As a long-time member of good standing in the Rush Street crew, no one could ever accuse Campise of putting all his eggs into one basket. His hands were in numerous rackets. He helped manage a loansharking ring for rising mob leader "Milwaukee Phil" Felix Alderisio in the '60s. His partner in that operation was a younger Alderisio protégé named Anthony Spilotro, who was destined to be the Outfit’s Las Vegas caretaker from the early 70s to the mid 80s. By the early '80s, Campise was the day-to-day manager of Joseph "Caesar" DiVarco's bookmaking operation. He also had a hidden interest in charitable "Las Vegas Night" gambling at the Grand Plaza Hotel in suburban Rosemont.

  • As a long-time member of good standing in the Rush Street crew, no one could ever accuse Campise of putting all his eggs into one basket. His hands were in numerous rackets. He helped manage a loansharking ring for rising mob leader "Milwaukee Phil" Felix Alderisio in the '60s. His partner in that operation was a younger Alderisio protégé named Anthony Spilotro, who was destined to be the Outfit’s Las Vegas caretaker from the early 70s to the mid 80s. By the early '80s, Campise was the day-to-day manager of Joseph "Caesar" DiVarco's bookmaking operation. He also had a hidden interest in charitable "Las Vegas Night" gambling at the Grand Plaza Hotel in suburban Rosemont. He also collected protection fees from North Side business owners/operators shaken down by the Rush Street crew. He owned and operated a storefront social club. It was a place where he hung out, played cards, and cooked regular meals for members of his crew. Campise was well known in mob circles inside as well as outside of the Windy City. By the '60s, he was considered a primary Outfit liaison with the Kansas City mob as a close ally of local Mafia boss Nicholas Civella. Campise was actually suspected of participating in some mob hits there in the late 50s. There was more than mere suspicion of his involvement in hits on his home turf, however. The FBI, for instance, long suspected his involvement in the torture-murder of bolita operator Santiago Rosa Gonzalez in 1958. Gonzalez clashed with Ken Eto during the Outfit's initial takeover of that racket and paid the ultimate price for standing up to the mob. That wasn't the only local murder in which he was a suspect. Another murder he was involved in was that of a friend named Dominic P. "Hunk" Galiano, who was gunned down on the night of March 10, 1966.
