rendered to police, saying he and
Lamiella engaged in gun duel.
Authorities declare Lan1iella is one
of the inen who has been striving
to gain ascendancy in the liquor
business.
McCulley first became identified
with the liquor racket when he was
employed as deliveryman by Cath
crime, Is, daughter of Lamiella. In
that work he became acquainted
with buyers and soon was in busi-
ness for himself.
He and Lamiella had separate
groups of customers, but entered
into a working agreement that
should either be short of liquor, the
other would fill the order. Eventu-
ally this led to a quarrel, Lamiella
accusing the youth of stealing some
Of his customers.
Lily Sanicola, sister of Veltri, is
among his former employees. She
engaged him after her husband had
received a ninety-day term, and she
decided to continue operation of his
liquor business.
