Chart B was presented by Deputy Chief Inspector Shanley on October 8, 1963. The contents of Part 1 place it at printed page 274; in this copy it is bound after printed page 294. It was scanned in three segments, at NCJRS PDF pages 314 to 316. The image stored here is PDF page 315, a double-width page that carries the heading and the top of the chart.
The chart is headed “Lucchese Family.” It labels Gaetano Lucchese, alias “Three Finger Brown” and “Tommy Brown,” as boss. Stefano LaSalle is labelled underboss, and Vincent John Rao is in the box labelled “Consiglieri.” Below them are the caporegime and the “Soldiers—Buttons,” each with a photograph, a number and activity codes. A star marks the names identified by Valachi. Chairman McClellan stated: “On this chart (chart B) there are 53 names.” The third segment, PDF page 316, has been checked only through the text layer.
This is a subcommittee exhibit. The names, ranks and relationships printed on it are the labels of a 1963 police or staff chart. They are not findings of the subcommittee or of a court, and this archive does not copy any of them onto a family page or a person page. The scan is the Bureau of Narcotics library copy of the printed hearings. The fold-out was photographed in overlapping segments, so a name at the edge of one segment may be cut off and repeated on the next.
