this man look like?
uh, he has glasses and he is dark hair, if you can't get him
there I know another place where you would be able to find out
some information, it's called the Tim Buck Two Bar somewhere
in that area and that man goes there all the time, as a matter
of fact Gino used to go there a lot with him
M and they were good friends
you know the first time I met Gino the three of them were
together, David and Sully and Gino were together

right and it is either David or Sully, I always got the two of
them mixed up because whenever Gino would talk about them there
and I couldn't keep them straight
Well, the reason we asked you if you had any inclination that
Gino was married is because he was
I thought that he, he had been because, well, last year there
would be note on his desk saying, you know, he had gotten a
phone call from what was her name Carol
uh huh
Carol, OK, and uh I didn't want to say anything you know about
it to Gino and he suspected that I suspected something and he
got real, very upset with me and we argued over it and it is
something I didn't want to know either way because I just didn't,
I didn't want to no and Gino was real upset that night.
does that, knowing that he was married does that explain the
secret about it, about his business and everything or do you
still feel there is something that there is something of a
mystery about it
I still feel there.
because you did suspect at the time
It isn't that he was married, up until he died he had a wife
uh huh
OK, I just wanted to make that clear. This is a very mysterious
situation and we are trying to get to the bottom of it all and
ther is only one way of doing it and that is to talk to people
that were associated with him and like I say you have cleared up
some questions for us, but if there is anything else that you
NW 88326 Docld:32266807 Page 41
M
D
-21-
(41)
can think of that would be of any help to us, to aid us
we would appreciate it. We would like to get to the bottom
of it
Because this has happened so quickly, it is hard for us to
keep it in our mind, the
garble
that Tinker
wrote down. Do you know the relationship there, Tinker
no

bothered you, that bothered you sister

in a rented car from where?
I don't know, he picked me up, he picked me up in the car

they made a comment about it and I said you're kidding I wonder
why he didn't mention it, cause they came in on Wednesday and
he was in on Monday and the cars were stolen on Friday, Monday
and Wednesday and I said you're kidding he was just in here

Thursday night weren't they

OK, so Thursday or Friday they were stolen and then it was

I said fine and he was fine, I said why didn't you tell me that
he was in the hospital and Gino just made a joke out of it,
just because he was in the hospital he was still doing fine
and that is the way he passed it off. I thought that was kind.
of odd that Gino wouldn't tell me that Patrick was in the

Allegedly they did some work for Gino. Although unconfirmed,
information has been received that Clayson stated Gino
always talked about being a hit man.
Ben Addison, the owner of J & J Furniture Refinishing, located
next door to Gino's, advised on Monday 8-2-76 he observed
three subjects in Gino's building. They had the door
opened and acted as if they belonged there. They loaded
some cars on the trailer which was being pulled by the brown
International truck owned by Gino. The trailer had "Horseless
Carriage Carrier" written on the side. Two White males
left Gino's in the truck and a black male followed them
operating an antique car.
On 08-13-76 Doris Duafala, Gino's girlfriend, was questioned
about whether she observed a vehicle following the truck
the day (Monday) she saw it traveling East on Route #40.
She stated she believed she saw a black guy operating an
antique car following the truck, but she is not real certain.
She further added that Gino had no black people working for
him. He hated black people because one was suppose to have
shot him accidently in the arm while in the Marines.
According to information received Gino was not seen at the
business very often. The place was not open all the time.
Up until a couple of months ago a person by the name of
Pat acted as a watchman. At the beginning of the year Gino
use to spend more time at the shop working. Lately more
expensive cars would be in the shop. Carrafa seemed to be
a nice guy.
He wasn't a flashy dresser. He usually was in
work clothes. He didn't seem to be the drinking type. He
was friendly, but not too close.

0900 hours, interview with Mrs. Schurman, wife of Patrick
Schurman. Mrs. Schurman states that she last saw her husband
on Tuesday evening of this week, which would be the 10th.
At that time her husband attempted to speak to her and stated
to her that he knew why and who Gino Carrafa was murdered..
She has extremely poor relations with her husband and stated
that she did not wish to discuss it with him, she did not
want to know anything about the situation. Mrs. Schurman
stated that the last time she saw Gino frequently or on a
regular basis was approximately eight years ago; now she
would only see him occasionally and does not consider him to
be a friend. She does not know anything about the business
other than the fact it was Gino's Classic Cars, and it dealt
in antique automobiles. Mrs. Schurman was given the investi-
gators name and telephone number and advised to contact him
any time that she heard from her husband, so that we might
interview him. She further stated that she expected to see
him sometime in the near future as he was going to return
some property to her that he allegedly stole from her resi-
dence. She also stated that in her last conversation with
him she was advised by him that he had intentions of attending
the funeral of Gino Carrafa in Connecticut, and further that
as far as she knew he was sleeping in his car because he
didn't have any money and on Tuesday evening he was at the
California Inn on Route #1, Laurel, Maryland, which would have

OBSERVATIONS/INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED/EXPENSES
In November 1967 Roselli came to Washington, D.C. where he
allegedly met two attorneys who were former FBI agents, several
senators, and an inspector of police who drive him to the air-
port. It is speculated that the inspector was Joseph Shiman.
This trip was, allegedly, for the purpose of straightening out
his immigration problems and it is of note that he was never
deported prior to his demise.
In December of 1967, following a Los Angeles Federal Grand Jury
probe into the cheating of card players at the Friar's Club,
Roselli was indicted along with Maurice Friedman, Manuel
(Ricky) Jacobs, Benjamin J. Teitelbaum, and a prominent Beverly
Hills physician. The indictment against the physician was
later dropped.

Jay Knohl has possession of her husband's 1976 Suburban
station wagon, Maryland registration EPP 200, serial
#CCS166F161048, title %236101813.
Mrs. Carrafa further related that her husband carried the
titles to both '32 Lincolns in his attache case, as well as
the title for the Suburban; and her husband carried the attache
case everywhere. She feels that if her husband had received
$10,000 and gone on to Los Angeles he would have kept the
titles with him; however by Jay Knohl's advertising these two
'32 Lincolns for sale, she assumes that he now possesses the
titles and took them from Carrafa's attache case following
his demise.
It was also learned that Carrafa received a traffic summons
from MSP trooper for violating Article 66 1/2, Sec. 11-309
and he was due in Shady Grove Court on 08/20/76. MSP will be
contacted reference circumstances surrounding this summons.

he issued Carrafa a ticket for passing in a "no passing trucks"

Levinson, a close associate of organized crime figure Meyer
Lansky, has had numerous interests in various East Coast and
Las Vegas casinos. Currently, his wife, Betty, is investing
in a restaurant-cocktail lounge and gambling casino at Lake

with operating a gambling place in Detroit. He was repeatedly
arrested for the same offense, but each time the charge was
dismissed.

During the 1964 Senate Rules Committee investigation of the
Bobby Baker case, Levinson claimed the privilege of the 1st,
4th, and 5th Amendments. During the investigation, it was
revealed that Levinson was a stockholder with Baker in the
Waikiki Savings and Loan Association in Honolulu, the other
members being Cliff Jones and his law partner, Louis Weiner;
Edward Barrick, a part-owner in the Flamingo, Fremont, and
Horseshoe Club; Mike Singer, deceased labor racketeer and former
business agent of Teamster Local 626 in Los Angeles; Morris
"Moe" Genser, former assistant chief investigator for the
California Department of Motor Vehicles, later indicted for
bribery, grand theft, extortion, and assorted other crimes;
and Fred Black, Jr. Levinson also joined with Baker and Black
in a stock deal which involved the Farmers and Merchants:
State Bank in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In May 1967, a U. S. Grand Jury in Las Vegas returned an in-
dictment of income tax evasion against Levinson; Edward Torres
former vice president of the Fremont Hotel; and Paul Weyerman
and Cornelius Hurlay, former stockholders and employees of the
Fremont Hotel.
In March 1968, Levinson pled nolo contendere to the "skimming"
charges, admitting that he had "willfully aided and assisted
in the preparation of false corporate tax returns for the fiscal
year ending in 1963", and was fined $5,000.
In 1967, a group of organized crime figures attempted to de-
fraud the Chase Manhattan Bank of almost $2 million, using the
Exchange Bank of Geneva, Switzerland as a cover. The bank was
owned by a group of Americans, including several prominent
businessmen, as well as Levinson and Benjamin Siegelbaum. The
investigation revealed that the Swiss bank had served as a
"laundry shop" for Mafia money for years.
On March 1, 1974, Levinson's wife, Betty, invested approxi-
mately $90,000 as a stockholder in Lake Elsinore Sands, Inc.,
a "restaurant, cocktail lounge, and gambling casino" at Lake
Elsinore. The officers of Lake Elsinore Sands, Inc., are
Jack Barenfeld, President, who was arrested in 1934 for sus-
picion of murder; and Carl Braverman, Vice President and
Treasurer, who was arrested in West Virginia in 1927 for larceny
and again in New York in 1943 for untrue advertising.
Barenfeld and Braverman are also partner GE#

Levinson then moved to Newport, Kentucky, where he operated the
Flamingo Club, a casino, along with Las Vegas racketeer Irving
"Nig" Devine. In 1951, he moved to Miami Beach, where he
operated the bookmaking concession at the San Souci Hotel.
Levinson was chased out of Miami in 1951 by the Kefauver
Committee, so he ventured to Las Vegas and became part-owner
in the Sands Hotel, which was being operated for Joseph "Doc"
Stacher, a Meyer Lansky lieutenant.
By 1955, Levinson, having acquired interests in the Flamingo
and Dunes hotels, was ready to give them all up for his coming
involvement in Doc Stacher's Fremont Hotel. At that same time,
he also acquired a major interest in the Horseshoe Club.
late 1963, he was the largest single stockholder in the
Fremont Hotel and in the Horseshoe.)
(By
He became involved in the establishment of the Bank of World
Commerce, Ltd., which incorporated in 1961 under British law in
Nassau. Ed Levinson and Cliff "Big Juice" Jones; former Nevada
Lieutenant Governor, were listed as stockholders, with the direc-
tors of the bank being Levinson; Benjamin Sigelbaum, a reported
bagman for Meyer Lansky; Irving Devine; and John Pullman.
Reportedly, the Bank of World Commerce served as a "laundromat"
I for syndicate cash by allowing money to flow into the bank only
to return to the United States from Nassau in the form of
loans for everything from homes for gangsters to savings and
loan associations around the country.
During the 1960's Levinson became associated with several poli-
tical figures. No only did he aid financially troubled Teams-
ters President Jimmy Hoffa, but he became a partner in the.
Serv-U Vending Corporation with Bobby Baker, then secretary
to the Democratic Majority Leader of the United States Senate;
Fred Black, Jr., a Washington lobbyist for North American
Aviation Company; and Benjamin Siegelbaum. This company pro-
vided vending machines for companies working on government
contracts and was substituted for a firm that had handled
North American Aviation's vending business for years, despite
the fact that Serv-U had no employees, vending machines, or
experience.
In 1962, Levinson, along with Benjamin Sigelbaum, appeared to
be involved in Airway Hotel, Inc., the hotel corporation which
created the Intenational Airport Hotel
on Century Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Lake Elsinore Sands to serve liquor in its card room. ☐ Robert
Willis Wilson, another newcomer to Riverside County, has pro-
posed an initiative to legalize gambling. (For further infor-
