A gangster murder closely approaching in horror, and exactly similar in method to the Valentine Day massacre at Chicago in 1925, occurred in New York this afternoon, when three gunmen entered a garage where two notorious x’acketoers, Joseph Amberg and Morris Kessler, kept their automobiles. Finding the two men there, the three gunmen placed them against a wall and shot them dead. Then, brandishing revolvers at the garage employees who had watched the proceedings in silence the murderers fled.
Traffic policemen on a nearby street heard the shots and started in pursuit in a crowded) section of Brooklyn. Two of the men fled in an automobile which was quickly lost in the traffic, and the third dodged into a tenement and disappeared. • , The murdered men were involved m a large number of crimes, and had long police records. A month ago they were questioned by the authorities about a homicide in which it is believed they were involved. It is indicated tnat today’s billings arose from this.
