Summary: |
Officer Matthews was shot and killed while walking his beat in downtown Xenia. A suspect approached him from behind and shot him without provocation.
The suspect was arrested a short time later after he boasted to friends that two notches on the butt of his pistol represented two dead police officers. It was determined that he had also shot and killed Patrolman Emery McCreight, of the Wilmington, Ohio, Police Department, on February 15, 1922.
The suspect was convicted of Officer McCreight's murder and sentenced to life in prison on Febuary 20, 1923. He was paroled July 30, 1945.
Officer Matthews had only served with the agency for 3 months.
