Federal Prohibition Agent Murdock Murray was killed in an automobile accident while returning to Baudette, Minnesota, at the end of his shift patrolling the Canadian border. He swerved to avoid striking a farmer driving a team of horses and his vehicle overturned. He was taken to his home where he succumbed to his injuries at approximately 1:00 am.

Agent Murray had only been with the agency for 21 days. He was survived by his wife and three children.

Agent Murray, this date marks the 83rd anniversary of your tragic death after only 21 days with the ATF. Your effort to avoid the farmer says you were a hero in that you put your own life at risk to save another. It’s a testament of what kind of Agent you would have been had you been given more of a chance. I would say it’s a good indicator that you never truly left your wife and children and remained with them, even after death, to watch over them and act as a Guardian Angel to them.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
