Coppone Released From Prison!!
Chicago gang leader Harold "Hal" Coppone was released today from Awsume State
Penitentiary near Philadelphia after serving a six-month term. Coppone, who was jailed for
carrying an unlicensed weapon, was met by a group of his men - among them was Chicago
gangster Joey "The Rattlesnake" Ratello, chief suspect in the recent killing of
Marco "Machete" Molino - and departed quickly in a powerful seven-passenger
Lincoln Touring car. While he had nothing to say to the press, Coppone and his men were
undoubtedly headed back to Chicago where, it is rumored, they have more than one score to
settle.
