#OTD in 1946: Authorities moved #Mafia leader Salvatore #LuckyLuciano Lucania from Sing Sing Prison to Ellis Island in preparation for his deportation to Italy. #Lucania had served about ten years of a 30- to 50-year sentence for compulsory prostitution. #NewYork Gov. #Dewey commuted the remainder of the sentence, believing Lucania had been of some sort of service to the U.S. military during #WWII. #MafiaHistory #Histodons
