214, 3		 Nun hat Albert ... bei einem Pferdewettenmogeleitrick - Albert Gallos Aufstand gegen den Mafiaboß Joseph Profaci war inzwischen zugunsten von Joseph Colombo entschieden worden. Vgl. den Artikel »A. Gallo Arrested In Coercion Case« der NYT vom 24.10.1967: »Albert (Kid Blast) Gallo, who has been identified as a member of the Mafia in Brooklyn and another man were arrested by the Nassau County district attorney’s office today on charges relating to a ticket-cashing scheme at Roosevelt Raceway. [...] Gallo, who is 37 years old, and Musumeci were arrested about 7 A.M. at their homes in Brooklyn.« Gallo und Musumeci wurde vorgeworfen, Steuern auf die Wettgewinne hinterzogen zu haben; Musumeci: s.K. 343, 13.

213, 34 Albert Gallo (»Baby Knall«) - Albert Gallo (»Kid Blast«), geb. 1940, hatte mit seinem Bruder Joseph (»Crazy Joey«) und anderen Clan-Angehörigen eine Rebellion gegen den Mafiaboß Joseph Profaci angeführt; vgl. NYT 24.10.1967.

213, 35 Joseph Colombo - Joseph A. Colombo, New Yorker Mafioso; wurde 1964 vom Syndikat zum Chef des Profaci-Clans ernannt, nachdem er ein Komplott, die New Yorker Familienoberhäupter zu liquidieren, an das Syndikat verraten hatte. Weil er mit der von ihm 1969 gegr. »Italian-American Civil Rights League« zuviel »Aufmerksamkeit auf die italo-amerikanische Unterwelt« gelenkt hatte, wurde er »zum Abschuß freigegeben«, vgl. Gude Hohensinner (1998), S. 379. Er starb 1971 an den Folgen eines Mordanschlags s.K. 22, 28.

214, 4-20 Leo Held, 39 ... es wohl überleben - Vgl. den Artikel »Berserk Gunman Kills 6 Friends« der NYT vom 24.10.1967: »A crazed laboratory technician opened fire with two pistols in a crowded papermill here today, beginning a one-anda- half-hour shooting spree that left six dead and six wounded.
It took a score of policemen, taking careful aim, to shoot both guns from his hands and take him alive, though critically wounded.
The police, family and friends, all at a loss to explain what made Leo Held go berserk, said that until the 39-year-old father of four strode into the Hammermill Paper Company plant here with guns blazing he was known to all as ›a quiet peaceful man devoted to his family‹.
The police said Held shot five dead and wounded four others in the plant. Then he killed a sixth man and wounded two more in a trail of gunfire that took him to his home in Loganton, 17 miles southeast of Lock Haven.
An avid hunter and a good shot, he apparently knew his targets and went for them, the police said. With icy calm Held used a .38 caliber revolver and a .44 caliber Magnum [...].
The shooting, which began shortly after 8 A.M. lasted just a few minutes. Then Held, a 21-year employe of the Hammermill plant, quickly turned and walked out of the main door [...]. The six-foot 200-pounder’s next move gave the police what they thought was their first clue to a motive. The bespectacled, baldish former board member climbed into his station wagon at the plant and drove to Lock Haven Airport.
There he sought out Mrs. Geraldine Ramp, a neighbor in Loganton. He found her at the switchboard. It was then about 8:15 [...]. He fired several times into the office and managed to hit Mrs. Ramp twice [...].
The sixth victim was Floyd Quiggle, 27, a Loganton neighbor who was slain in bed. The police said Held apparently [...] shot Mr. Quiggle dead and wounded his wife as they lay asleep. An investigation by Capt. John Grey of the state police indicated that Held stayed a while at the Quiggle home, taking weapons and ammunition from Mr. Quiggle’s guncases. [...]
Mr. Lugg [District Attorney] said Held had had neither a mental problem nor a police record and was regarded as ›a respected citizen.‹ [...]
Though Held’s condition was critical, a doctor said, ›I think he’ll make it.‹« Loganton ist ein kleiner Ort nördlich von Harrisburg; vgl. DER SPIEGEL 30.10.1967, S. 164; Auerochs (1994), S. 226; s.K. 219, 28-33; 222, 11-13.

214, 21-26 Als gestern nachmittag ... mehr einen Krach - Vgl. den Artikel »Boy, 6, Kills Father As His Parents Argue« der NYT vom 24.10.1967: »A 6-year-old boy, disturbed by an argument by his parents yesterday afternoon, went to a closet, got a .22-caliber rifle, loaded it, and killed his father [...]. At the height of the argument [...] the Smiths’ oldest child, Randy, 6 [...] shot him just below the right shoulder.«

217, 23-31 In der Monterey ... harte Saftflaschen: Luftpost - In dem Artikel »City Is Fighting a Losing Battle Against Garbage Strewn Streets« der NYT vom 23.10.1967 heißt es: »In block after block of tenement slums, garbage rains unchecked from windows, roofs and doorways. [...] Peter Harper, the janitor at 2015 Monterey Avenue in the South Bronx, built himself a garbage shelter - a reinforced metal roof - over the back door leading into the building’s courtyard. ›Before, I’d get hit with something everytime I went in or out,‹ he said.«
Für die beschleunigte Müllabfuhr war in den 60er Jahren in NY »airmail» ein gängiger Begriff, den Johnson auch bei Lyford gefunden hat, vgl. s.K. 846, 16-21.
