From a fun story over on Medill Reports:

"Chicago mortician Ernest Severino said he was too scared to say no when Outfit members Gerald Scarpelli and William "Butch" Petrocelli approached him for errands, over $50,000 and dozens of weapons. Severino also said he was partially clued-in to Petrocelli's murder, assumed to be ordered by the Outfit's hierarchy."
