Testimony from the Kefauver Hearings: "
Joseph Aiuppa
was allegedly one of the owners of the Taylor Manufacturing Co. in Cicero. This company manufactures and supplies gaming-house equipment to gambling houses throughout the Nation. It ships a considerable amount of equipment to Nevada and other places.
Claude Maddox
, a public enemy and the member of the
Capone syndicate
, is also allegedly associated with Aiuppa in the Taylor Co. In other words, they get you coming and going. They manufacture the equipment and then operate it."
