Paul Bender found some in fo on the 123 Club, that really surprised me.

Email string below.
Gene,
While going through the microfilm yesterday I found a new name associated with the 1-2-3 club.
You may want to pass this on to our "Friend"
The Jeffersonville Evening News [not digital] Oct. 1, 1938
17 face charges for possesion of Slot Machines.
Listed for 1-2-3 West Court Ave. Louis Levenson
First time I have seen his name.
Enclosed is the fire map of 119.....in 1934[I think]it was there and was the white tavern.
The Jeff library didn't have the 1929 Caron directory so I will go to New albany tomorrow and look up the 29 book for Rich. After I have the29 information I will post it to the BB.
My typing skills suck so I don't post much

My reply:
That's Sleepout Louie. He ran the 633 (Flamingo) in Newport for the New York mob.

My email to Jim Linduff:
What do you think of this?
Sounds like he is talking about Sleepout Louie in 1938, Jeffersonville, IN.

Email from Jim Linduff:

I would be almost certain that this was Sleepout. At that time he was running the 633 in Newport for the NY Boys and they could easily have been in Jeffersonville also.

Your latest Illegal was great BTY. I guess the only other tie to Sleepout would be confirming Lansky and Company were in Jeffersonville in the day.

You and Paul Bender know much more than I do and I know Jeffersonville was called Little Chicago, but I thought the joints were mostly run by locals.

Jim

Email from Paul:
That is the FIRST connection between Neport and Jeffersonville that I have ever seen. I wonder if the reporter got it wrong?
What was happening in Newport in 38? I know that gambling shut down in Jeff long before Newport.
Paul

My note:

This is big news to all Jeffersonville collectors. It is the first info ever found that ties Meyer Lansky and NY to Jeffersonville and it was 1934.
