End of Watch Sunday, August 18, 1912
Add to My HeroesWilliam Collins "Carl" Brown
Constable Brown was stabbed to death by a prisoner whom he and a county's sheriff's deputy were walking to jail in Harwood. As the three paused for a moment the suspect suddenly pulled out a large knife and stabbed Constable Brown in the side, causing sever damage to his right lung. He also cut the deputy on the wrist.
Because of the large crowd standing nearby, neither officer drew their weapon. The deputy, with the assistance of bystanders, was able to subdue the suspect and place him in jail.
Constable Brown had served as the elected constable of Precinct 7 for 14 years. He was survived by his wife and eight children. He is buried in the Masonic Cemetery in Gonzales County.
