William Aloisio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William "Smokes" Aloisio (b. 1906) was a Chicago mobster and "hitman" for the Chicago Outfit.
A former member of the Forty-Two Gang in Chicago, Aloiso's arrest record dated back to 1928. In 1945, Aloisio was sentenced to five years at Leavenworth Penitentiary, in Leavenworth, Kansas, for helping a relative, perhaps his son, avoid military conscription, during World War II. Aloiso had bribed U.S. Navy personnel in Chicago to make sure that his relative failed his physical examination.
