The Jupiter R. Peg Traveling Acrobatic Troupe

Great Uncle Adriano J. Peg's younger brother Jupiter was also known in the Matranga family as a man who could get the job done. His traveling acrobatic troupe was a perfect cover for a bit of imported carney justice on the opposition.

The troupe was well known along the Gulf Coast in the 19390s and 40s. With an impressive act of trapeze and tightrope artistry, the quartet moved quietly as enforcers among the shadows of organized crime. When the missing sheriff of Zolfo Springs Florida showed up in Lafayette Louisiana with evidence of a suborbital icepick lobotomy, the heat on Jupiter became so intense that he took his troupe to Venice, never to return to the United States.

The last known record of Jupiter R Peg is a marriage license in Mogliano Veneto between Jupiter and a woman named Galletta Albero.
