St. Valentine's Day Massacre
One February evening in North Chicago, seven well-dressed men were
found riddled with bullets inside the S.M.C Cartage Co. garage. They
had been lined up against a wall, with their backs to their
executioners and shot to death. These men were mobsters working under the leadership of
gangster and bootlegger, "Bugs" Moran. Within a few seconds, while
staring at a bare brick wall, these seven men had become a part of
Valentine's Day history: the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

You can check out anytime you like...but you can never leave!
I'm not sure what kind of information you are looking for on John May. He was a mechanic working in that garage and became one of the victims that day.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THIS CHANGED HISTORY?

Well, it definitely prevented any more murdering by these criminals!
Didn't anyone see The St Valentines Day Massacre movie?? I first saw that movie when I was like 12...I am 42 now and was floored by that....then I saw the Untouchables and that clinched it.........Al Capone was the craftiest #%! ever...he had people that posed as cops, plus he had actual members of the force that worked for him...not to mention judges also, that were paid by him....he ran Chicago...all the high paid lawyers, judges, cops, etc.....Why do you think Elliot Ness couldnt nail him?? He OWNED CHICAGO!!! Everyone worked for him...actually the man came from New York and then took over Chicago..what does that tell you?? The movies did justice on him, at least the two I saw...right down to it, atleast the stories Ive heard are right on..

Sounds like you admire him! Go figure.
so does anyone think that Al Capone had anything to do with these murders? I know i think so... I never heard of Valentines Day Massacre until I heard that when Al Capone was locked up for eight months in Eastern State, he was known for saying that he was haunted in his cell by on of the victims...

oooh, that is interesting. I'd love to hear more about that.
I guess we will never know for sure if Capone was behind this.
He was the one and only suspect though.
I have been reading about Al Capone because where I live in Topeka Il (Goofy Ridge) I
have been told by many who lives there that it was a big hangout for Al Capone and he has 2 underground places there, one just the street behind me and I am told they are "well watched". This is a very evil, wicked, mean, man.
