PG 92-236 On February 14, 1966, PG T-6 advised: Recently, KELLY MANNARINO called af indi- vidual on the telephone and told this individual that he would give him "the book" for all types of bets, but this person stated, "What if I don't accept?" | MANNARINO replied, "Think it over for one day-and~ then I believe you will." It was rumored that this — person thought it over and thereafter took the booking action. The unknown individual called at the time is still not known. - LA COSA NOSTRA It is noted that it has been reported previously that sources have identified GABRIEL MANNARINO as a member of La Cosa Nostra.

BESASE also indicated that he has been in frequent con- tact, of late, with KELLY MANNARINO and TONY RIPEPI, Pittsburgh members of La Cosa Nostra; however, in- formant was unable to ascertain the purpose of these contacts. MISCELLANEOUS On February 18, 1966, P@ T-1 advised: TF Recently, SAM MANNARINO stated that while he was incarcerated at United.States Penitentiary, Lewisburg, Pa., from mid-1904 to mid-19605, a building contractor named (FNU) DALEY had cheated him out of a substantial amount of money. According to MANNARINO, his brother, KELLY MANNARINO, and "some friends" had come to him, upon his release, and suggested the killing ‘of DALEY, but MANNARINO claimed he disuaded them from this course of action, saying that the risk involv was too great for the smal amount of money he had lost.
