He mentioned he had known JOE CORBI very well in their younger years. He added JOE was never active in the rackets until about 7 years ago when he got caught in a one million dollar lottery deal out of Canada. JOE CORBI had been picked up in Baltimore. Informant knew that before this had occurred JOE CORBI had driven a truck for Free State Brewery and when Free State Brewery went out of business he took over the management of the Villa Nova Night Club. On March 6, 1964, Confidential Informant BA T-2 advised that the prior arrangeménts with FRANK CORBI regarding weekly lay-offs from numbers operators to FRANK CORBI through HITTY WILDSTEIN had been cancelled. Informant advised that CORBI was not then receiving lay-off money from any gambler in Baltimore due to instructions received by CORBI from JOE GALLO, a New York hoodlum. This weekly lay-off money was not to be collected until JULIUS SALSBURY is released from confinement for evasion of Federal income tax. . NW 45839 DociId:3229213i1 Page 4
