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 racketeers, Joseph Amberg and Morris Kessler., kept their automobiles, aid. finding them there, placed them against a wall and shot them dead. Then, brandishing revolvers at the garage employees, who had watched the proceedings .in silence, the Inurderers fied. Traffic policemen on the street in the .vicinity heard shots and started in pursuit in, a crowded Brooklyn section. Two of the men fled in an automobile, which was quickly lost in the traffic, while the third dodged into a tenement and disappeared.

A month ago they were questioned by the authorities about a homicide in which it was believed they were involved, and it is indicated that to-day’s killings arose from this.
