| Title | The Binaggio and Gargotta Murders |
| Abstract | A collection of 111 pages of photocopied newspaper articles from the Kansas City Star and Kansas City Times detailing the murders of Charles Binaggio and Charles Gargotta and the subsequent investigation of those killings. The victims were associated with the First District Democratic Club, located on Kansas City's north side, and both had ties to organized crime. The clippings cover a four-month period in 1950, from April until August. Each article is annotated with its source and date of publication. Charles Binaggio was a Democratic faction leader and Charles Gargotta was a north side underworld character. Both were shot on April 6, 1950, in the club rooms of the First District Democratic Club at 716-718 Truman Road. According to the newspaper clipping on page 37 of the compilation, both Binaggio and Gargotta are buried in Mount St. Mary's Cemetery in Kansas City, Missouri. |
