[4] Dickerson further testified that the Republican State Committee had accepted a $25,000 "loan" from a friend of mob boss Abner Zwillman and had kept no record of the cash repayment.
Dickerson denied that there was such a bribe but acknowledged that Moretti visited his house in November 1950, along with his brother Salvatore and associate Joe Adonis.
Moretti complained that he had received no protection as the result of the alleged bribe and warned Dickerson, "Tell the governor and the attorney general that I don't intend to take this laying down."
After an abortive run for mayor of Palisades Park in 1958, Dickerson retired from politics and pursued a business career as a New York real estate executive.
