Although Anna transcribed pages of notes allegedly from her, Houdini later revealed that his mother did not speak English, claimed Doyle's wife was a fraud, and ended his friendship with Conan Doyle.〔http://takimag.com/article/when_harry_met_arthur_christopher_sandford/print#axzz2NHKp7G7D〕 In 1929, the Ambassador was the site of the infamous Atlantic City Conference, in which a number of organized crime bosses, including Al Capone, Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano, negotiated their territorial rights after a wave of violence.〔http://www.levins.com/achistory.html〕 In 1931, as Philadelphia gangster Mickey Duffy slept in the hotel, he was shot and killed by assailants who were never caught.〔http://www.phillyneighbors.com/PhillyGangsters/index.htm〕 The incident was dramatized in the series ''Boardwalk Empire'', with a character called Mieczyslaw "Mickey Doyle" Kuzik. The hotel eventually closed in the 1970s.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
