Joseph Westlake, 31, male, White, was walking his beat along Narragansett Pier on the night of August 22, 1902, when the quiet gave way to the sound of gunfire. He and his partner hurried toward a nearby bar off the Casino district, where a brawl between two local men and two U.S. Army soldiers had spilled out of control. One of the soldiers had already fired at a civilian and missed, drawing the officers into a foot chase along the waterfront resort area that summer visitors knew well.
