He stated that. ROBERTSON was allegedly a local - bondsman; and. that SCOTTY stated that ‘he. was a local parole and probation officer. Since that time, CI has learned that -these two - men .are working hand-and-hand' with West Side hoodlums, "CHUCKIE" NICOLETTI, "JU JU" GRIECO, TONY SPILATRO and | WILLIE "POTATOES" DADDANO. “These men meet practically | every evening from about 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the.

He feels that. they believe that he is better qualified. to handle some of their contacts than the men listed above.

DANIEL WARD was fairing in-the contest. It seems WARD; who was. running ‘for States Attorney for Cook County,. is: the man who the organized crime in Chicago very.much wants in that post ,- ‘and as. the evening wore on and it was apparent that. WARD would. win, these men. were quite elated, which indicated to CI that the organized crime in Chicago felt WARD could be controlled ‘by> them: after he assumed office in the near future. CI stated. that on the- evening < of November 10, 1960, STEVENSON and ROBERTSON were to fly to Las. ‘Vegas, Nevada, with two local. judges and three or four city officials, names not devulged to CI. They were to be gone for only three or four Bys, after which time- ‘they: would ‘return to: Chicago. e ROCCO PRANO PCI RALPH KELLY, Elgin, Illinois, ‘advised on..

CG 92-349 It was further related by KELLY that it appears that WILLIE "POTATOES" DADDANO,. who formerly ‘had exclusive rights to McHenry, Kane and DuPage County, Illinois, has apparently lost out in his fight with. SAM "MOONEY" GIANCANA for the territory and GIANCANA now has exclusive rights to the area. He stated that both PRANO and TONY PIROTTI ,. who -served in the same capacity as PRANO in DuPage County , were DADDANO's men and from what he has learned, PIROTTI is out _ entirely in DuPage County and at the present time he and -DADDANO are operating a jukebox route out of Freeport, Illinois. He stated that PIROTTI. who resides in DuPage County, is only Supposed to spend his week.ends in Du Page County and during... the week resides at Freeport. He stated that due to the . shifting in power in the three counties, it is entirely. possible. that this is the reason that PRANO is stay ing out of Kane ~ County. KELLY stated that JULIUS COHEN, who did the. collecting . in the county on the machines under. DADDANO, is still serving in “the .same capacity, however, COHEN. only ‘spends two days a week in Kane County,.and at that time he leaves as rapidly as possible. after his work is..complete. , KELLY stated that he is of the opinion that either PRANO. and the others have done sométhing wrong in the  ouety or they are going to attempt. to start Something new. He. _ authorities in the county clamping ‘down on PRANO;, “that. he. made” a> special trip to the Key Club requesting PRANO. ‘to. tell his .... | _ guperiors to let him (KELLY) ; and CLARENCE LAMBERT, who used to have pinball machines in the Dundee, Illinois, area ; and who was also. taken over by PRANO and given a job- ‘with. the. ‘ - Aurora-Kane County Amusement.
