Page of an FBI New York field-office report on Carlo Gambino. It relays a 15 November 1957 New York Daily Mirror article saying 62 men were "grabbed" at Apalachin on 14 November and that Gambino was present. The report's date is not on the page.

Part 03 of the FBI Vault's Carlo Gambino file, scan 39 (report page 31 by the damaged footer, section D.1). The file number NY 92-657 is printed at the top of the report. The report's date is not on this page, and most of the page is redacted.

The report says: "The 'New York Daily Mirror' of November 15, 1957, contains an article wherein it states that 62 top leaders of the dreaded Mafia, ruling crime syndicate of the United States, were grabbed by Federal Agents, State Police, and County officers on November 14, 1957, during a top-echelon conclave called to deal with mounting official pressure on their lucrative stranglehold on the nation's purse. According to the article, the meeting was held at Apalachin, New York, in Tioga County. There were present hoodlums from New York, New Jersey, Ohio, California, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and other points. CARLO GAMBINO was present at this meeting."

The wording is the newspaper's, relayed by the FBI, and the "62" is the paper's figure; it is not an FBI count and not a source for attendance. The court gives [58 stopped](/items/courtlistener-us-v-bufalino-285-f2d-408/), the committee witness [60](/items/mcclellan-part-32-crosswell-testimony-1958/), and the FBI monograph ["at least 61"](/items/fbi-vault-mafia-monograph-pt03-scan16-largest-meeting/). The page number 31 is read from a damaged footer and may be wrong; cite by scan.
