Lawyers Plan to Fight Prison Term for Costello
New York attorneys for Frank Costello said they would pursue every legal move to avert a 18 months prison sentence for the notorious gambler who was convicted last April 4 of contempt of Congress. The U.S. Court of Appeals denied Costello's request for a re hearing of his appeal. U.S. Attorney Myles Lane said Costello, who has been free on a 5 dollar bond, will likely be asked to surrender next Thursday unless further action is taken.
