Illegal Boxing Promotion The New York State Athletic Commission between September 14 and September 22, 1959, conducted hearings concerning the PATTERSON-JOHANSSON title bout, June 23, 1959. On September 14, 1959, WILLIAM ROSENSOHN testified that he first met TONY SALERNO in April. 1958, when GILBERT BECKLEY called him and told him to come over to the Hampshire House to meet a man influential in boxing. ROSENSOHN stated that when he arrived there was TONY SALEBNO, FRANK ERICKSON, GUS D'AMATOand about 10 or 12 others. Later that same night at dinner, ROSENSOHN stated that he sat next to SALERNO and asked him to put a word in with D'AMATO helpto Teleprompter Corporation to secure the theater rights to the forthcoming PATTERSON¢HARRIS fight. SALERNO stated "Oh sure" and advised that CHARLIE BLACK, a very close friend of D AMATO'swould do anything that SALERNO wanted him to do. ROSENSOHN testified that he had no further contact with SALERNO until September, 1958. At that time, he owed JACK HURLEY,a promoter, $25,000.00 as a result of HURLEY's assistance in promoting the PATTERSON HARRIS fight. ROSENSOHN testified that he had not requested this assistance but had taken HURLEY on only at D'AMATO'sinsistence and had lost $5,000.00 on the promotion. As a result he was attempting to have HURLEY settle for a lesser amount. He testified that CHARLIE BLACK suggested he call SALERNO to straighten the matter out. ROSENSOH advised that in September he called SALERNO, who came over to his apartment while SAM RICHMAN was HgRLEYthere helping should HURLEY.settle SALERNO for $10,000.00 allegedly toldleave and RICHMAN ROSENSOHN that a one. .. .. I ' 1 w NY 92-1099 ROSENSOHN testified that he did not actually hear this as he was in the bedroom but that SALERNO told him this when he came out. He stated that SALERNO added that if the PATTERSON-JOHANSSON fight, which ROSENSOHN was trying to promote, should come off, ROSENSOHN should give HURLEY an additional $2,500.00. 92 ROSENSOHN testifiedthat after going to Sweden, and signing up JOHANSSON,he faced a $10,000.00 forfeiture if he did not sign PATTERSON within 40 days. In October, 1958, he received a call from TONY SALERNO who wanted to meet him. ROSENSOHN testified that atthis meeting SALERNO offered to help in getting D'AMATO to sign within the time period and also offered to participate in the promotion, however, nothing specific was worked out at that time. ROSENSOHN testified that in November, 1958, he met with SALERNO and BLACK and at that time SALERNO stated he would put up all of the money for the promotion with the profits to be split l/3 to him, L/3 to ROSENSOHN and 1/3 to BLACK. ROSENSOHN testified that in the mean time, the 40 days expired, however, an extension of time was secured. In January, 1959, ROSENSOHN testified he returned from Sweden and received a call from SALERNO, who stated that VINCENT J. VALELLA would represent SALERNO and take over the promotion from his standpoint. SALERNO wished to set up a company and have VALELLA front for him. A meeting was suggested for January 20 in VALELLA's office. ROSENSOHN testified that this meeting was held and was attended by himself, VALELLA, SALERNO, and CHARLIE BLACK. According to ROSENSOHN, SALERNOdid all the talking and stated that VAEELLA under his direction would _ 33 _ 1- 1 Y 1 92 92 ' NY 92-lO99 put up $25,000.00 and that BLACK could start drawing $150.00 weekly, in March. VALELLA was to have sole power to sign checks. At this meeting, corporation papers were drawn up and signed for the incorporation of "Allstar Sports". ROSENSOHN testified that he then decided he would not want BLACK to be an paper as a partner because of BLACK's association with D'AMATO. It would appear that D*AMATO was participating as both manager and promoter. ROSENSOHN testified that SALERNO agreed with him and new papers were drawn up listing one of VALELLA'ssecretaries as a partner although it was understood this was BLACK's share. At this time, RCSENSOHN testified SALERNO also gave him $10,000.00 in one hundred dollar bills for liv ing expenses. This was a personal loan and not part of the promotion. Also at SALERNO'ssuggestion, ROSENSOHN and VALELLA were to concoct a story as to where they had met and it was decided that they had met at a Republican Meeting. ROSENSOHN testified that on January 29, 1959, the fight contracts were signed. JOHANSSON had arrived January 23 and agreed to HARRY DAVIDCW as his American manager. Contract provided he should accept American manager approved.by D'AMATO! ROSENSOHNfurther stated that he then entered into an argument with FALELLA concerning the contract and his refusal to assign it to Allstar Sports. As a result, he commented dealing with the ZECKENDORF family who entered into the promotion. According to ROSENSOHN, SALERNO did not object inn: D'AMATO did, stating that he was only protecting BLACK*s interest. .. 311... I I C Q NY 92-1099 -- However, on May 14, the ZECKENDORFs publicly stated they were not involved in the promotion and agreed to accq$:5OO one hundred dollar tickets against the $43,000»OO advanced by them. I ROSENSOHN testified on May 14, he called SALERNO and met with him and BLACK at Cass Franklin's place on 57th Street. SALERNO was eager to go ahead as planned. Later the same day VALELLA, BLACK, SALERNO, BECKLEY, and L ROSENSOHN met at the Hampshire House, where it was agreed to go ahead if they could have the books of Rosensohn Enterprises. " On May 22, ROSENSOHN stated he met with BLACK, SALERNO, VALELLA, and BECKLEY after the Athletic Commission had turned down DAVIDOW as American manager. This meant D'AMATO wouldnot control JOHANNSON through his choice of managers. ROSENSOHN testified that on June 3, 1959, he met with SALERNO and others in the Republican Club on 116th Street. He further testified that on June 9, 1959, VALELLA picked up 532 one hundred dollar tickets which were not to be returnable. D AMATO picked up 250 tickets two - days prior to the fight. VALELLA returned 400 tickets, 130 of which were presumably D'AMATO's.ROSENSOHN testified that on June 18, 1959, SALERNO called him and at a subsequent meeting with VALELLA and BLACK at Mo Carthy's Steak House, he was induced to waive all ancillary rights to the fight. Also at that time VALELLA took out stock certificates in Rosensohn Enterprises and had ROSENSOHN endorse them on the back. He kept two and'thengave ROSENSOHN one. .. .. 7 ' n g NY 92~1099 ROSENSOHN testified that on June 22,it was agreed that 200 working press tickets would be sold and the money distributed. On the Monday or Tuesday after the fight, he stated SALERNO and BECKLEY gave him $1,000.00 or $1,300.00 as his share. SALERNO advised ROSENSOHNthat he would have VAIELLA give him $16,400.00 for additional tickets. On July 1%, 1959, after VALELLA had publicly announced he was a majority stockholder in Rosensohn Enterprises, ROSENSOHN stated he called him and wanted to speak to TONY. VALELLA then said "who is EOEY" and from that time on has denied any association with SALEENO. In subsequent testimoney, BLACK, BECKLEY, and VALELLA while admitting knowing SALERNO have denied he participated in the promotion. As a result ofthe hearings, ROSENSOHN was suspended as apromoter for three years. GUS A'AMATO, integer of Former World'sHeavyweight Champion FLOYD PATTERSON had license revoked. According to the "New York Daily Mirror , a daily New York newspaper, edition of December 10, 1959, VALELLA was indicated on two counts of perjury for having lied to the State Athletic Commission on September 15, 1959, and also on August 10, 1959, to the Grand Jury. On the first count, according to the article, the indictment sets forth that SALERNO in the presence of VALELLA madea payment of $10,000.00 to ROSENSOHN. It is charged that VALELLA testified falsely before the Athletic Commission when he denied hearing any conversaticn regarding the $10,000.00. The second count alleges that the lawyer lied to the Grand Jury when he denied there was any discussion of awarding CHARLIE BLACK, a former fight manager, and confidant of D AMATO, an equal l/3 interest with VALELLA and ROSENSOHN in Allstar Sports, Incorporated. it .- _ 1 .4 NY 92-1099 On December10, 1959, VALELLAwas arraigned in Special Sessions Court where he entered a plea of not guilty and was released on $1,000.00 bail. On December l6, 1959, representatives of the New York District Attorney s Office, secured service on SALERNOin Miami under the Unifornwitness Act for an appearance beforethe New York Grand Jury for questioning regarding his part in the title fight promotion. The service was arraignedthrough SALERNO'sattorney, BERNARDFRANK, who had been in touch with the District Attorney'sOffice in New York. On December 20, 1959, Dade County Circuit Court Judge MARSHALL WISEHART refusedto order SALERNO returnedto New York on the grounds that to return him from Florida by the ordinary course of travel, SALERNO wouldhave to be taken through Georgia. Georgia is one of the states that has not signed the Uniform witness Act. An appeal on behalf of New Yorkauthorities is being entered by JACK WOOD ofthe Florida State Atttorney s Office. It is noted that Judge MARSHALL NISEHARTwas the same judgewho in l9A6 granted SALERNOa divorce from his wife. NY T~4 adyised that his experience in the past with Miami, Florida, officials has causedhim to be very wary in his dealings withthem. He stated that BERNARD FRANK, SALERNO s attorney,advised him that there would be no trouble. NY T-4 said he expected a certain amount of resistance from Miami Officials. NY T 4 said that he was advisedby representatives of the State Attorney sOffice, that the Judge whowas to hear the matter, JudgeMARSHALL WISEHART, was all right . NY T~4 stated however, that as the hearing progressed,he formed a very definite opinion from WISEHART-s actionin court that a good fix" was in. As an example, NY T~A, cited the Judge's reasoning in refusing to return SALERNOto NewYork, when the Judge reasoned that in the normalcourse of travel from Miami to NewYork, it wouldbe necessary to go through the State of Georgia. Inasmuch asGeorgia doesnot recognizethe Uniform WitnessAct, the Judge refusedto return him to New York NY T A _ _ 37 _ I I I I . NY 92-1099 related that it was stated in court for the record that SALERNO would be returned by sea in a sufficiently circuitous route so that he could not possibly come in contact with the State of Georgia. when the court refused to consent to this it was then offered to return SALEBNO by air, and at an altitude sufficiently high so that in the event the pane were forced down it woulinot come into contact with the State of Georgia. NY T-h said that Judge finally made some comment in reference to the shooting of missiles from Cape Canaveral and how they might in someway force SALERNO down. The Judge also refusedto define what he meant by the normal course of travel. NY T 4 noted that Florida is bounded by Georgia and Alabama neither of which have recognized the Uniform Witness Act, therefore,under this ruling it is extremely difficult to return any person from Florida, making Florida even more of a haven for the underworld. Assistant District Attorney FRANK CLARK, New York City, advised on June 22, 1961, that VINCENT J. VALELLA was acquitted of two perjury counts by a Jury directed to do so by Acting General Sessions Judge BENJAMIN GROSSMAN. Judge GROSSMAN directed the Jury action after refusing to accept a tape recording offered in evidence by the prosecution - 38 _ 7 0 I 0 0 NY 92-1099 B, Gambling,Activities I.

Informant suggested that FAT TONY SALERNO can also be observed, on a daily bases, hanging around the Seagull Hotel, Miami Beach, Florida, and is taking big action betting on baseball. On June 2%, 1960, informant advised that SALERNO bet heavily on FLOYD PATTERSONwithin the last six hour period before the fight, and of course, when PATTERSON won, SALERNO realized a large sum of money. ... .- V 7 P N1 0 NY 92-1099 NY T-6 advised on June 21, 1960, that all the moneywhich is collected in the Harlem area, is eventually turnedover to FATTONY SALERNO who is the big numbers manin the East Harlem New York City area.
