Big Ed Quinlan Shot by Police After Highway Robbery Attempt
A well known criminal Quinlan was felled by a police line during a raid on four highwaymen who ambushed J W Wise near the canal bridge. Wise identified Quinlan as one robber, and Capt Campbell led the pursuit to the Big Four train stop where Quinlan attempted to flee. He begged a priest, received viaticum, and died within minutes after examination by Dr Hodges. The shooting drew protests from his father and local officials seek prosecution for the officer who fired the fatal shot.
