Kentucky Memorial

June 24, 1882, James B. Day, Marshal of the Frenchburg Police Department, was shot and killed by a group of men who were upset with him over an arrest of several friends the previous evening. One of the man attempted to get Marshal Day’s attention by stepping into the roadway and yelling as loud as he could. When the marshal stepped from his store to ask the man to keep quiet the man pulled a pistol and shot him twice in the abdomen. Despite the wounds, Marshal Day drew a knife and stabbed the suspect six times, killing him. Two of the man’s relatives then shot Marshal Day four more times, killing him. Both men fled but were apprehended and charged with Marshal Day’s murder.
