SUMMARY OF TALK:
He wrote a book on the summit of national gangsters at Appalachin, New York near Binghamton. There was a hero from State Police and the victims all showed up in big cars, some were caught but did not know what to charge them with, but most later convicted of a conspiracy. That left Luciano as national head of gangsters.
