1t as proof that the secret So
ciety did in fact exist and was
functioning.
Under questioning at the
Vestal police station, Barbara's
guests gave q variety of ex-
plantations for their presence
in Apalachin. The most con-
sistent one was that they just
dropped by to see their old
friend Joe because they under

nothing to charge them with.
They didn't even carry guns

charged with possessing guns.

estimate that more than half
of the Apalachin guests were
on it.
The Mcclellan Senate Rack
cts Committee summoned the
guests to hearings and compiled
their criminal records. The most
impressive thing about these
records was the range Of crimes
with which they had been ac-

assembled at the barbecue pit.
Detective Gets Break
1t also marked a turning
point in the intending war be-
tween organized crime and law
enforcement agencies by pro-
viding positive proof that the
men who run the Nations
rackets met periodically on
mutual problems.
The Apalachin story began
when Detective Sergt. Edgar
Croswell Of the New York State
police went to Vestal. NY. on
November Is, 1857, to investi-
gate a bad check report. While
he was there, Joseph Barbara,
jr., rolled UP in his Cadillac to
reserve three double rooms for
two nights.
Sergt. Croswell's curiosity was
piqued. He had been waiting for
Is years for the senior Barbara
to make a mistake. Barbara
owned the prosperous Mission
Beverages Co. of Endicott, N.Y..
ard the $150.000 estate on a
hill outside Apalachin. The SER
geant had run into the Barbara
name frequently while investi-
eating gambling and the man
ufacture of Illicit alcohol.
AS the story is unfolded by
Frederic Sondern, jr.. in the
best-selling Brotherhood of
Evil: The Malta" Sergt. Cros-
well checked the Barbara house
and saw four big cars parked
in the driveway. He was sure
something was going on--Or
about to go on.
Big Autos Appear
He telephoned his suspicious
to two old friends in Albany,
Treasury agents in the Alcohol
Tax Unit, who promised to
start driving Immediately.
Meanwhile, during the night,
five men descended from an
airplane at Binghamton and
were driven of in Barbara's
Cadillac.
When morning came, Sergt.
Croswell, his partner and the
two Federal agents again
checked the motel. More guests
had arrived but had already
left.
There was no unusual ac-
tivity at the bottling plant in
Endicott. But as the quartet
of investigators approached the
Barbara house, they saw a
dozen big cars with low license
plates parked in front of the
garage and rs more in a nearby
field.
Police and agents started
copying license plates as fast
as they could go. They were
