I know zip about him. My grandfather's cousin, Mario Comito, came
here in 1926 and his Ellis Island record says that he was going to do
'business' with this man at that address. The immigration
authorities granted Comito a temporary visa. The TRUTH is that
Comito was going to NY City to take care of my grandfather who was
dying of tuberculosis. He died that Oct.
My grandfather was running from the police in Boston and was using an
assumed named while in NY City. Perhaps Castellana was 'hiding' my
grandfather? I don't know. My grandfather skipped bail later in
1923, left Boston with a girl friend (supposedly), left my
grandmother and their two small sons, and hid out in NY City. At
that time, the Boston authorities told my grandmother that they were
not going to go after him because he was so ill with TB. My
grandfather did not use his 'real' Sicilian name while in Boston so
it is not surprising that he was calling himself yet another name
while in NY. His death certificate is in that false name too.
