Capital Shame

By Jamie Dettmer

Since the 1960s Washington has been one of the country's most lucrative urban narcotics markets. Three decades ago heroin was the drug of choice and, although the market basically was disorganized, there was a line of major dealers and wholesalers who dominated sales - men such as Lawrence "Slippery" Jackson, who purchased his smack from New York's Italian dons and shipped it to the district by car and Amtrak for re-cutting and street distribution, and James "Dumptruck" Smith, who was considered a gentleman by the cops who eventually arrested him.

In the 1980s, when crack cocaine hit, the city turned meaner and more violent - the twenty-something and younger generation of native dealers who emerged fought viciously for turf and waged a bloody conflict to drive off trespassing Jamaican gangs from New York and Miami. The death toll soared, turning Washington into the "murder capital" of the United States. The city's drug problem shifted from being a local story into an international scandal - one made more sensational with the presence of a crack-head mayor, Marion Barry, whose antipathy toward the police and his own fear of investigation resulted in one of the nation's finest police forces being cut back, neutered and, some say, ruined.

Washington became a symbolic test of the nation's progress - or lack of it - in the war on drugs. George Bush used it as a backdrop for his 1989 "the-rules-of-the-game-have-changed" speech in which he warned the South American cartels that there was a new sheriff. Then-drug czar Bill Bennett set out to make an example of the capital by showing what federal resolve and greenbacks could do. But after pumping a few million dollars into a federal task force and reneging on a promise to build state-of-the-art treatment centers, there wasn't much to show for the effort except for an increase in convictions, overflowing jails and more drugs and mayhem in the streets of the district.

It has been sometimes alleged that J Edgar Hoover made a deal with the Italian Mafia to stay out of DC, although Meyer Lansky did have a few confederates including one of the best known restaurateurs in town. By the late 1980s, however, things are changing, as reported in 1987 by Nancy Lewis in the Washington Post: "Prosecutors say their first inkling that organized crime had discovered Washington as an attractive place to do business came about 15 years ago when an undercover investigation of the city's biggest-ever drug gang led to the conviction here of two members of the Genovese crime family. The 300-member D.C. gang was headed by Lawrence W. (Slippery) Jackson, the son of a local minister, but the massive amounts of heroin it put on the streets came from the New York mob. Killings of rival gang members, a rarity in previous decades, became frequent as drug chieftains, adopting Mafia ways, battled for control of the city's street corners. Since then, slowly but steadily, organized crime figures have been appearing around town."

Wrote Lewis: "What's going on? We never had these organized crime types in the past. We had gangsters but they were our gangsters: Capitol Hill's Joe Nesline, the Warring brothers from Foggy Bottom, Roger "Whitetop" Simkins from Petworth, even Abe "Jewboy Dietz" Plisco from Georgetown by way of Richmond. They and a handful of others organized the criminal underworld here during Prohibition and controlled it for decades afterward Now FBI agents and prosecutors here talk about gangsters arriving from crime families in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York and Sicily, of mob "soldiers" and "associates," of huge drug shipments, of pizza parlors vending cocaine along with the double-cheese and anchovies, of enforcers who break legs and boast of the number of people their friends have rubbed out. This is something new. In the past, "organized crime considered Washington a small town . . . and didn't want to fool with it," William Garber said recently. He is an attorney who defended several local minor crime figures and watched some of the more notorious trials when he first opened his law practice in the 1950s. He added that the conventional wisdom of the day was also that "organized crime thought moving {into Washington} would just be pushing the FBI too far."

In later years, however, whatever Mafia influence there was seems to fade.

Joe Nesline, who grew up around 6th & Mass NE, became the king of local gambling, with three clubs and, in the late 1960s, a wig business on F Street believed to be a front for gambling and cocaine trafficking. He reportedly runs casinos in Cuba for Meyer Lansky and worked with the Genovese family in Europe. MORE ON NESLINE

1969 In the summer, several persons involved in criminal activity meet at various locations to discuss establishing a formal organization to control the distribution of narcotics in the DC area. The operation is modeled after La Cosa Nostra and members start to refer to it as the 'Black Mafia.' The total membership is between 50 and 75 and crimes will include extortion, murder, robbery and protection. Says crime expert Dan Moldea, "Persons involved in illegal or quasi-legal activities were asked to donate a specified amount of money to the group. In return for this money, the person was entitled to some form of protection in their day-to-day operations. Their employees would not be robbed by members of their organization; if their employees were robbed by non-members, the robbers were taken care of by the head group; they wanted any person disciplined, the head group arranged for this. If any arguments arose, or disputes occurred between Black Mafia members and investors, the arguments were mediated by the head group." Joe Nesline is the reported contact with the New York mob.

Here is a List of Washington Post Articles on Lawernce W. Slippery Jackson establishing him as the head of the Blacks Mafia. The most Powerful Black Don in America during his reign.
