Richetti Guilty In Massacre Trial At Union Station
Three lives for five, the score after two years of pursuing justice for the 1933 Union Station massacre. Adam Richetti was sentenced to hang after being identified by government witnesses, despite his claim of innocence. He stood with Floyd and Miller, all linked to the machine gun spree that left multiple victims. Miller died near Detroit, Floyd was slain near East Liverpool, and Richetti was captured in Kansas City. The trial followed a long manhunt and marked the last of the trio to be judged.
