Three men, identified by newspaper men as John Scalsi, AL bert Anselmi and Joe Guinta were found shot dead on rural road.

 Two were found heaped in the back seat of stolen car. with their bodies covered with blan- ket. Twenty feet away they found the other. The killers were regard ed as the ace men of the Capone staff. Three times they had been charged with killing policemen but always escaped conviction. It is contended through police circles. that members of the rival gang are still wanted for investigation. It has been also learned through the police that at least dozen sus- poets will be put on the carpet.
