Jesse Louden

Jesse Louden

Officer Jesse Louden and his partner, Officer Frank Siefert, both motorcycle officers, responded to the report of a prowler near a drug store at 1600 N. Central Avenue on June 14, 1923.  The suspect was chased to 1532 1/2 N. Central Avenue.  During an exchange of gunfire, Officer Louden was shot. He died three days later on June 17, 1923.  Charles E. Henry was arrested for the murder and was sentenced to life in prison.  He escaped from the Indiana State Prison on April 10, 1933, and was eventually recaptured.  He escaped again on February 17, 1940, and was out for several months before recapture. In 1968, he was released on parole.
