He said, "I told my son that if he lost, don't feel too bad because I have been around, and I can take it."
In two trials, the Outfit crew used Williama B.J. Jahoda, who had been Solly DeLaurentis’ driver. He also owned the Long Grove, Illinois home where the crew murdered Hal Smith. Jahoda testified that he was ordered to bring Smith to his house for a "talk." Instead, Bobby Salerno, Robert (Bobby the Gabeet) Bellavia, and Louis (Louie Tomatoes) Marino murdered Hal Smith.
