State gaming board investigators are seeking to interview alleged Scranton mobster William D'Elia to determine whether he has or had ties to slots applicant Louis DeNaples. D'Elia, 62, of Hughestown, Luzerne County, is being held without bail in Pike County. He was charged in October with conspiring to kill a witness while out on bail from a previous indictment on money laundering and other offenses. In 2003, the New Jersey Casino Control Board barred him from entering any casino in that state. It stinks, said DeNaples' spokesman, Kevin Feeley.
