Reams vs. Licavoli

Lecture by Tedd Long, Toledo Historian presents Reams vs. Licavoli (final). Reams vs. Licavoli tells the true story of the 1934 trial that broke Toledo’s crime syndicate.  Mob boss Yonnie Licavoli never pulled the trigger—but prosecutors argued he ordered every murder. Using wiretaps and a daring conspiracy theory, Prosecutor Frazier Reams took on the most powerful criminal in the city and changed Toledo forever.

A dramatic follow-up to Tedd Long’s Unholy Toledo Tour, this presentation explores crime, law, and the dangerous line between justice and fear.

The Libbey House is participating in America250–Ohio and the Time Travelers Passport program, which highlight significant places, people, and moments in our community and nation during the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.

As part of the nationwide America250 celebration, these programs connects local stories to the larger American story, highlighting how people, places, and events here helped shape the nation over the past 250 years. We invite you to discover how Northwest Ohio fits into 250 years of American history—and why it still matters today!
