Corpses of the Valentine's Day massacre in Chicago, 1929

The corpses of executed victims of a gang war in a garage at 2122 North Clark Street. The seven executed victims were standing in front of a wall and pierced by bullets. It were the gangsters Adam Meyer, John May, James Clark, Al Weinshank, Frank and Pete Gusenburg and the optician Dr. Reinhardt Schwimmer. They belonged to the gang of George (Bugs) Moran and were probably killed by Jack Machine Gun McGurn, a hitman of Al Capone. The murders became famous as the Valentines's Day massacre. Although Jack McGurn was accused he never had to face a trial
