Story of NYPD Lieutenant Murdered By Mafia in Sicily & The Black Hand in the US

NYPD Lt. Joseph Petrosino was a brave detective who was assassinated by the mafia in 1909 in Palermo, Sicily for his work investigating the Black Hand and the Mafia. This was a rough and tumble period in the NY and other cities. Immigrants from Italy and Sicily were coming into the US in boat loads and the Black Hand promised to protect them. We also talk about Vito Cascio Ferro who allegedly plotted to kill Lt. Joeseph.
