Add to My HeroesAlbert Miller
Patrolman Albert Miller was beaten to death after being called from home to quell a disturbance two doors down from his house.
Several people were attempting to gain entrance to a party uninvited. As Patrolman Miller emerged from his home drowsy and half-dressed the crowd began to jeer him and attacked him. One of the men struck him in the head with a piece of fence, crushing his skull.
Three men, ages 18, 19, and 20, were subsequently convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to indeterminate terms in the Mansfield Reformatory. All three were paroled on May 15, 1915.
Patrolman Miller had served with the Cleveland Division of Police for 1 1 /2 years. He was survived by his wife, who fought the suspects in a losing effort to get them off her husband. He was also survived by his son.
