Larmour had died in 1901.
“He was undoubtedly one of the

Work on Old Main began in the
fall of 1873, but was off to a false

Gathright Hall, which stood until

The two buildings, plus several
faculty residences, were the A&M

The Main Building was des<?Hbed

“The main building stands on
the highest point of the grounds.
It is four stories high, made of
brick, with mansard roof and tow

“There are broad halls running
through each story at right angles

THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas

Talking Mobster
Reveals Death List
WASHINGTON (^—Joseph Va-
lachi, spilling the secrets of the
crime brotherhood called La Cosa
Nostra, told senators- Wednesday
that a gangland doublecross back
fired as overlords of the New
York mobs turned on each other in
a fierce battle for power.
He told of a secret list that
marked for doom such underworld
big shots of 30 years ago as A1
Capone, Frank Costello, Charles
“Lucky” Luciano, Vito Genovese,
Vincent Mangano and Dutch
Schultz.
And he told of the slaying of
Salvatore Maranzano, the man
who drew up the list, killed by his
rivals after a brief reign as Cosa
Nostra’s “boss of all bosses.”
Maranzano grabbed power, Va-
lachi said, after lieutenants of
rival boss Giuseppe Masseria
gunned down their own chief in a
Coney Island restaurant.
“His own lieutenants wanted to
do it themselves,” Valachi told in
vestigating senators. That ended
a 14-month gang war Valachi said
cost Masseria’s outfit 40 to 60
dead.
But five months later, Valachi
said, the same men got Maran
zano.
Back for the third chapter of
his tale of crime, Valachi told the
Senate Investigations subcommit
tee about a mass meeting of New
York hoodlums at which Maran
zano declared peace and installed
himself as the head man.
He described a five-night ban
quet which honored Maranzano
and his “soldiers” — and raised
$115,000 for the coffers of the Cosa
Nostra chief.
