Patrolman Joseph Glenn succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained two days earlier as he investigated a possible burglary near the intersection of 22nd street and Market Street. Patrolman Glenn spotted two men acting suspiciously in an ally next to a private residence, trying to steal a horse. When he approached the men, they opened fire, striking him three time. The suspects fled the scene.
Both suspects were convicted of Patrolman Glenn's murder and sentenced to life in prison. Both were pardoned by Governor George W. Atkinson February 1, 1898.
Patrolman Glenn was single at the time of his murder.
