He said he never knew this boy's last name and when ROSSELLI said, "I'm JOHNNY ROSSELLI", he assumed it was ROSSELLI's true name. He has not seen ROSSELLI since 1925, nor has he heard anything concerning him. ‘ TARANTINO said he lived with his parents at 100 . Cottage Street, | East Boston, from about 1910 to possibly 1914 and that "ROSSELLI" lived around the corner on Maverick Street. Both families lived on second floors. TARANTINO's father, MATTEO TARANTINO, operated a barber shop at the Cottage Street address and had a pool’hall in the rear of the barber shop, while he lived above the barber shop. TARANTINO knew nothing concerning ROSSELLI's family.

ROSSELLI had a suitcase and a top coat. He : took ROSSELLI to the office of Dr. VICTOR LANDES in Beverly Hills and waited for him and then took him to within one block of Doheny Drive and Wilshire Boulevard: in Beverly Hills, where ROSSELLI left the car. The office of JAMES CANTILLON, ROSSELLI's attorney, is located. in the Gibralter Square Building on the northwest corner of Doheny Drive and Wilshire Boulevard.

A review of school records by the Boston Office did not disclose a Maverick Street address for the SACCO family, but this may be because PHILIPPO SACCO was not yet in school. ‘Boston investigation per airtel to Director, 11/12/64, reveals MATTEO TARANTINO, a barber, resided 100 Cottage Street from 1910 to 1912.
