Summary: |
Marshal Porch was shot and killed by a suspect who he had arrested earlier in the day. The man had been released from jail, obtained a shotgun, and then setup an ambush for the marshal. As Marshal Porch made his rounds on Market Street at 0300 hours the suspect opened fire, striking Marshal Porch in the leg and hip. Several residents, including the city's mayor, heard the shots and Marshal Porch's groans. The mayor found him on the street and transported him to his home where he died three days later.
Before dying, Marshal Porch was able to identify the suspect, who was arrested the following day. The man was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in prison November 27, 1908.
Marshal Porch had been with the agency for five years and was survived by his wife.
