Missouri Governor Denies Binaggio Influence in His Office
Gov. Forrest Smith told a Senate crime committee that underworld figure Charles Binaggio had no sway in his administration. Testimony described Binaggio as powerful with 30,000 votes, but Smith said he never discussed state politics with Binaggio and denied attempts to influence the Kansas City police or McKittrick operations. Former police commissioners testified Binaggio sought to reshuffle the department and “open up the town,” while McKittrick claimed he was offered as much as 50 000 dollars to withdraw from the 1948 gubernatorial race.
