Valentine's Day is the day to celebrate
love. But if we move back to 1929, we find the horrific incident of St Valentines day massacre.
The St Valentine's Day massacre is the name given to the shooting of seven people as part of a Prohibition Era conflict between two powerful criminal gangs in Chicago, Illinois, One gang was called the South Side Italian gang led by Al 'Scarface' Capone and the other was the North Side Irish/German gang led by Geroge 'Bugs' Moran.
Deadbodies of seven well-dressed men were found in evening of February 14, 1929 inside the S.M.C. Cartage Co. garage in North Chicago. Those men were riddled with bullets and according to the the police they were shot when they faced the wall with their back towards their executioner. Except for Dr. RH. Schwimmer, all the other killed men were mobsters and belonged to the group of Bugs Moran. Capone wanted to eliminate his main rival Bugs and so he schemed a plan with his followers to lure the men of Bugs into the garage.
The victims of the Valentines Day Massacre 1929, were identified as James Clark (AKA Albert Kachellek), Frank Gusenberg, Peter Gusenberg, Adam Heyer, John May, Reinhart Schwimmer, and Al Weinshank, who it is believed was the man mistaken for Moran by the lookouts.
There had been some unanswered questions of this incident of Valentines Day murders, but definitely the prime suspect had been Capone. The bloodbath made on that garage became part of the history of Valentine's Day as the infamous St. Valentine's Day massacre.
We pray that we never will hear such bloodbath on any of the
Valentine's Day ever.
