Dickenson County,

Sun. May. 04, 1913

Summary: |
Special Deputy Marion Ramey and Special Deputy Marshal John Sloan were shot and killed in Dickenson County, Virginia, just over the border of Kentucky.
The deputy marshals had been informed of the location of a still by the sister of the still's owner. The three had gone and destroyed the still when they were ambushed. A prolonged shootout took place in which hundreds of shots were fired. Deputy Marshal Sloan and Deputy Marshal Ramey were both killed.
The wounded marshal crawled approximately five miles down a mountain, where he was located.
|
Disposition: |
Several suspects were arrested the following year. Because it was unknown which state the shooting had taken place in, a special commission was established by Virginia and Kentucky to identify to re-establish the border between the two states. It was determined that the murders had occurred in Dickenson County, Virginia, and both men were sentenced to life in prison in the Virginia Penitentiary. |
