Summary: |
Officer Patrick Durkin was shot and mortally wounded and Officer Anthony L. Ruthy was killed by a man they attempted to arrest at the Chicago Public Library on Michigan Street. The man, wanted for a bank robbery in Neponset eight days earlier, had gone to the library to meet his wife who helped police set up a trap for him. When he saw Officers Ruthy and Durkin along with two other officers approaching him he produced a pistol and opened fire. In an exchange of gunfire three officers were hit. The suspect ran up Randolph Street; was tackled by a store clerk; and arrested by police. Officer Ruthy died minutes later. Officer Durkin died at a local hospital two days later.
The suspect was convicted of Officer Ruthy's and Officer Durkin's murder on May 29, 1931. He was executed in the electric chair on October 16, 1931.
