He walked out of the hospital only a few hours later. The 66-year-old gambler apparently was the mark for a wellplanned gangland assassination. He was shot in the back of the head as he entered the lobby of the plush apartment building where he lives. The gunman, who was clearly seen by the doorman, an elevator operator and a companion of Costello, was described as a heavyset man about six feet tall, wearing a dark suit and black hat. He fired one shot at Costello from behind, waved his gun menacingly at the doorman. Norvel Keith, and then ran to a waiting black Cadillac which roared off with him. The light which normally illuminates the getaway car’s license plate was dimmed. Costello was described as an international rackets boss when the Kefauver committee brought him before the television cameras in 1951. When the questions became too pressing for Costello’s comfort he walked out of the hearings, pleading a sore throat. The committee then slapped him with a contempt charge and he was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He served a year and then was released.
