Registered to Mr. Charles Ross
Present: Charles "Lucky" Luciano alias Charles Ross. Meyer Lansky. Frank Costello. Joseph "Socks" Lanza.

"So Charlie what are we going to do about Chicago?"
"I don't know Meyer. What are you talking about?"
"You know. The wire. We have to do something about Annenberg. Nitti is putting out a hit on him because he won't let the Outfit have a taste of the race wire."
"I heard that it is a done deal. The word is out. That jewboy is keeping all the cabbage for himself. That ain't right Meyer. He is your lansman. You need to set him straight."

"Not every Jew knows each other Frank. I have no influence with him. Plus we have other problems. There is a lot of heat  coming down on Chicago. They have been hiding some of those two bit hayseed gangsters. I know they are making a lot off the vig they charge for washing the money from the bank jobs they are pulling. The cops are making a lot of noise. Especially the Feds."
"What do you mean the Feds? Don't still have that photo of the finoick Hoover sucking the gagootz of that other faggot Tolsen?"
"We do Charley but we don't like to threaten him with it all the time. You never know how one of them will jump. They are unpredictable. He might quit or something. We need to leave that in our back pocket until we need it. You know Chicago Socks. I know you are buddies with the Waiter. Wadddaya think?"
"Well Frank I don't know why we want to get involved. The are all cafones over there. They are touchy fucks. Let them sort themselves out. It ain't our business."
"Still they know too much about the Commission business. If we let them get jammed up with the Feds who knows what will  happen. I think we need to throw the G-men a bone to get them off their backs."
"Well I have an idea Charley/"
"What's that Meyer?"
"Why not let the Feds catch one of these hillbilly gangsters the next time they are hiding out in Chicago. I hear that Dillinger is there all the time. If we serve him up to the Feds they will get the headlines they need and they will back off and we can concentrate on the race wire and the other stuff we got going. The Waiter can give up Dillinger. That ought to satisfy that cocksucker Hoover."
"Just make sure that it is permanent Meyer. You don't want him in the Feds hands. He might sing."
"Hey is it true what they say?"
"What's that Socks?"
"Dat Dillinger got a gigantic piesca deale?"
"How the fuck do I know. Why does that matter."
"If Hoover finds out he might marry him or something. Or at least make him a FBI agent."
"Good point Frank. Socks reach out and tell them to make sure that they clip him. I don't want any loose ends."
