Patrolman Adolph G. Schneider came into the department May 20, 1899, and was killed September 23, 1920.  He was working out of headquarters with Patrolman Ed Nichols on night duty when they arrested William Adams, of Ironton.  Schneider rode with Adams while Nichols followed in the police squad car.  At Town and Front Streets, the prisoner drew a gun, and as Schneider grappled with him, the auto crashed into a streetcar.  Schneider was thrown from the car and died several days later.
