Very informative picture website of the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire; see photos of the two purported arsonists, working for Moe Dalitz from the Cleveland mob: located near the bottom of page on URL: http://judicial-inc.biz/bev..verly_hills_nightclub_fire.htm (there are bones being found today in the basement areas of the Beverly Hills Supper Club, coming to the surface from "unaccounted employees", (possibly from the mobster days?)

As of Oct. 2008, a panel of experts meet at Northern Kentucky University to determine the cause of the fire. A strange and mysterious man walked into the room where the meeting was being held, including several fire fighters, university professors of law, state officials, and stated the following: "a time was placed in the wall and was not supposed to go off until the next day..." and he left the room. No one questioned his identity nor stopped him, as he did not break any laws. He was however, suspicious. It has been recent belief, that the Cleveland Mafia, of Cleveland, OH, who were the former owners of the club from 1936 though the 1960's, arsoned the building, as the owners, Schilling family, would not "sell" back to them. The building was vacant for a number of years when gambling was stopped in 1963. Most of the Cleveland Mafia, abandoned their business (gambling) interests then, and moved to Las Vegas. It is a common falicy, that the mafia moved out entirely from the Newport, KY area. They were, in fact, still operating there throughout the 1970's. A waitress overheard threats being made to the owners (Schillings), about 1 month prior to the fire, "Those who don't sell, may loose the building..." She also saw one of the same two men appear that morning, 05-28-77, in the Zebra room, where the fire started, and were tampering with the wiring in the chandalier (which was the easiest access to the wall behind) and wiping liquid on the upper half of the walls (all four). Eight Beverly Hills club employees saw several other people in the hall way (a woman and two men) on ladders nervously wiping down the walls with a liquid chemical, who were not scheduled or invited for "maintenance" or any other type of work. It is believed the chemical used was liquid graphite, a clear/milky chemical substance, which is highly reactive, after hours of being soaked into the panelling and walls of the Zebra room. Currently, a busboy who whitnessed the activities in the Zebra room that morning of the fire, is taking matters to Federal prosecutors. It is believed both Ohio and KY state government know the identity of the two "purported arsonists" that were making the unscheduled/univited "air conditioning maintenance work" in the Zebra Room that day. Little if anything, has been said or done to them, or their accomplices. Matter is still unresolved. Threatening death threat calls were made to a surviving waitress from the club to "not talk or else..." and her son was found at the bottom of a swimming pool the next day or so (recently came out at the meeting at N.K.U. in Oct., 2008). The mafia got the wrong waitress. Then calls began to the correct waitress, who overheard the threatening conversations to the Schillings and the man working on the wiring in the chandalier that morning... and death threat calls to her and her family continued for at least another 10-12 years. She remained silent the entire time, as her children were growing up. When she remarried, changed her name, and moved to the suburbs of Lexington, KY, the calls stopped in the late 1980's. She is willing to come out and speak about it now, and is working together with the surviving busboy, who saw the suspicious activities that day in the Zebra Room. Wiring played a part in the fire, but was not the cause. The cause was 99% sure to be the activity of the mafia and arson. Once again, this did not come out until whitnesses/survivors came out and spoke up in 1998, after their children were grown up and moved out of the home.
