Some Historical Trivia 'Spoilers'
Bugs Moran & his man,Ted Newberry,were not the only gang members to escape the massacre.Moran & Newberry were approaching the rear of the SMC Cartage Company warehouse from a side street when they spotted the "police car" pull up to it.As they quickly left in order to retreat to a nearby coffee shop they ran into fellow gang member Henry Gusenberg who was on his way to the warehouse & warned him away.Another Moran gang member,Willie Marks,also on his way to the warehouse saw the police car & ducked into a doorway while writing down the car's license plate number.George Segal who portrays Peter Gusenberg & David Canary who plays Frank Gusenberg are brothers who are both murdered in the massacre.Yet Henry Gusenberg(not called Frank as in the movie)was warned off from the massacre. Al Capone murdered three men with a baseball bat at the dinner & not two as depicted in the movie.Joseph Guinta was also a conspirator against Capone with the other two victims.
