| Summary: |
Deputy Marshal McGennis and Deputy Marshal Vernon Wilson were shot and killed in Fresno County, California, while they attempted to arrest two suspects wanted for the murder of Tulare County, California, Deputy Oscar Beaver one month earlier.
The suspects were Chris Evans and John Sontag, notorious California train robbers. A little less than a year later, Sontag was killed and Evans was apprehended after a gun battle with a posse. Evans lost an eye and his right hand in the fight.
Chris Evans was convicted of the murder of all three officers and sentenced to life in Folsom Prison. He was paroled in 1912.
Deputy Marshal McGennis is buried in Block 54, Lot 7 Grave # 4 in Modesto Citizens' Cemetery, Modesto, California.
