Frank Lewis

Frank Lewis was a man who was shot to death by Constable C. B. Runyon near Lewis' home in Baileys Crossroads on September 14, 1932.[1]

Upon hearing that Lewis had been in a fight earlier that evening, Runyon and Deputy Sheriff John B. Dowden went to Lewis' home to investigate. Runyon and Dowden separated, and Runyon confronted Lewis, who had hidden in some bushes near a shed behind his house.[1][2] Upon seeing that Lewis had a pistol, Runyon shot him once in the stomach.[2]
