Valachi testifies on Genovese links and murder vow
Gaengeter Joseph Valachi told Senate investigators he was a killer for Vito Genovese in the New York job but faced the “kiss of death” from Genovese in a federal prison. The 66 year old grandfatherly figure described killing a fellow convict in 1962 at Atlanta when he believed the man was Genovese’s assassin, while saying he received no help from Genovese’s riot unit, La Cosa Nostra, in legal troubles. He described killing for them as part of mutual protection and business.
