In November, 1950, GIRARD sold The Grotto to JOSEPHXROSS, a yk relative, and JAMESXPROCACCINA, both of Newark. Although there ~*~ was no date of termi ion given in the record, it was noted that The Grotto had had repeated citations for various violations, the last being in September, 1953, In 1952, The Grotto was described as a favorite hoodlum hangout and it was alleged that TONY BOY BOIARDO had a financial interest in it. In September, 1955, NK 1846-C reported that following a vacation period, fhe Grotto was scheduled to reopen on 9/12/55, but had not yet done so on 9/27/55. The site on which The Grotto stood has since been included in a large tract used for a freeway and housing project, both of which have been completed for at least five years. All references in Newark indices to HARRY, HAROLD, LITILE HARRY and LITTLE HAROLD have been reviewed, but none could be identified with the victim. In additionall jewelers listed in the classified section of Newark city directories for the period 1937 to 1957, with a first name of HARRY or HAROLD, were searched : through indices with negative results, In the event NK 2251-C* or any other source provides additional information which might lead to the identification of RUSSO's victim, appropriate action will be taken, Concerning the reference in relet to the physical layout of RUGGIE IARDO's Livingston estate, Agents who interviewed oan him on the premises have advised that the grounds occupy about 20 acres of which much is woodland. There are four houses on the property; BOIARDO's own residence and one each occupied by a married daughter, There is at least one large barn and several out buildings. The main house is at the end of a lane winding about 200 yards from a semi-rural road, The Agents observed that for a considerable distance to the rear of the house, there were gardens, animal and bird cages and statuary; however, because of the rolling terrain, no greenhouse was visible. 6 Newark will remain alert for any opportunity to survey BOIARDO's estate discreetly in order to locate the pit described by RUSSO: Docld: 32303717 Page 3
