Warden Dunn was shot and killed when four men attempted to escape from the Oklahoma State Prison.

A gun battle ensued and Warden Dunn, Deputy William Ford, and three of the suspects were shot and killed.
The fourth suspect was convicted of Warden Dunns murder and executed in the electric chair on July 14, 1943.
