But it doesn't say a single thing about helping the Democrats and Daley steal the 1960 election, not with Cain's name mentioned anyway. Nothing of the sort. Does Skolnick think we won't read the stuff he cites? Cain was alleged by Chuck Giancana to be Sam Giancana's "interpretor," while he was living in Mexico city. "Conversly, for a person who was percieved by the uninformed as a mere cop turned gangster, Ricahrd Cain in 1966 was fast seeing his life become a heaven. Chuck learned form other gusy int he outfit that Cain was proving to have an outstanding number of international contacts, a d was putting some of them to work for Mooney in Mexico, where he introduced the Chicogo mafioso tot he President, JOrge Castillo. Cain and Mooney were also solidifying relationships with wealthy pro-Untied States power-brokers in Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Panama, th4e Dominican Republic, Haiti, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, British Honduras,Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. It was to be an all-out, no holds barred Latin American push. Mooney settled into a lavish Mexico Ctiy apartment arranged by Castillo and went right to wrok, drawing on tactics he's honed sine the days of Diamond Joe Esposito, as well as on the expoertise and mommoth resources of the recently formed CIA team of assassins and operatives specifically trained for Latin America clandestine operations. CIA insiders dubbed the team the "White Hand," kiddingly at first, an allusion to their joint venture with Mooney and the Outfit, or "Black Hand." With his interpretor Richard Cain at his side, Mooney wisked from country to country in a whirlwind effort to develope the necessary political alliences. According to Outfit guys Chuck talked with, at the same time Mooney and Cain were setting up gambling junkets in Latin American coastal countries, they were pursuing the lucrative narcotics and munitions smuggling and money laundering schemes.... The FBI might have desired to maintain its surveillance of Sam Giancana as he made his way around the globe, hte multilingual Dick Cain at his side, bu tChicago agents were forced to content themselves with lesser members of the OUtfit as their prey. Unfortunately for Cain, he was one of them. As part of a federal investigation, twenty-four Outfit members were indicted in 1967, among them Mooney's erstwhile interpreter. Going back to Illinois to handle business for his boss, Cain was nabbed by federal agents on charges to wait tria, and in 1968 Cain, along with Wille Potatoes Daddano, was convicted and sentenced to prison. Wille got 15 years, and CAin, rumored to have been aided by his agents and friends, managed to scrape by with 4... Given his behavior, no one was suprised when Richard Cain was murded on Decmber 20, 1973. Obviously, he's shot his mouth off one too many times; authorities ruled his dath a gangland slaying and hte case was closed. But for Chuck, Cain's actions and hte deatils of his murder raised some disturbing quesitons. Given his involvement witht he CIA and hte FBI and according to Mooney, in the Presdiential assassination and countless other covert activities, Cain's behavior and death deserved closer inspection. According to police reports, the murder had taken place in broad daylight at Rose's Sandwhich shop. There, Cain lunched with several other unidentifed men. These men got up[ and left while Cain reamined alone at his table. Soon after, two men, earing skimasks and toting shotguns, entered the shop. They swiftly lined the diner/s terrified inhabitants against the wall. Witnessess reported that one of the gunmen sported a black glove on his left hand a white one on his right. Witnessess stated that the man with the walkie-talkie held it to his mouth and asked, "who's got hte package?" He repeated this question several times until finally a reply came back: "Here come a guy now: Maybe he's got the package." Hearing those words, the stangley gloved man walked up to Cain and fired tow shotgun blasts at point-blacnk range into his brain. After briefly searching Cain's pockets, the two walked rapidly out the door, disappearing for ever." ("Double Cross"-Chuck Giancana- excerpted from pages 469 to 488.
