O’Keefe had just woken up and was getting ready
When William Rudolph broke out of the St. Louis Jail on Independence Day 1903, the newspapers called it an act of unprecedented daring. Kuitenkin, twenty-two years earlier, Frank Fone and John D. Shea broke out of the St. Louis Jail the same way. Fone ja Shea olivat paikallisia rikollisia, who frequented the Downtown area. Shea was violent, while Fone was
