The four men strolled smoothly back to the lift and joined their partner

history channel documentary The four men strolled smoothly back to the lift and joined their partner, who was guarding the lift administrator Louis Sella. Stella brought the five men down to the ground floor. He later told the police that the men had left the building, smoothly strolled to a stopped auto, got into the auto, and fled the scene. At the point when the police arrived minutes after the fact from the station house only 2 squares away, the executioners were no place to be seen. Sella depicted the five men as "right on time to mid-twenties, with dull skin and dim hair." Sella said the men were all "exceptionally sharp looking."

The police hypothesis was, that since no cash had been taken, this was an arranged hit on Officer De Castillia. On August 30, 1930, Galante, alongside Michael Consolo and Angelo Presinzano, were captured and prosecuted for the homicide of Officer De Castillia. Be that as it may, each of the four men were soon discharged because of absence of proof.

On December 25th, 1930, four suspicious men were sitting in a green vehicle on Briggs Avenue in Brooklyn. Police investigator Joseph Meenahan coincidentally was in the territory. He recognized the men in the vehicle, drew his weapon, and drew closer the car warily. One of the men yelled at Meenahan, "Stop in that spot copper, or we'll smolder you."
