Saint Valentine's day massacre in 1929 is one of the most well known criminal activities in the history. And the thing, what makes it very interesting, is that nobody ever convicted about that crime. There are many theories about this case, what is very well known incident, what happened in 1929, and the ordered of that attack is presumed to be Al Capone, who wanted to punish the "Bugs" Moran, who came in his area. There were seven victims, and the persons, who claimed to be guilty were well-known criminals. The thing, what makes this case so creepy, is that every suspect was dead until 1935. One victim of the shooting said at the hospital before he was dead that "no one shot me". Maybe he knew some shooter and thought that this man was some little gangster in the Chicago until the bullets were hit him.
Or maybe some shooter was hiding behind some garbage cans or fire stairs, and that man shot this person, Peter Gusenberg, who was the right hand of the Moran. I don't know was there on that street fire stairs, but maybe the shooter was in dead angle, or he couldn't see that person. Maybe Moran told Capone, that his henchmen were working for him. Who knows anything about those persons complicated mind, and we must remember, that treachery is always near in those people's life.
And there could be somebody else than Capone behind that crime because those gangsters who were suspected about that crime were well-known and experienced gunmen. That means that this shooting could be ordered from those gunmen. Sometimes is claimed, that Moran himself killed those men, by claiming that he was working for Mafia, and the reason would be that those men tried to murder him, but normally people believe that the order was given by Al Capone.
The case is so complicated to write in Wikipedia is very interesting, but the complicated story and the main question is, how the Moran or somebody else got the names of the shooters, and that was the really bad thing. In stories, Capone killed his gunman, John Scalise, Albert Anselmi and Joseph Giunta and the reason was claimed that this man tried to murder Capone. But in fact, the reason for the murder could charge what Scalise got about the Saint Valentine's day massacre. The man who was behind this case was Capone, but did that man made that for somebody else. When we are thinking deeply about this case, somebody might give Capone the information, that his henchmen were tried to murder him. But the thing feels more complicated.
Capone is claimed to beat them to death by the baseball bat, and the bodies were found in Indiana. Maybe those injuries have made for destroying the outfit and recognition marks of those men. But Capone might be got in the anger, and that makes this person very dangerous because this man couldn't control himself. The reason why this story feels quite suspicious is that those men were identified in the massacre, and as you might know, that is the thing, what Mafia would not tolerate. Capone was a very young man and many people believe, that he was not the real boss of his gang, and the reason for that is, this man had syphilis, what causes mental disorders.
Maybe Capone was working for Mafia, but he was only the caporegime, the leader of the gunmen and enforcers of that organization. And in sometimes somebody has wondered how he knew about Valentine's day massacre victims relationship with Moran? Sometimes was claimed, that Moran himself was behind those murders because those men knew too much. When we are thinking about the evidence about that crime, the two Thomson-sub machine guns were found in the home search, and they were identified as the murder weapons, but the counselors would claim that those guns were taken to that house, where they were found.
When we are returning the case, where Capone killed his henchmen, somebody says, that Capone or some other man got the information of the attempt to murder this gangster king from the police or FBI. There is one thing, what supports those claiming is that those three men were experienced and notorious killers. The thing what made the last two men survive was probably, that witnesses would not see them in the shooting place, and they could claim, that those other men were forced them to drive. And probably they didn't see the shooting, and that's why they couldn't testify against them. Under the text link to the Wikipedia page about this case, and some suspects biographies.
