Add to My HeroesGeorge W. Boyle
Constable Boyle succumbed to gunshot wounds received four days earlier when he and a Deputy City Marshal were attempting to arrest four men who had committed a murder and several robberies. The suspects opened fire, striking Constable Boyle four times. The marshal returned fire and mortally wounded one of the suspects. The other three suspects were apprehended within hours.
On November 24, 1927, one of the suspects helped organize a riot and escape attempt at Folsom Prison. Guard Ray Singleton was stabbed to death and Guard Charles Gillies suffered a fatal heart attack during the riot. The suspect and five other prisoners were sentenced to death for the murder of a prisoner killed during the riot. Four of the condemned prisoners were executed in January 1930.
Constable Boyle had been in law enforcement for over 25 years and was survived by his two sons.

Most Recent Reflection
View all 9 Reflections100 years ago today you passed away from your injuries. It is tragic to think so few can cause such devastation. Its nice to know that a death sentence was carried out, even if it wasn't for the right reasons.
Your service and sacrifice are remembered today.
Rest in peace Constable Boyle.
