On the record
- 15 October 1963 — Boston Police testimony to the Senate subcommittee: "Jerry is in constant contact with Raymond Patriarca through Henry Tamello." Police testimony, not a finding; the transcript spells the name Tamello.
- 14 October 1968 — Patriarca v. United States, 402 F.2d 314 (1st Cir. 1968): the First Circuit affirmed the convictions of Patriarca, Ronald J. Cassesso and Henry Tameleo for conspiracy to travel and use the telephone in interstate commerce with intent to commit murder to further an unlawful gambling enterprise.
- 1968 — Limone v. United States, 497 F. Supp. 2d 143: Tameleo, Peter Limone, Louis Greco and Joseph Salvati were convicted of the Deegan murder "based on the perjured testimony of Joseph 'The Animal' Barboza."
- 1985 — 497 F. Supp. 2d 143: "Tameleo and Greco died tragically as prisoners— Tameleo in 1985, Greco in 1995."
- 27 August 2009 — Limone v. United States, 579 F.3d 79: "In due course, the convictions of all four men were vacated." The court affirmed the United States' liability to the plaintiffs, among them Tameleo's estate.
The Deegan murder conviction was vacated, and a federal court found that it rested on perjured testimony that FBI agents knew about. It is not a basis for describing him. The 1968 conviction in the Marfeo conspiracy case was affirmed and is stated here as the court states it. “Enrico” is the form in the Limone opinions. No role is given because no opened federal record states one.
