Of the seven killed, only Dr. R. H. jchwimmer, an opometrist, was un- nown to police records. Dr. ‘hwimer, they belleve, dropped into he garage to chat with Frank and Peter Gusenberg, both of whom were illed. The Gusenbergs were long ime friends of Dr. Schwimmer, the olice learned. Peter Gusenberg was indicted with Biz Tim Murphy (himself an assas- n's victim) in the $100,000 Polk reet station mail robbery and serv- d & three year sentence in the fed- ral penitentiary at Leavenworth. He came affillated with the Moran fang three years ago, at the sugges- on of his brother, a lieutenant in e Moran forces. James Clark, another of yester- Jay's dead, was a brother-in-law of oran, with a reputation as a crack arksman with a rifie. He is listed lv police as a member of the “pun- jhing squad” of the gang. Alfred Weinshank was a north- lde cafe owner whose affiliation ith Moran took place comparative- recently. John May, at first be. ved to have been only an automo- le mechanic and an innocent vic- m, was known to police a safe ower before joining Moran.

Heyers Was “Fromt” Adam Heyers, the other dead man, was the “front” for the gang, taking care of the legitimate actiei- ties such as renting “plants” and buildings required in conducting the gang “business.” There were four theories being considered in connection with to- day’s investigation. Two involved the “ilquor racket,” a third politics and ithe fourth had to do with the war- fare in the cleaning and dyeing bus- iness in which Al Capone, Moran and others connected with the city's &anx life became interested last year. The political theory concerned the coming aldermanic election in the “Bloody Twentieth” ward, which has been the subject of much inves- tigation since the April, 1927, pri- maries when a slaying took place there.

The cleaners and dyers' possibil- ity was based upon the connection of one of the clain men, Weinshank, with the General Cleaners and Dyers’ association. The Gusenbergs also were connected with the associ- ation as is Willie Marks, who, with Moran, is the only known member of the Moran gang now alive. A theory that found strongest sup- port, however, held the “Putple Gang” of Detroit as the most likely assassins.
