Allegedly, the Erie Buffalo policy wheel had been owned by Leo Benvenuti and his brothers since the early 1940's. They later gave this to the Manno brothers who still paid the Benvenuti brothers a part and it was rumored to be run by one of the Frattos. Policy boss Sedes Flanagan had also allegedly been visited by the Manno brothers in his Piccadilly Inn (Flanagan was charged with Nick Manno in 1951) and they became his partners as well. Flanagan would be shot and killed 1952-02-01 by Maurice Taylor.

Kefauver hearings provide the following:
On August 21, 1941, the State's attorney of Chicago charged that Rocco DeStefano together with Harry V. Russell, prominent handbook operator, Peter Tremont, policy operator, Patrick Manno, policy operator, Max Caldwell, Milton Schwartz, and Maurice Margolis, had helped spend $910,000 looted from the treasury of local 1248, Retail Clerks Protective Association, union funds. No indictments were returned, however, and no further action was taken. Rocco DeStefano has had his name linked with that of Guzik, Charles and Rocco Fischetti, and other hoodlums as being friends of these persons.
Peter G. Tremont owns property in Miami Beach with Ralph Buglio and was associated with Max Caldwell. He is one of the big-shot policy racketeers on Chicago's South Side. In 1942 he was indicted along with other important members of the policy racketeers, namely, Julius Benvenuti, Edward Jones, George Jones, McKissick Jones, Pat Manno, Julian Black, and numerous others by the Cook County Grand Jury. This indictment charged conspiracy to operate a policy game.
On June 17, 1942, there was a finding of "not guilty" as to Tremont and other individuals indicted. Peter Tremont has operated in Chicago the Silver Wheel, the Ditto Wheel, and the Rome Wheel. He is a big automobile dealer on Chicago's East Side, too. I have the address in some of my other notes here.
Pat Manno, alias Patrick J. Manning, has been in the policy racket in Chicago for many years. He was indicted by the Cook County Grand Jury on January 30, 1942, as I mentioned a few moments ago, with others for conspiracy to operate policy rackets. He was found not guilty on June 17, 1942. The Texas Times Herald, Dallas, Tex., on December 19, 1946, linked Pat Manno with others in an effort by Chicago gangsters to take over $14,000,000 annual gambling and racket concession in Dallas County. Dallas authorities never arrested Manno, although others were arrested. It was charged by the State's attorney's office in Chicago on August 21, 1941, that Pat Manno together with the others that I mentioned a few moments ago had attempted to loot or actually spent a large amount of that $910,000 from the Retail Clerks Protective Association. On September 18, 1925, Pat Manno was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct and placed on probation for 1 year. It is understood that Pat Manno has been in association with a number of nationally known gangstersat hotels in Miami Beach, Fla., during the past season, and that Manno also owns a residence at 5812 Pinetree Drive, Miami Beach, Fla., which is in his wife's name, Dorothy Manning. Pat Manno also has listed as his permanent address 1439 North Franklin Street, River Forest, IL.
