The real Tom Hagen

Did Mario Puzo know about this real-life son of bootlegger?

Robert Duvall has recently passed away. The actor famously portrayed the Irish-American consigliere to Vito Corleone, the don’s adopted son, Tom Hagen.

I wonder if Mario Puzo ever heard of the adopted son of a bootlegger from West Springfield, Massachusetts, named Tom Hagen. It might explain the inspiration behind the character he invented by that name for The Godfather. The fictional Vito Corleone’s consigliere and the real-life Thomas W. Hagen were both Irish-American orphans born in the same decade and raised by Italian gangsters. Despite the serious disadvantage of being real, the New Englander had a more colorful life story. And that’s after factoring out what he made up about himself.

Thomas Walter Hagen was born 16 July 1911 in Hartford, Connecticut.^[1] His mother was deemed seriously mentally ill after his birth, and died before he was a year old. His father abandoned him. An uncle placed the infant Thomas in an orphanage in Massachusetts.

The Springfield bootlegger, Frank Pugliano, Sr., who was a co-founder of the Monte Carlo Cafe with his wife, Fannie, had three older brothers who also immigrated. One of his brothers, Luigi Pugliano (1886-1976), married their first cousin, Carmela Dialessi (originally D’Ulissi).

Cousin marriage is fairly common among the southern Italian families, and far more frequent in Mafia-aligned families. Marriage between close relatives can be responsible for infertility, which might explain why their only natural child, also named Luigi, died in infancy.^[2] Luigi and Carmela adopted Thomas Hagen and called him Louis Pugliano. Sometime in his young adulthood, Louis K. Pugliano, Jr. (or just Louis Pugliano) began using his birth name.^[3] His only child is named Thomas P. Hagen. Later in life Thomas, the father, spelled their last name “Hagan.”

Thomas W. Hagen, aka Louis K. Pugliano, Jr.

Louis, as he was called in his youth, was frequently in legal trouble. At eighteen, the unemployed young man was caught tearing the lead plumbing from a vacant tenement, found guilty of larceny, and given a suspended sentence to the Massachusetts Reformatory at Concord.^[4] In September he was arrested and charged with gaming on the sabbath.^[5] 

Louis and his uncle Frank Pugliano were charged together for breach of peace in the summer of 1930, a week after the youth admitted in court to breaking and entering a law office where he stole a jackknife and some stamps.^[6] The year after his sentence Louis K. Pugliano, Jr., adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Pugliano of George Street, West Springfield, appeared in the news as an author and illustrator on his way to Europe.^[7]

The Pugliano family is challenging to research because of all the repeated first names, but no more than any other southern Italian family. I’ve checked Louis’/Thomas’ identity using a number of strategies for distinguishing what I call “doppelgangers” in genealogical research: checking ages, named kin, home addresses, and other biographical details that uniquely identify someone from other people with the same name. Several articles on the adopted son of Louis and Carmela Pugliano covering his legal troubles, and the society columns on his writing career, identify him with both of his names, adoption status, age, street address, and the names of his parents, making it abundantly clear they are the same, complicated person.

Given the Italian naming traditions, Louis K. Pugliano, Jr. had three Pugliano uncles who might name a son Louis Pugliano after their father, Luigi. Besides this family, no other Puglianos appear in Springfield area directories of the 1920s. Of the four brothers who came from Sambiase and settled in western Massachusetts, the youngest, Frank, also had a son named Louis (“Louie Pugs”), who was not born until 1926, and who has recently passed away. Felice Antonio/Tony had only daughters.

The oldest immigrating Pugliano brother, Fortunato/Fred, had a son named Louis who was born in 1908 in Sambiase, making him close in age to his adoptive cousin.^[8] For most of his adult life, Fortunato’s son, Louis, lived in nearby Chicopee, Massachusetts, was active in a different set of church groups than the West Springfield Puglianos, and married twice outside their insular Italian-American community. He died in 1999.^[9]

In the 1930 census, soon after the family’s move from Chicago, Fortunato/Fred Pugliano’s family lived at 80 Exposition Terrace in West Springfield, around the corner from the future Monte Carlo Cafe location on Memorial Avenue.^[10] Fred’s oldest son, Louis, was a new arrival in West Springfield during the exact period when there was a flurry of news about his adopted cousin, who mainly went by Louis Pugliano in those years. However, those articles make clear that the delinquent thief and writer was the adopted son of Luigi and Carmela Pugliano of George Street in West Springfield, not Fred’s son who lived on Exposition.

Another challenge of writing about the life of Thomas Hagen is that he often lied. There is more ink spilled about Thomas Hagen’s literary journey than he appears to have published. I found one article by him, in The Springfield Daily Republican. A typical sentence: “An Episcopal church of a green gothic type with massive buttresses of Oregon pine even now mocks its hoary age with imitation and supplants it with a sham.”^[11] 

Thomas’ mother was active in real estate, even during the Great Depression. One of the parcels she sold to Thomas on the eve of his European tour, and which he sold back, five months later, appears to be the family home at the corner of Union and George streets in West Springfield.^[12]

When Thomas returned from his trip to Italy and France (which he later embroidered into serving with the Foreign Press), he came home with a bride.^[13] Caterina Scarfo had never been to the United States before. She was born and raised in Sambiase, the Italian comune where Thomas’ adopted parents were born.^[14] Thomas and Catherine lived with his parents and had one child, also named Thomas, born in 1934.^[15] 

A few months after his return, in January 1932, an investigation revealed that a fire on the second floor of 168 Windsor Street in West Springfield was deliberately set.^[16] Several gallons of beer and liquor were found on the scene. Louis Pugliano, who reportedly lived there, was brought up on federal charges before a grand jury.^[17] He was given a suspended sentence, probation, and a fine.^[18] 

He was arrested again that summer at his relatives’ place on New Bridge Street, along with his cousin’s husband, Carmino Celilli.^[19] The undercover agent who allegedly bought liquor from Louis was unable to identify him in district court and the complaint against him was dismissed.^[20]

According to his probation officer, Louis violated the conditions imposed by a judge in March, following the Windsor Street fire, when he was arrested in June in the New Bridge Street raid. He was sent directly to jail to await arraignment for violating his probation.^[21] The results weren’t reported.

The following summer, in August 1933, Thomas started a literary guild.^[22] One night the following March he got drunk and broke into a gas station. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, but was found guilty and agreed to make restitution.^[23] The articles about these events use both his names and give his parents’ address, as do the items about his arrest in September 1934 for leaving the scene of an auto accident and driving without a license.^[24]

Read about the Monte Carlo Cafe co-founder, and Prohibition bootlegger, Frank Pugliano, Sr here.

Prohibition ended in 1934. Thomas’ aunt and uncle opened the Monte Carlo Cafe on Memorial Avenue in West Springfield. Thomas bought the old Pickwick Inn on Boston Road in North Wilbraham in the summer of 1936 and reopened as El Trocadero.^[25] The Trocadero was open for just a couple of months before it was raided and illegal pinball and slot machine games used for gambling were found.^[26] Hagen made excuses but accepted the charge of operating a lottery and paid a ten-dollar fine.^[27]

As a political hopeful in Jacksonville in the early 1970s, Thomas would claim that he graduated from Northwestern University in Chicago in 1935 with a bachelors of science.^[28] Considering his known activities in the Springfield, Massachusetts area in the early 1930s, this seems impossible.

In the 1940 census, Louis and Carmela Pugliano, their adopted son, Thomas Hagen, his wife, and their seven year old son all lived at 63 Russell Street in the Mittineague section of West Springfield. Louis was a garbage collector and Thomas operated an entertainment agency.^[29] Thomas’ wife, the former Catherine Scarfo, gave 63 Russell Street as her address when she remarried to Nicholas Papuzzo in February 1943.^[30] The Papuzzos bought a new home on Allston Avenue in July 1944.^[31]

Pugliano/Hagen literally shielding “Springfield Sammy” Manarite from the press outside the Hartford courthouse in which Hagen was accused of perjury. He claimed to have dined with Sammy in a Springfield restaurant the evening of a Hartford assault. Manarite was found guilty and sentenced.

In 1947, Thomas W. Hagen (who used the “Hagan” spelling by this time, possibly to avoid his criminal history), alias Louis Pugliano, formerly of Springfield, a one-time operator of a local entertainment agency, and most recently a manager of moving picture theaters and booker of entertainment acts, was sought by police on a warrant charging him with perjury.^[32] Hagen’s whereabouts in the years after his divorce are vague. He would later claim he won a Democratic nomination for state representative in 1943, and that he was managing a theater in Portsmouth, Virginia. The Morning Union of Springfield clarified that Hagen moved in political circles while a resident there, and had been a candidate once or twice for minor offices, but never won an election.^[33] And he never would.

Hagen, along with renowned bookmaker Paul Cardaropoli and Andrew Scibelli, the eldest brother of Cardaropoli’s bookmaking partner, Frank Scibelli, testified that Salvatore “Springfield Sammy” Manarite was with them at the Monte Carlo Cafe in West Springfield the night of 24 August 1946, at the hour when Manarite was alleged to be assaulting a woman in Hartford, 28 miles south. Frank Pugliano—Hagen’s uncle, and co-owner of the Monte Carlo— testified that Manarite was in the cafe around midnight. Hagen called Sammy Manarite his closest friend, and confirmed he was the one who prevented a newspaper photographer from snapping a photo of Manarite outside the courthouse.^[34] Another witness was brought from the state prison to testify that he had been in Hartford at the scene of the crime and was a witness to the assault, and that Manarite wasn’t there.^[35]

After giving testimony, Hagen disappeared.^[36] He was charged with perjury because he claimed on the stand not to have a criminal record, though one was found for him under his old name, Louis Pugliano.^[37] The prosecutor offered evidence in court that Hagen had been convicted in Massachusetts of crimes involving moral turpitude.^[38] He’d been arrested nineteen years earlier in a string of crimes: for larceny and malicious destruction of property for the lead pipe thefts, and gambling on the sabbath. He was found guilty for breaking and entering and larceny, down from two counts of larceny in a building, for thefts from two offices on Main Street in 1929.

A bench warrant was sworn out for his arrest and he was sought unsuccessfully in Virginia. He resurfaced in Springfield almost a month later and after consulting with his attorney, surrendered to Connecticut authorities.^[39] Thomas Hagen was sentenced to one year in jail.^[40]

Hagen’s attorney told the judge a sad tale: his client’s mother became insane and died within a year of his birth, and his father abandoned him.The story continued with his placement in an orphanage and subsequent rearing in an environment replete with crime. He’d lost his job with the theater and would never be able to hold a similar position in the future. Finally, his attorney described Hagen as “mentally deficient” and incapable of creating the alibi he swore in defense of Manarite. Hagen had lied about being with Sammy in Springfield, as well: Manarite went to prison for the assault.^[41]

In the 1950 census, Thomas’s son, Thomas P. Hagen, who was seventeen, lived with his mother and stepfather and two younger half-siblings in West Springfield.^[42] Thomas P. married in 1957.^[43] His marriage announcement indicated the father of the groom lived in New Jersey. He might have been the gas station attendant lodging with a widower in Passaic in the 1950 census.^[44] I was not able to find another match for his known aliases and age. He would later claim to be working in public relations and advertising for the entertainment industry in New York City and Hollywood.^[45] I have not been able to find any evidence of him living in those places.

Young Thomas P. Hagen and his bride bought a home in Manchester, CT, and he enrolled in the University of Hartford where he earned an associates in business administration in 1963, and a bachelors in 1967.^[46]

When “Thomas W. Hagan” first arrived in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1957, one of his first acts was to publish fictitious name notices in the classifieds for his bank advertising and PR agency, Nationwide Bankers Advertising & Publicity Service of Florida.^[47] 

He married the former Madge Marie Lytle of Altoona, Pennsylvania.^[48] It appears that they had a series of tenants or houseguests in their three-bedroom bungalow.^[49] A young woman gave their address as her own when she married in Jacksonville in 1966.^[50] The following year, a man was shot and killed by a restaurant owner who caught him robbing the register. The shooting victim was described as having recently left a wife and children in New York City, and living at Hagen’s address.^[51]

Thomas’ adoptive mother and father died in 1973 and 1976, respectively. Their obituaries used the new spelling of their adopted son’s name and said he lived in Jacksonville.^[52] His former wife died in 1981.^[53] 

Thomas W. Hagan, PR agency president and candidate for office in Jacksonville, Florida, in the 1960s and 70s

Thomas’ political activity gets mentioned in Jacksonville newspapers as early as 1959.^[54] When he became a candidate for city council in 1963, he told The Florida Times-Union that while living in California he had been in public relations representing the theatrical industry.^[55] A month later, he told the Jacksonville Journal that he was a Northwestern University graduate, spoke four languages, and served with the Foreign Language press in Italy in the 1930s.^[56] He tried again to get a seat on the city council in 1967 and 1975, and between those attempts, ran for the local school board in 1971.^[57] He was never elected.

Thomas died on 31 January 1984 in a Jacksonville hospital. His obituary says he was an honorary deputy sheriff and a member of the Fraternal Order of Police. It also claims Thomas had a sister named Mary Wing, who I have been unable to identify.^[58] I haven’t been able to find Thomas’ biological family and he had no siblings through the Puglianos. His widow, Madge, died in 2018.^[59]
