 | Officer Charles E. Carter
A rookie of two months, Officer Carter tried to stop a
drink-crazed man who had been flourishing a gun near 629 E. Court Street. The man
ran behind a telephone pole and fired a bullet which pierced the lungs of Officer
Carter. Shot on May 7, 1927, Carter died two days later on May 9. Twelve years
after the incident, the case was solved with the arrest of a mental patient in an
institution in Louisville, Kentucky.
