Officer Will Farley was shot and killed at his home, near Dart's Creek, when three moonshiners broke in and shot him as he lay in bed.
He and another officer had raided a still earlier in the day. The dismantled still was taken to his home as evidence.
The other officer, who was in another room, shot at the suspects as they fled the scene.
