Summary:
Carlos Marcello -- the "Little Man -- appeared as a witness before the Kefauver Committee on January 25, 1951, where he invoked the Fifth Amendment over one hundred times, refusing to respond to questioning. On March 24, 1959, he was called to testify again before the McClellan Committee on labor racketeering and organized crime. Robert F. Kennedy was chief counsel; his brother, Senator John F. Kennedy, was also on the committee. Marcello again invoked the Fifth Amendment and JFK publicly warned him that he would become a target for investigation. As soon as he became attorney general, Robert Kennedy personally made sure the Mafia chief was deported to Guatemala under dubious conditions that placed the Little Man's life at risk. The New Orleans boss swore to seek revenge.
