Editing Saint Valentine's Day Massacre (section)

== Other suspects ==
Many mobsters have been named as part of the Valentine's Day hit team. Two prime suspects are [[Cosa Nostra]] hit men John Scalise and Albert Anselmi. In the days after the massacre, Scalise was heard to brag, "I am the most powerful man in Chicago." Unione Siciliana president Joseph Guinta had recently elevated him to the position of the Unione's vice-president. Nevertheless, Scalise, Anselmi, and Guinta were found dead on a lonely road near [[Hammond, Indiana|Hammond]], [[Indiana]] on May 8, 1929. Gangland lore has it that Capone had discovered that the pair were planning to betray him. Legend states that Capone produced a baseball bat at the climax of a dinner party thrown in their honor and beat the trio to death.<ref name= "Hoffman, Dennis">{{cite book| title=Some Historical Stories of Chicago| publisher=Southern Illinois University Press| first=Albert A.|last=Hoffman Jr. | date=October 29, 2010| page=191| isbn=978-1-4535-3970-5| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=awdx10jLhAcC&pg=PA191}}</ref>

In 1995 Chicago criminologist Arthur Bilek, who had researched the massacre through FBI files and court transcripts for 30 years, named the participants in the massacre to have been Capone henchmen "Machine Gun" [[Jack McGurn]], who assembled the murder team that included lookouts Byron Bolton, Jimmy Moran (no relation to Bugs) and Jimmy McCryssen. Their job was to watch the garage and alert [[Tony Accardo]] and the other triggermen—Fred Burke, Gus Winkler, Freddie Goetz and Robert Carey—when Bugs Moran appeared at the site. Another team member, according to Bilek, was Claude "Screwy" Maddox, who procured the killers' transportation—a car resembling those used by police. With the stage set, Capone and McGurn established alibis: Capone going to Florida; McGurn checked into a hotel with his wife, Louise Rolfe. His claims were backed up by the former [[William F. Roemer Jr.|FBI agent William Roemer]], who had heard claims of Tony Accardo also being involved as one of the shooters on several occasions by [[Murray Humphreys|Murray "The Camel" Humphreys]] through a microphone planted in the Chicago Tailor shop in 1959.<ref>{{cite news |title=New Theory On MASSACRE |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1995-03-29-9503290101-story.html |access-date=2022-10-16 |website=Chicago Tribune|date=March 29, 1995 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=April 2, 1995 |title=Criminologist Fingers Chicago Gunmen |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1995/04/02/criminologist-fingers-chicago-gunmen/2eea622a-7bda-4cf0-a0cb-b1696497eb42/ |access-date=October 16, 2022}}</ref>
