In the fading minutes of Valentine's Day 1932, Philadelphia gangster Joseph Magitz a.k.a. Two Gun Murray, stepped from his third story apartment and headed for the stairs. The door to the rear apartment opened and two guns went off. One bullet blew Magitz nose off and two more went into his belly. As the desperado dropped to the floor, the two gunmen ran up and fired two more shots into his head. Their job complete, they and their woman companion, stepped over Magitz and ran down the stair and got away.
The landlord, who lived on the second floor, heard the shots followed by the trio running out of the building. He told police that he had rented the rear apartment to the woman about three days prior. A search of the room turned up only some half eaten sandwiches and a large number of cigarette butts.
