Jag tidigare skrev om en incident där en Detective Sergeant för St. Louis polis blev skjuten under ett rånförsök. Unlike a number of other incidents in Gilded Age St. Louis historia, Detective Sergeant James Martin King’s home in January 1920 still exists. The home is still in excellent condition. 4973 Lotus Avenue was the home of Sgt. King in
