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.

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..
