Not counting Mr. Gusenberg's delayed expiration, the only survivor was John May's German Shepherd named 'Highball'. Reportedly, it was Highball's barking and whining that caused people to investigate the garage.

My great grandmother was murdered in Chicago in 1929 by (as the story goes) a spurned admirer who shot her and then tried to gas himself. As I was researching this I thought it would be big news back then, but I found it got a few paragraphs in a couple of local papers and wasn't really that big of a deal. Things are not that much different now I reckon.
