Sentenced to Life

Valachi, meanwhile, h a d
pleaded guilty to the murder
Of his fellow convict and drew
a life sentence. He was quietly
spirited away from Atlanta,
out Of the Federal prison sys-
tenn, and into a secret hiding
place.
His constant companion was
the FBI agent. Patiently, the
agent drew from Valachi the
names, places. dates of events
that have blackened police
blotters across the country.
AS the months passed, FBl
agents checked and double
checked his stories. They be-
gan charting "Cosa Nostra" by
families" the tag given by
the society to the individual
mobs.
When the chart started,
there were a lot of blanks in
the hierarchy. Now most Of
the blanks are filled. Figuring
on that chart are many of the
LOO racketeers on whom the
Federal agents have been TO-
cusing in the Attorney Cen
erals organized crime pro-
gram. Valachi's information
has served to confirm the
stature of the key men in the
mobs. 'i-
Possibly his greatest value,
however, lies in his confirming
the existence Of an overall
syndicate. This is the pattern
of "Cosa Nostra" as devel-
oped from Valachi and other
sources:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-04
Marked for Death

He told the agent that the
killing was a case of mistaken
identity. He said he had
learned via the prison grape
vine that the mob had marked
him for death and had as
signed . killer to do the Job
on suspicion that he had in
formed on the giant narcotics
ring. Ironically, Valachi had
not talked-not yet.
Valachi told the agent that
when a prisoner approached
him, he thought it was the
man assigned to kill him SO
he whacked him with a pipe
and the man died. It was only
afterwards, when he saw the
mans face that he realized ii
was the wrong one.
AS the narcotics agent lis
tened and tried to draw Va
lachi out. he realized that, the
fragments Valachi was volun-
teering in his efforts to extri-
cate himself from this mess
could have a far more wlde-
ranging significance. r.
Here, obviously, was a man
with an intimate, first-hand
knowledge Of the rackets. If
he could be persuaded to talk
perhaps for revenge on the
mob that had marked him for
death, perhaps for some rea-
son Of self-preservation-
could make an invaluable con-
tribution to the war on organ
lied crime.
The agents story went tc

the Federal Bureau of Mar
cotics, and from him to the

While the greatest source Of
revenue for the men Of "Cosa

and loan sharking, they, also
benefit heavily from extortion

Valachi's stories Of murder
have been offered to local au-

AS for the other crimes he

Long Arrest Record

Valachi, now so, American
born son Of italian imrni-
grants, had a record of arrests
for robbery, extortion, bur-
glary. gambling and narcotics
dating back to 1918. He had
served time for q Federal mar
cotics violation but had beaten
most Of the other cases. He
was, in other words, an old
timer in the mobs.
In May, 1859, two men were
arrested in New York as they
were about to deliver heroin to
a Federal Bureau Of Narcotics
undercover agent. One OF
those arrested turned out to
be one Of the largest interstate
dope traffickers and the trail
led from him to Valachi as
the man who had supplied
him with the heroin.
Valachi went into hiding
but was captured in Novem-
Der, 1859. He was convicted
jumped bond but finally sur
rendered and was sent to At
lanta Peniteptiary in June
1860, to serve is years.
Meanwhile, Federal mar
cotics agents, pursuing leads
from the earlier cases, broke
an International narcotics ring
which had smuggled an esti-
mated $3.50 million worth OF
heroin into the country in the
last 10 years. Their vehicle fol
smuggling was the false bot
toned trunks Of unsuspecting
italian immigrants.
Twenty-four members of the
ring were indicted and Valachi
was one of them. Before and
during the trial, however, one
of those indicted was shot tc
death in the Bronx and the
charred body of a second mar
was located in a field near
Rochester. N. Y.
Valachi was tried and con-
victed of narcotics conspiracy
He drew q 20-year sentence to
run concurrently with the ear
lier one.
On the morning Of June %
1862, Valachi killed q fellow
prisoner at Atlanta. After the
killing, he sent for a Federal
