at PROFACI's orders.

The 1937 Newark City Directory lists a DOMENICO

D'AMICO as Director of the D'Amico Macaroni Company, 34 Drift

Street, Newark. GASPARE is listed as President of this

files, number 247, 248 and 249. These files showed that

VINCENZO TROIA, his stepson, JOSEPH TROIA, and FRANK LONGO,

of 109 North 15th Street, Bloomfield, New Juisey, were murdered

at 10:57 AM, 8/22/35, in a candy store located at 317 South

6th Street, Newark, N. J.

An article appearing in the "Newark Evening News"

on 8/23/35 noted that VINCENZO TROIA was reported to be the

operator of the Two Eagles Italian lottery, one of four such

lotteries operated in the City of Newark.

The bodies of

VINCENZO and JOSEPH TROIA were claimed by Brooklyn undertaker,

CHARLES C. CATALANO, and were shipped to Italy for burial.

The above information is submitted to assist in the

evaluation of that furnished by NY T-2 in referenced report,

7/1/63. Although informant's information concerning the fact

that D'AMICO and the TROIAs met violent deaths is substantially

correct, it does not appear that TROIA could have been

responsible for D'AMICO's death since TROIA was himself killed

eighteen

months earlier.

Cases have been opened to identify and determine

the activities of Dr. PHILIP NOTO, DANNY NOTO, FRETCHIE (LNU)

On August 210 1063,

NK T-l advised he had had a

telephone call from PATRIARCA who told him to "be ready,"

and that the two guys from Chicago were in Long Branch, New

Jersey

The informant assumed that these persons knew

how

to get in touch with him but had not done so as yet.

this time, the informant reported that he had no details how

the presumed assassination would be accomplished nor did

he know the identity of any of the individuals who would

participate. His role as hesaw it was to act as a driver only.

On September 4 and 5, 1963, NK T-l advised that

although he was under the definite impressic that it was

PATRIARCA's intention to "take care" of JOSEPH VALACHI.

he

has heard nothing further from bim and now assumes that

PATRIARCA has decided that the plan is not feasible at

this

time.

Informant was contacted on September 9, 12 and

20, 1963,

and in each instance stated that he has heard nothing

from

• PATRIARCA nor from anyone else on this matter. NK T-1

gave his assurance that he would promptly report further

developments.
