Novena oficial morto en 1920?
Oito St. Oficiais Louis policías morreron no cumprimento do deber durante 1920. Quedei impresionado ao atopar un artigo de xornal sobre un oficial Novena ser morto. O St. Louis Departamento de Policía Metropolitana é bo sobre a gravación de toda a súa liña de mortes duty. Cando eu penso a certificado de defunción Missouri, aclarou o misterio.
Revised Cover of 1920: O ano máis mortal para St. Louis Policía
Me deparei co artigo na novembro 22, 1920 edición do Richmond Times-Dispatch (Richmond, Virginia). O artigo afirmaba unha muller sociedade lanzou un St. Louis Policía que levou a un bandido.
Durante 1920, St. Louis experimentou un gran número de asaltos e roubos. Ladróns e asaltantes mataron cinco dos sete St. Louis axentes da policía que morreron no cumprimento do deber antes deste incidente.
Mrs. Ruth Scott, unha ama de casa de 25 anos de idade, estaba camiñando co seu marido de 33 anos de idade, Samuel S. Scott. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported police were drawn to the vehicle because of closed curtains.
“The police” attempted to pull the vehicle over but Mrs. Scott mistook them for bandits. She urged her husband to drive faster. When 47-year-old Charles J. Bacher, who was actually a Watchman with the St. Louis Parks Department, jumped on the running board in an attempt to stop the Scotts, Mrs. Scott shot him from inside the vehicle.
One bullet struck Officer Bacher in the chest causing a fatal wound. Bacher bled to death on the pavement before medical treatment could be rendered.
Fortunately for Mrs. Scott, o St. Louis Coroner ruled the death an accidental homicide. After reading the article, I was trying to verify the death so I could notify the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department about the line of duty death.
Pronto St. Louis crachá de Policía do Dominio Público
The first challenge involved the incorrect spelling of Officer Bacher’s name. The newspaper listed his name as Charles J. Backer. After searching all St. Louis residents who died in 1920, I found his name was actually Charles J. Bacher. Officer Bacher was married at the time of his death.
Ruth Scott passed away in 1961. She lived out the remainder of her life as a house wife.
Oito St. Louis Police Officers lost their lives in 1920 not nine. Porén, many innocent St. Louisans like Charles Bacher lost their lives. We don’t want to see any more years like 1920 en St. Louis.
