On March 2, 1944, he executed

Form AR-2-A (Alien Registration) and admitted having been -

This matter had previously been pre-

On July 10, 1942, a question

and answer statement was taken from one FRANCESCO PETROLO in

connection with a violation of the Immigration Laws.

Mr. PETROLO stated that he owned the Star Cigar Store at 136 North

Sixth Street, Steubenville, Ohio, and that in the rear of this

store a gambling business was operated by JAMES TRIPODI.

During an investigation conducted in connection with one BRUNO

TEGANO, information was

obtained that said BRUNO TEGANO was

employed as a "pick-up" man for one "JIM." who operated a

lottery at the Star Cigar Store, North Sixth Street, Steubenville,

Ohio.

The persons who gave the

information subsequently ad-

mitted to INS officials that the "JIM" to whom they had re-

ferred was "JIMMY TRIPODI."

Petition until the date of his admission,
