\nbut hey are you wirecappers out there I have a story today it’s kind of a rehash I’ve been one of my old audio stories I did the uh just last week I think or a couple weeks ago now I posted a story on YouTube that was primarily uh audio and it was the story of it was an interview of a guy named Carlo Morelliwho was a guy that took Tony accardo’s daughter to the uh to her senior prom a couple other Accardo stories and it’s pretty interesting it’s kind of a one that once in a lifetime gig to get an inside information like that and Carlos deceased since I uh recorded that interview but somebody made a comment in the YouTube or the YouTube posting about and did you ever talk about Paul Rica or Paul the waiter who was a a Chicago boss out of the 40s and early 50s on up into the 60s who stayed way in the background a lot of people don’t know the name of
\n1:03
\nPaul Rican he was a really important guy
\n1:07
\nin in the Chicago outfit back in those
\n1:09

\n1:43
\nsuburb in Chicago anyhow they would sit
\n1:45
\nup there and people would come up and
\n1:47
\nand bring in envelopes and and they’d
\n1:50
\nmake decisions and he always stayed in
\n1:52
\nthe background with ocardo and and they
\n1:55
\nlet guys like Sam giancana be out front
\n1:58

\n2:01
\nrod for uh for the FBI and and they sat
\n2:04
\nback there and never went to jail again
\n2:05
\nalthough the government never really
\n2:07
\nquit trying to deport Paul Rica which I
