Police file dated dated August 25, 1939: "Morella put the Brill on the spot for double-crossing him in the payoff on the gambling ship 'Sylvania'. He was shot from ambush from a loft building on East 53rd street, by Bugs Tonski and Mickey Moran on Morella's orders."
"Brill had double-crossed Morella in the returns received from all the gambling devices on the ship he had taken at least thirty thousand dollars and then made false entries in the bookkeeping. Morella became suspicious..."
"In fact every game aboard the 'Sylvania' is crooked and is gypping the public out of thousands."
"Brill called the Police Department from the S.S. Sylvania and told them he was willing to talk about that job at the 7-11 Club. He said he was going to tell them he drove the car for the Trigger, but that he wasn't on the scene when they gave it to Johnson. By that way, he figured he'd have safe conduct ashore and to the D.A.'s office, but Morella got him on 53rd Street. [Signed] Max Gates."
