Police Officer Hans Drasbach was stabbed to death while attempting to arrest a man for fighting in a saloon at the corner of Decatur Street and Piedmont Avenue. As he took the man into the custody, the subject suddenly stabbed him in the heart with a long dirk.
The officer was able to walk the one block to the police barracks and was then taken to Grady Hospital, where he died one hour later.
The suspect was arrested in Abbyville, South Carolina on October 18, 1903. He was convicted of Officer Drasbach's murder and sentenced to death. On January 15, 1904, he was executed by hanging at the Fulton County Jail.
