#OTD in 1929: In early morning hours, gunmen burst into a #BronxNY dinner honoring local Magistrate Albert Vitale, rob the attendees, flee. Much of the loot is later quietly returned. Investigators quickly learn that a number of Tammany-linked mafiosi were among the robbery victims. #MafiaHistory #Histodons
