...necessary, did not bother Lepke, the Leopard. When he went in for financing heroin smugglers in a big way, he had already become quite used to having people rubbed out. Two years ago he dropped out of sight, jumped bail after being indicted with his partner, Jake ("Gurrah")* Shapiro, on racketeering charges. People who knew about him began disappearing, also. Two were murdered (one just up the street from Police Commissioner Valentine's home in Brooklyn). Last month a harmless Bronx inhabitant was murdered, apparently mistaken for another man whose knowledge the Leopard would not consider harmless (TIME...

Cahill catch other rich practitioners of the smuggling game at which he specialized was Albert Chapereau (Shapiro), who last week was sentenced to two years in jail for masterminding the crookery that got Radio Star Jack Benny and Comedian George Burns into the law's toils (TIME, April 17).

Promoter Albert Nathaniel Chapereau (Shapiro) kibitzed Paris, Broadway and Hollywood because: 1) he craved fine-feathered friends, and 2) the right people could help him promote his interests. He wanted Cafe Society recognition for himself and his wife, Paula. On Paula's wrist Radio and Cinema Comedian George Burns saw a nifty bracelet. Soon No. 1 Zany Gracie Allen (Mrs. Burns) had $4,885 worth of duty-free baubles like Paula's. Soon Supreme Court Justice Edgar J. Lauer's wife, Elma, had a duty-free Paris wardrobe just as pretty as Paula...

S. citizenship, imperturbed Mr. Chaperau observed: "My past is not a phonograph record...
