Christopher BalzanoHOST
Oh, it's just one algae swamp.
Christopher BalzanoHOST
In the 1920s Al Capone used to dispose of his opponents by dumping their bodies weighted down into this quarry pond and certainly over the years handguns have been recovered they drained this off it's like a swamp they found guns and even found the belief human remains so those stories about Capone are probably true but now it's just a morass it's just a swamp covered in algal slime and it's it's awful There's no life here at all.
Christopher BalzanoHOST
No life at all, everything is dead.
Christopher BalzanoHOST
And unfortunately too, oh, I say anything's dead.
Christopher BalzanoHOST
But yeah, it's pretty hideous here.
Christopher BalzanoHOST
It really needs to be cleansed, cleansed rather.
Christopher BalzanoHOST
Is there anybody here would like to say something? Any victims of Al Capone, his gang, or anybody else? you could tell me your name oh oh oh oh anesthetic the smell of anesthetic can you smell it you smell it it smells like the stuff you find that they use for cleans cleansing wounds
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Yeah, I can smell that.
Stephanie HaneyHOST
In December of 1928, two dozen well-dressed men caught the eye of a Cleveland police officer outside of the Statler Hotel in Playhouse Square.
Stephanie HaneyHOST
After jotting down their names from the hotel register and passing them off to the detective's bureau, the authorities realized they had stumbled upon a collection of Mafia members, right around the same time a telegram had come in warning that some of Al Capone's men were traveling to Cleveland for a meeting.
Stephanie HaneyHOST
Why did these gangland members choose Northeast Ohio for their summit? What were they here to talk about? And what happened to each of these 23 men after 75 officers descended upon the Statler to bust up their plans? These questions are the subject of author Don Billy's latest book, Cleveland Mafia Summit.
Stephanie HaneyHOST
Don is with us now to tell us the history of this unlikely meeting and what remains unknown.
6 MINS LATER
Stephanie HaneyHOST
And what did the newspapers say about this bust at the time?
Don BillieGUEST
That's, uh, interesting because at the time we had three newspapers here.
Don BillieGUEST
We had The Cleveland Plain Dealer, which still existed, Cleveland News, and Cleveland Press, and they weren't sure, so there were a lot of, um, varying headlines, but they all seemed to point to Al Capone.
Don BillieGUEST
Al Capone was the big name in organized crime from the 1920s, mid-1920s moving forward.
Joe ThomasHOST
Postal Service is not unwittingly partaking in mail fraud.
Joe ThomasHOST
Is that sort of really weird? Can you imagine the postmaster general getting arrested for willfully being complicit in mail fraud? was one of the things they got Al Capone on, tax evasion, mail fraud, bootlegging, murder for hire, extortion.
Joe ThomasHOST
Nah, we couldn't make any of that stick.
Joe ThomasHOST
You avoided your taxes and committed mail fraud.
Justin CavenderHOST
He
Randy Van DykeHOST
was Al Capone and it was fucking amazing.
Justin CavenderHOST
It was so good.
Justin CavenderHOST
I love that show.
MadisonHOST
It's so interesting to me, like when you learn about history, there are certain things you learn about in history, and you don't connect those two timelines in different places happening like at the same time.
MadisonHOST
So like I'm not thinking like, you know, this timeline in the South of what's happening, I'm not thinking of Al Capone gangsters at the same time.
MadisonHOST
And it's, it's weird to have those come into the same space and be like, "Oh, shit, I did not realize that that was happening at the same time in history."
Victoria MeleGUEST
Yeah, like-
Ken CarmanHOST
Mocking the disease.
Ken CarmanHOST

Ken CarmanHOST
That stuff's serious now, man.
Ken CarmanHOST
Yes, it is.
Ken CarmanHOST
Mocking the disease.
Ken CarmanHOST
Is that what Al Capone said? Just brazenly mocking it.
Ken CarmanHOST
That stuff's serious now, man.
Ken CarmanHOST
Yes, it is.
Fat BoyHOST
That's the triple auto card.
Fat BoyHOST
You got Meyer Lansky, Al Capone, and Lucky Luciano.
Fat BoyHOST
Yeah, dude, like,
MattmanHOST

Fat BoyHOST
That's the, that's the, uh, the triple auto card.
Fat BoyHOST
You got Meyer Lansky, Al Capone, and, uh, Lucky Luciano-
MattmanHOST
Yeah
Fat BoyHOST
... on the same card.
TravisHOST
Oh, like a wet poop.
