OK, I've been reading "War of the Godfathers" by Bill Roemer and this is the 2nd time he states that Tony "Joe Batters" Accardo was one of the shooters in the St. Valentines Day Massacre. Unfortunately he doesn't really provide much proof other than speculation overheard on "Little Al" and "Plumb". (listening devices planted by the FBI) Accardo never admits to being there or even being involved.

Along with JB, he states that it was Jack McGurn and Louie Campagna who were dressed in the police officers uniforms who let JB and Tony Capezio into the SMC Cartage Company garage with their Tommy Guns.

We've heard about the "Blond Alibi" for McGurn, and the mountain of circumstantial evidence that points to Fred Burke and his band of St.Louis mobsters. So what is it that makes this FBI agent go against several published theories??


I came, I saw, I had no idea what was going on, I left.
