Ogilvie, as well as IRS agents and special group colleagues, painstakingly studied mountains of records and questioned more than 5,000 people. The prosecution said there was no evidence that Ac Hoffman set punishment at six years in prison, $15,000 fines. "It is a technicality, but the law is clear on it.

The mob has used technicalities, so can we," said Ogilvie. Yet another technicality in the process of law finds Accardo free in $25,000 bond, pending outcome of an appeal.

"Accardo stays far from the guys who dirty their hands," says Morris. "It's hard to trace a dollar from some hustler or policy wheel to Accardo, but it gets there." How then was Accardo brought down? "This case would never have been brought except that our office had an interest in Accardo," says Ogilvie. The office he speaks of is the attorney general's special group on organized crime, which went out of existence at the end of 1960. "We wanted him. We thought we could get him on violations involving the Treasury Department or the FBI, but two big Investigations failed to give up anything solid.

During his trial, he repeatedly covered the hand with his right hand. In lighter moments, he used to call the bird "my little stool pigeon." "Accardo leads a fairly respectable family life and tries to fill the image of a conservative business executive," says Richard Ogilvie, the 37-year-old Justice Department prosecutor who directed the strategy against Accardo. "But he's also the man who was suspected of gunning Jake Lingle (a reporter with gangster ties) and being the chauffeur in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre (when seven men were rubbed out).
