- Everyone goes running out of the house,

and you have like 75 mobsters just running into the woods,

running into the hills, trying to get out,

throwing money clips, throwing their guns.

"Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley just came out,

so it was probably playing on the radios everywhere.

in the small town of Appalachin, New York,

you have a meeting taking place with arguably the biggest,

in the history of the Mafia and law enforcement,

and this is the story of the day America met the Mafia.

Today we have references of the Mafia and organized crime

But back then, the Mafia was almost never discussed.

It was truly a secretive underground organization.

Even J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI,

refused to publicly acknowledge the existence of the Mafia.

But in reality, there's a war happening on the streets

So Lucky Luciano was, at the time, the boss of bosses.

He ran all of organized crime in New York City,

And because of that, they deport him back to Italy,

Now, Vito Genovese, being Lucky Luciano's right hand man,

from the other families in New York City.

Albert Anastasia from a different family, takes him out.

And with those guys gone, Vito Genovese can now

he decides, against the beliefs of all of his peers

in the underworld, that he wants to hold a meeting,

a conference, with all the bosses of all the families

because you don't meet in broad daylight all together.

But Vito is hard set on holding this meeting.

And they decide to do it in a small little remote town

But on this particular day, a local state trooper

by the name of Edgar Croswell, the quintessential lawman,

One of the local motels had a case of a fraudulent check.

they head over to the motel, just to fill out a report.

He's a big car guy, he's obsessed with cars.

And he knows the car, because the town is a very small town.

And he goes in, and coming out of the motel

is the son of Joseph Barbara, Joe Junior.

So Edgar Croswell, he asks the woman working at the motel,

"Well what name was put under the rooms?"

She tells him that it was paid for by Joe the Barber,

but the name that they put on all the rooms

is Carmine Galante, which rings a bell for Croswell

driving out of Appalachin in this same Cadillac.

they try to book him for having a fake ID and speeding,

and all of a sudden, some big hotshot lawyer from New York

Being, you know, stationed in the small town of Appalachin,

just a town of 200 people, they don't see much action,

or any activity, but he's been keeping track

of certain things that have been happening.

He's keeping clippings of all these Mafia headlines

He went out to dinner a couple nights before

There's been an influx of expensive cars in town.

So Croswell, his head's exploding right now.
