Testa had recently broken off the engagement to Merlino's daughter and Merlino was determined to have Testa killed.

It's possible that he may have feared a Testa / Merlino alliance and was only too happy to arrange the murder of such a popular and ambitious individual.

In his native Mistretta, Testa was a Mandamento and was rumored to have belonged to the Sicilian Mafia Commission before traveling to America.

After Caponigro was tortured and killed, Philip Testa was installed as the new Philadelphia boss and Nicky Scarfo as consigliere.

Nicodemo " Little Nicky " Domenico Scarfo ( born March 8, 1929 ) is a member of the American Mafia who eventually became the Boss of the Philadelphia crime family after the death of Angelo Bruno and Phil Testa.

Little Nicky forced Casella into " retirement " in Florida and promoted Leonetti, Salvatore Testa, Lawrence " Yogi " Merlino and Ciancaglini to captains of their respective crews.

Salvatore " Salvie " Testa had virtually led the Scarfo crime family during the war with the Riccobene faction, for most of the war Little Nicky was in a prison cell in Texas.

Wayne Grande was given 25 % of Testa's business and Nicky took a third of the profits made by a major bookmaking operation Testa had put together with DelGiorno and Pungitore.

On the night of Testa's wake, Nicky Scarfo and Salvatore Merlino were summoned to a meeting at the Buckeye Club, a private social club in South Philadelphia where consigliere Peter Casella and Frank Narducci Sr. based their operations out of following the murder of Testa.

Caponigro was attempting to seize control of the Philadelphia family by force ; he was planning to promote Frank Sindone to underboss and to kill off Phil Testa, Scarfo and Frank " Chickie " Narducci.

Testa promoted Scarfo to consigliere and Peter Casella to underboss.

Joseph " Chickie " Ciancaglini defected after Testa and Scarfo interrogated him at gunpoint in a garage about his involvement with Caponigro.

Both met grisly ends at the trigger fingers of hit men sent by Testa and Scarfo.

Chickie Narducci's borrowed time finally ran out when Scarfo gave Salvie Testa permission to kill him.

He began telling Scarfo that Testa was trying to put together his own criminal organization, that he was using drugs and was going into business with an African-American street gang in West Philly.

Testa at 28 was a caporegime in the Scarfo Mob.

In April, Scarfo had made up his mind and gave the order that Salvie Testa had to die.

Despite the qualities Testa possessed, Scarfo clearly was convinced that he was a major threat to his position.

Philip Carlo Testa ( April 21, 1924 – March 15, 1981 ), also known as " The Chicken Man " or " The Julius Cesar of the Philadelphia Mob " or " Philly ", was a Sicilian-born American Mafia figure known for his brief leadership of the Scarfo crime family.

The murders of Helfant, Cifelli, Falcone, Narducci Sr, Calabrese, Spirito, Tamburrino, Riccobene and Salvatore Testa were among the counts of the indictment.

At the ceremony, Testa inducted Scarfo's nephew Philip ( Crazy Phil ) Leonetti, Lawrence ( Yogi ) Merlino, Salvatore ( Chuckie ) Merlino, Robert ( Bobby ) Lumio, Anthony ( Blonde Babe ) Pungitore Sr., Salvatore ( Wayne ) Grande, Anthony ( Tony ) Testa, Jr., Frank ( Little Frankie ) Narducci Jr., and his son, Salvatore.

One month before Testa was murdered, he, Frank Narducci Sr., Harold and Mario Riccobene, Pasquale Spirito, Joseph Ciancaglini, and several associates were indicted in a federal racketeering case that centred on gambling and loansharking operations run by the mob.
