Editing Morello crime family (section)

==1910 convictions and Terranova phase==
Federal counterfeiting convictions in 1910 imprisoned Morello, Lupo and several associates. Critchley writes that Morello's group then splintered while maintaining loose links. Nick Terranova emerged as a prominent leader of a reduced East Harlem circle associated with an East 107th Street saloon—the phase retrospectively called the [[107th Street Mob]].<ref name="Critchley" /> The name does not identify a cleanly separate organization that subsequently transformed into the Morello family; it describes part of the formation's changing neighborhood and leadership history.

The organization fought [[Brooklyn Camorra]] factions during the 1910s. Nick Terranova was killed in 1916, while later prosecutions weakened the Camorra side. Vincenzo and Ciro Terranova, Stefano LaSalle and other Harlem figures remained active, but personal survival does not establish uninterrupted institutional control.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2eCPAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA123 Critchley, ''Origin of Organized Crime'', pp. 123–132].</ref>
