Seven Convicted
In Chicago on
Extortion Counts

NEW YORK, Dec %. (UP)-A
labor leader and six Chicago gang
sters convicted of conspiracy charg-
es to extort $1,000,000 from the film
industry, were at liberty Thursday
under heavy bail until Dec. 30
when they will receive sentences
that may range up to 10 years in
prison.
The Chicagoans were held in eX-
tended bail of 100000 each, while
the labor leaders bail was continued
at $4,000.
A federal court jury of nine men
and three women found the group
guilty last night after celebrating
slightly more than 10 hours.
After the verdict was announced,
Judge John Bright said he had
intended in the event of conviction,
to commit the men to. Jail.
The defendants are Louis Kauf-
man, business manager for the New
ark local of the international Alli-
ance of Theatrical Stage Employees,
and six former members of the AL
Capone gang, John Roselli, Louis
Campagna, Phil D'Andrea, Francis
Maritote, Paul De Lucia and Char
les Gioe.
Three other men were indicted
with the group last March. One
of them, Frank Nitti, another Ca
pone follower, shot himself the
day the indictment was handed
down; Nick DEAN Circella pleaded
guilty and charges against Ralph
Pierce, also reputed member of
the Capone gang, were dismissed
last month.
The principal government wit
nesses were William Bioff and
George E. Browne, former officials
of the IATSE and both serving
terms for extortion. They testified
that the seven defendants had shar-
ed in the receipts from a $1,000, 900
shakedown of west coast movie
studios, which Bioff and Browne
said was to keep the union men,
bers lin line"
Conviction of the charges carries
maximum penalty for each de-
fendant of 10 years in prison, a
$4,000 fine or both.
