the sports world contacts from which
Ganz builds the odds on sporting
events. Manny Weisbord told Luca to
negot-ate first before taking action,

im a limb, Ne was further out than he
knew, because Lieutenant Michael
Torelio and the MCU had Holman under
surveillance and tailed him ro Saint
Lowis Torello caught Holman in the
act of stealing Ganz's book and
carrying evidence linking him ro the
Novak murder. If indicted, Holman
would roll over and give Torello Ray

extradition request and a warrant,
Holman convinced a Saint Louis Sheriff
to le: him go on his own recognizance,

00:00 RECAP ANNOUNCER (WO)-Chicago 1963 Last week on
Grime Etory, Ray Luca's scheme for a
nationsl gambling operation centered on
buying the Las Vegas sports book owned
by Noah Ganz, a major Nevada oddsmaker
Acting on his own, Luca ordered Frank
Holman to Saint Louis to steal a book
from Ganz's home The book contains
the sports world contacts from which
Ganz builds the odds on sporting
events Manny WeLebord told Luca to
negotiate first before taking action,
and Ray Luca realized that he vas out
ina limb He was further out then he
knew, because Lieutenant Michael
Torello and the MCU had Holman under
surveillance and tailed him to Saint
Louls, Torello caught Holman in the
act of stealing Ganz's book and
carrying evidence linking him to the
Novak murder Tf indieted, Holman
would roll over and give Toretio Ray
Luca
But before Torello could obtain an
oxtrad:tion request and a warrant,
Holman convinced a Saint Louis Sheriff
to let him go on his own recognizance
Holman promptly fled Saint Louis and
escaped from Torello He is now a
wanted fugitive. What has not escaped
Torello, however, is the book Ray Luca
had Mo.man steal, It is in Michael
Torello's possession and Ray Luca is in
trouble Tonight, on CRIME STORYCRIME STORY - THE WAR PAGE 2

I was there at the Waldorf Astoria in 1933,
when Luciano, Anastasia, Lence, Costello,

And it all became an organization for the
first time, This is a business, like any
other business Methods, what, what
methods? The methods are the same as the
Garnegies and the Morgans vhen they started.
You stow me the sin in giving people what
they want and taking @ bee and making money.
Te'e g business, that’s all, Like any other
business
ABRAMS (VO)-I don't want any part of that
business, I've seen all the justice aoney
can buy Who I'm most taterested in
defending: people with the wrong color skin,
poople who live on the wrong side of tow,
people who speak the wrong language.

anything? He's just a punk from the patch,

ABRAMS-Nobody else out there accused of any crimes?
TORELLO-Sure there is, but not for you. You're
your father's son and you're victimized by
that. Luca figures, ‘born to the outfit,
die to the outfic'. You don't have the full
spectrum of the legal profession before you.
You can forget about that. The Lucas of the
