    Rick, I would suggest reading some of my books about organized crime in early Los Angeles or watching my lectures at the Las Vegas Mob Museum. Most of your comments in this interview about Mickey Cohen and my great grandfather Jack Dragna contain the usual errors. Also, during the 1920s, Lincoln Heights was known as Little Sicily and Boyle Heights had a HUGE Sicilian population.

      That's true. During the fruit peddlers war of the 1910's East side clover backed up Tony Matranga and his College Park Gang and Alpine street and Dogtown were behind Joe Ardizzone and his North End Gang. They were some of the first members brought into the family after New York gave Ardizzone permission to transform his gang into a Mafia family probably around 1920-21

      Dragna wasn't the first boss in Los Angeles. Jack attained his throne by double crossing his family boss Joe Ardizzone in 1931 and before Joe Ardizzone was the Matranga family in the 1880s who were running things and who were also his cousins. All from Piana del Greci in Sicily. The Matrangas lived on Ave 19 in Lincoln heights and Joe Ardizzone lived on Ave 18. After the fruit peddlers war of 1906 Ardizzone became the first true boss of Los Angeles.

      The Matranga family were here in Los Angeles in the 1880s and Joe Ardizzone and his brothers were running their North End Gang in 1900s took control of Lincoln Heights, Boyle Heights, and the plaza. After prohibition the family flourished and into the 1950s and 60s they completely controlled San Diego too with a large crew there. They also had a crew in San Bernardino county and Palm springs.

      @@dottyspotty9835 sounds like you're referring to the 1920s. It's true the Los Angeles police did take control of a lot of the rackets in Los Angeles. They were using a front man who was a gangster by the name of Albert Marco. He was sent to San Quentin and his remaining right hand man was executed by Joe Ardizzone who eventually regained control of all the rackets after the collapse of the corrupt police department.
