This is a colage of Police photographs of some of the major players in the Philadelphia/Camden areas. 

Sabella, being the first of all bosses in Philadelphia is pictured upper right. 

Avena would become the next and more organized boss. His style of order and heirarchy is reminiscent of the New York Families.

Taken after the murder of Pius Lanzetti in January of 1937. From left to right; Pasquale Massi, Harry "Nig Rosen" Stromberg. The Jewish Mobster got his name from his dark complexion. Raymond J. Boyle, and standing at bearly 5'3" the extremely powerful Under-Boss, Marco Reginelli. Although by far the shortest, Reginelli was the most feared and respected.

Another Police photograph taken for the May 30, 1927 murders. Left to right; Joe Ida, John Avena, and Luigi Quaranta.

Left: Leo Lanzetti. His rap sheet spanned from March 20, 1918 to Christmas of 1923 including everything from gambling, possession of narcotics, addiction, and selling narcotics. Leo was killed at the age of 32 by five masked men.

Middle: Pius.

Right: Willie.

The Lanzetti brothers.

Willie Lanzetti's body is taken away by police in Lower Merion.

December 31, 1936. Pius Lanzetti has just been shot hours before this photgraph was taken as a crowd gathers at 726 South Eigth Street in Philadelphia, PA.

A member of the Jewish mafia, Samuel "Cappy" Hoffman is pictured in this Police photograph, arrested as a "common gambler." The son of a Rabbi, his occupation was that of a "butcher," but he supposedly worked for "Murder, Inc."

Angelo Amato of  North Brunswick played a big part in the North Jersey Outfit and plays a very large part in the book.

Anthony "Musky" Zanghi had many enemies and accumulated many contracts on his life. The only question was who would take him out first. After all, that's what happens to a rat.

No one ratted on who killed Zanghi though. His bullett-riddled body was found in a New York restaraunt. Even Zanghi's contract murderer friend, Anthony "Stinger" Cugino didn't rat and soon met the same fate in the same city. 

Crossing the Organization is not recommended then and now.

Middle: This picture was taken for his United States citizenship of Domenico Pollina in 1936.

John "Nazzone"  (nickname due to his large nose) Avena pictured in 1930.

Ninth Street, on the right proved to be very profitable for Avena and his crew

The police report on Domenic Oliveto.

As written on the bottom of the document, Mr. Oliveto was one of the men who attended the infamous meeting in Apalachin in 1957 representing the Philadelphia/Camden territories. Oliveto assumed leadership, with the consent of the New York Families after the death of Marco Reginelli in 1956.

Oddly enough, Oliveto's mauseleum is about three feet from Reginelli's in Calvary Cemetary in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Both about thirty yards away from Antonio Mecca. Truly a small world, in life and apparently death.

Numbers runners used many different techniques to get the numbers to the office.

Some had small notebooks, some actually wrote their plays on chewing gun wrappers and folded them up again as to hide the evidence.

This runner is pretty brave by writing the numbers on his hand. 1938.

In 1917, Angelo (Bruno) Annaloro poses for his First Holy Communion.

Thirty-three year old Angelo Bruno poses for his police mugged shot. At the time Bruno knew the charges would be dropped as evidenced by the slight grin on his face. He had no worries concerning this charge of operating an illegal lottery.

A Police report on Bruno in 1956.

Just before being "made" into John Avena's "Family" in 1935.

In this photograph he poses with his new bride. 

This is the type of photo most remember of Angelo Bruno. The "Gentle Don" didn't like violence and kept things very much under control during his reighn as the Boss of the Philadelphia Mob.

Frank Sinatra and many of the other Rat Packers performed at Marco Reginelli's 500 Club in Atlantic City. It was quite a hot night club in it's day

The building no longer stands, but was located at the corner where the present day Trump Taj Mahal parking garage is now situated.

A dinner plate from the 500...

Newspaper clipping concerning a Reginelli run gambling operation. This shows that Reginelli's tentacles reached across the river, linking Philly and Camden. Trying to keep a realatively low profile, his empire is obviously growing.

Reginelli's last attempt at United States Citizenship. In Judge Fake's (quite the ironic surname) October 12, 1949 ruling, he cites Reginelli's involvement in the Mann Act as grounds for denial of US citizenship.

Marco in his last Police photo.

Marco's home (as it appears today) and where he rests forever with his brother.

The crypt is heavily fortified with bars and locks. Oliveri's mauseleum is not visible, but is located behind (not directly) on a caticorner to Reginelli.

One can still see flowers and other momentos attached to the bars from time to time.

The majority of my family is also interred in this cemetary.

The vast majority of these images are from Celeste Morello's three BEFORE BRUNO
