Special Agent Gentleman, today marks the 104th anniversary of your death at the hands of some petty thug who was stealing coal no less. COAL! Was getting arrested for that crime worth taking the life of a law enforcement officer? Apparently that guy thought so and wasn’t really proven wrong when convicted of manslaughter. Disgraceful.
Agent Gentleman (and I can only assume you were a gentleman) you gave your life while protecting one of the most vital parts of the American economy and one of the reasons this country is as wonderful as it is today. Men and woman like yourself who watch over our railroads are a very special breed of cop and we all owe you a dept of gratitude, especially when that effort has such tragic results. You truly are a hero.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother. Ptl. Jim Leahy, Jr.

I am the great-grandson of your brother Williama and currently work for the same company you did, Union Pacific Railroad. After extensive research we discovered your history. I worked with Dennis Jenson, UPRR Police Chief, to see you honored for your service.
Well done. Rest in Peace. Dir. Safey Process Lynn Beebe
