ST. VALENTINE'S DAY ECHO SEEN IN GANG KILLING Brothers Slain in Speakie Believed Marked for Garage Massacre. By United Pir* CHICAGO, April B—An echo of Chicago's famous St. Valentine day’s massacre rose suddenly today with the slaying of two men believed by police to have been accidental survivors of the mass murder which won near monopoly of the city's liquor trade for the Capone syndicate. Benjamin (Red) Applequist, 43, and his brother Ernest, 40. veterans of the bitter beer wars that followed prohibition, were shot down Thursday night in their little west side speakeasy by shotgun killers. The careers of the brothers had been typical of the partisans of the gangs which for years waged a bloody fight over the high states of the liquor industry. The Applequists were known to police as members of the Dion O'Banion-George (Bugs) Moran gang which long held sway on the north side. The two first were hunted at suspects in the Cicero machine gun raid in which hundreds of bullets were sprayed into buildings on the suburb’s main street in an attempt to kill A1 Capone. Three years ago the Moran gang virtually was wiped out when seven of its leaders were slaughtered in a garage in the St. Valentine day’s killing. The story current in the underworld was that the Applequists were marked for death on that occasion, but escaped by accident when they did not appear at the garage, as had been expected.
