Frank Callace's name is most frequently associated with the Lucchese and Genovese crime families. An original member of the 107th Street Mob in New York City, in October 1963 Genovese soldier/Mafia turncoat Joseph Valachi revealed details about the street gang's exploits. He gave his testimony before a U.S. Senate subcommittee in Washington, D.C. Callace was arrested for assaulting a female by hitting her over the head with a champagne glass. Later he was immersed in trouble on bootlegging charges. An undated ancestral listing for Callace finds him living at 399 Linden Street in Brooklyn. Later, in the 1950s, he was a lynchpin of the heroin ring run by Charles "Lucky Luciano", the exiled Italian mobster.
