The following letter is one that I retrieved from the archives of Ontario, and is in fact the witness statement of John Zezare taken by the police and used at Jimmy's trial. The pencil notes on the letter appear to be those of the crown attorney written during the actual trial. In the statement Zezare explicitly states that he saw Jimmy shoot Alex Dutki.

The last hand written words refer to Constable Greenaway pointing out where Dutki stood in relation to Giovinazzo.

Jimmy (Vincenzo) Giovinazzo was hung on John Zezare's sworn testimony, not on my falsification of history 81 years later.

Hi Jerry, my name is Lou Silvestro, I am a descendant of my great, great grandfather Frank Silvestro, he would have been born around 1870, my father was Giuseppe Silvestro born 1905, he had two other brothers, MICHAEL and Frank, I think my great, great grand, fathers brother was ANTONIO SILVESTRO, all from SAN GIORGIO MORGETO, my father migrated to Australia in 18/4/1927, on the Regina D'iTALIA, it would be great to know if any of my relatives were involved in the SGM mafia, so I don't understand where people get upset when you trying to tell the history, there are scores of documentarys about world war two and so on, I think you are doing a marvelous job and don't let anyone tell you otherwise keep the good work up.
