Flynn now had enough proof to capture Morello, Saietta

history channel documentary hd In November of 1909, with Petrosino officially dead, Saietta came back to New York City. With his legal counselor Charles Barbier close behind, Saietta walk into the insolvency collector's office and told a story of why he had all of a sudden left New York City. Saietta said he had been sent a Black Hand coercion letter, and dreading for his life, he fled to Baltimore, then Buffalo, before spending the last couple of weeks at his sibling's supermarket in Hoboken. Saietta contracted a phalanx of legal advisors to battle his loan bosses, and he came back to his old frequents in New York City, associating with Morello and the other Black Handers. What Saietta did not know was that Inspector Flynn had his men taking after Saietta as well. One day, they tailed him to Highland, New York, and bingo, now they knew where the fake bills were being printed.

Flynn now had enough proof to capture Morello, Saietta, and a few other Black Handers who were in on the forging operation starting in Highland, New York. Nonetheless, Flynn would not like to capture the minor players initially, on the grounds that he dreaded Morello would be tipped off and remain in isolation. From his reconnaissance on Morello, Flynn knew Morello now lived in a dwelling working at 207 East 107 Street. Be that as it may, Flynn did not know in which condo Morello dwelled. One of Flynn's agent was 17-year-old Thomas Callahan, who had been acting like a shoeshine kid on 107th Street.
