Tully seeks peaceful surrender after mob witness role
John Patrick Tully, once a Mafia hit man tied to the Campisi Family, became a state witness but now remains in solitary for protection after an attempted killing and lighter sentences for those he helped convict. He fled to Venezuela in 1971 and briefly hid before FBI action, while another former witness received a new identity. The piece also mocks Pennsylvania snow plow policy and bets on Milton Shapp and Jacob Kassab visiting Corry to hear the rule.
