On October 14, 1924, Francis L. Haley of the Pennsylvania State Police said, "I'm shot - get that man" as he fell at this spot, mortally wounded by a bullet fired by the escaping robber of the Abbottstown State Bank, located 27 miles east along the Lincoln Highway. Trooper Haley's motorcycle carried him across the Adams-Franklin county line as death came. He was the 14th State Policeman killed in action. The assassin was later arrested, tried, convicted and electrocuted.
