ReplyDeleteEight, but a few of those were guesstimates.
ReplyDeleteWelsh, you really must work on your massacres, you know!
ReplyDeleteCrushed - well done sir. You've been in training.
It took place in Chicago, Al Capone led the Northside gang, Bus Malone led the other gang, Capone was on vacation in Florida, the 7th man was one of Capone's gang, Tommy guns were used (Chicago typewriter, anyone?), High Roller was the dog's name, Moran lost to Nitti, Volstead Act (which helped my family too :-) ), and Nitti and Ness fought Capone. Tabulating the answers, 7 out of 10 isn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteSeven and a half. Didn't know the dog, the act or Mellon and I guessed every one of those wrong.
ReplyDeleteTwo only, but it was before my time, she says tongue in cheek.
