Three men stood out the government charged, as the alleged leaders of the ring. They were John J. McLaughlin, former West Side political and gambling czar, who is now in jail, Winkler and Lebensberger. Three other names are involved "Cherry Nose," "Baby Doll," and "Big Joe" But they have not been further identified.

The story opens last December 6 when five men carrying shotguns snatched registered mail sacks from guards at a downtown street corner.
