One of the most ‘cold-blooded crimes in this city’s history occurred when two automobile loads ol gangsters raided a. garage, where the Cartage Company had its headquarters and murdered seven employees with, sawed-off shotguns.
Tfie police construe these murders as the outcome of a so-called beer war and say- it is likely that some of the employees of the Cartage Co. had been engaged in running in beer.
Tlie roars of the shots was so great , that persons tin the neighbourhood thought an explosion had occurred. * '
The victims were treated in the Customary gang m'aflinfor—that shot down without a, chance to defend themselves. All the murderers escaped.
