Samuel J. Monkhouse

This is not a line of duty death, just an interesting story about what apears to be one tough police. he was shot in the cest by the safecracker, and still had the strength to capture and arrest the lookout, which most likely led to the name of the yeggman. This occured in october of 1930, Patrolman Monkhouse carried that round next to his heart for 22 years until in 1952 when it shifted and doctors felt it was safe to remove. At one point the yeggman escaped prison, was captured and taken back, he served all his time and was released, he went to Anne Arundle County where he raped a woman a crime for which he was hung. Sergeant Monkhouse would go onto to retire from the force and move to Ocean City maryland where he lived until 29 January 1960.  May he rest in peace. We thank him for his service and hope he will be rememebred for his courage and strength as a Baltimore Police officer.
