OFFICER JESSE H. SOSBEE |
December 1, 1922 |
| Officer Sosbee and his partner Clarence Hurt were ambushed in the 400 block of East Grand (now Sheridan). Sosbee was shot and died the next day. Two men were arrested, convicted and sentenced to five and seven years in prison. When moved to the State Prison, both had to be dressed in women's clothing to disguise them from the angry mob wanting to lynch the men. |
