Charles Hoard

Officer Charles Hoard was shot and killed by one of three men he had arrested for drunkenness.

The suspect, a popular young attorney who claimed self defense, was charged with murder and released after he posted a $5000 bond. His first trial ended with a hung jury. His second trial resulted in a acquittal. After the trial the suspect's health began to fail. On July 15, 1913, in a very bad state of health, he shot and killed himself.
