I was on assignment at Van Buren and Ogden Avenue, and had just called the office. They told me to go to Garfield and North Clark where there was a shooting. I got into my car, raced through red lights, and got there just as the first bunch of cops were going in. I went with them.
Sprawled grotesquely at the base of the bullet-riddled stone wall were six distorted bodies; a seventh lay slumped over a wooden chair. One of the officers called out, "This one's Pete Gusenberg, an ex-con and the chief gunner for the Drucci-Moran gang. Here's Al Weinshank, the North Side booze runner, and Artie Davis from the West Side mob. And this was James Clark, Bugs Moran's brother-in-law. Here what's left of Doc Schwimmer." The other mobster was Frank Gusenberg, the only one still alive. He died within half an hour without giving the police any information.
