Two sons of a reputed organized crime leader in Milwaukee were acquitted for lack of evidence in federal court in Kansas City of conspiracy and racketeering charges in the skimming of $2 million from Las Vegas casinos. Although the motion for acquittal was made for all seven defendants, Joseph P. and John J. Balistrieri were the only two acquitted. Attorneys said it would take two or three weeks to present the case for the five remaining defendants. It was not known if any of the five would testify.
