TRUEPIGTURE
That Byron Bolton's story of the
St. Valentine Day massacre appears |
‘to be a true picture of what actu-
ally tock .place waa the opinion |
expressed today by Walker Butler, |
who as assistant state's attorney
was in chayge.iedhe massacre in-
vestigation in 1829.
The roost significant phase of
Bolton's story, he said, was the!
description of Burke, Goetz and |
Winkler. Butler expressed the opin- |
fon that the presence of Murray
Humphreys “might be wrong,” and
that tif he had named Tony Capezio
in his place the confession would
be perfect. He said:
“We raided Bolton's home down-
state after we trailed a
shipped from Capone's flat ‘in
SiceraJVe missed Burke by
a few minutes, ee Ry tas
“However, we found ‘nam
* pictures of Capone and others of
his ‘mob’. There was a picture
of Burke in the Bolton home with
_ two front teeth missing, and the |
Witnesses to the slaying stressed .
| the fact that one of the killers in
| Police uniform bead two front
| teeth missing.”
F Butler was associated in the in- -
; vestigation with Harry 8, Ditch-
“purne, also an assistant state's
“attorney, who also declared that
Bolton's confession was supported
aby the facts gleaned at the time.
*"Sergt, Samuel Loftus, a veteran
of the police force, was the first
liceman te enter the garage r
slaying of the seven. Today he
d of Bolton's story:
“Every detail that Rolton oa:
ed is true t my persong!
owledge. I lived that case and |
as n matter of fact I am still
working on it.” : |
