THREE-STAR EXTRA ~ Victor Riesel < Ce) - 10/28/57 -* . . t ° 4 The punishment fit the crime today for the, Lord G High Executioner of Murder, Inc. Alber’ nastasia was laid to rest in a grim little cemetary on outskirts of New York, and there were very few mourners. As a matter of fact, the caravan of newspapermen and newspaper photographers outnumbered the number of mourners. . But back in New York there was considerable activity, because it was learned that Albert Anastasia--the man who was reputed to have killed sixty-one people, or directed their murder--was under investigation again by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the agents had been grilling )pss for some three weeks at the direction of crusading U.S. Attorney Paul Williams. Last Tuesday, Three-Star Extra learned, Paul Williams brought together a new Grand Jury and told them that one of the men he was going after was Anastasia. This was about the time that the underworld was getting mighty weary of the Lora j High Executioner. For almost five years they H had been urging him to retire. For five years they considered him a liability, and in the opinion of the most 4nformed men in the Federal Government, it was this effort to dispatch Anastasia, to keep from new scandals breaking around that famous name--that name that was synonymous with violence--that finally led the underworid to hit him. Most of the Barons of the underworld are now mighty wealthy. They want no attention. They know that everytime a scandal breaks the Treasury Agents come down upon them, accountants rip their books -wide open, the police drag them in,and soon € everybody knows their pusiness. This time they — decided to dispatch Anastasia pefore the scandal broke. This is Victor Riesel. p 4 Cemeann Ho 7-% Pn Cote Ie Ken yy 2 68 NOV 81987 I
