Jane Doe

So Charlie was, by that time, some of the writers think that he learned from other criminals while he was in the Missouri prison. And it certainly didn't show him the path to redemption because he went right back to his old ways. And he got involved with other criminals. One thing about Charlie is that you never...

get the sense he, he wasn't, uh, you know, with the mob or anything like that, at least for most of his career. Um, he was kind of a rural independent and he would work with various other people. Um, of course, some of those people didn't have very long lives after they hooked up with Charlie and, uh, you know, several of them that were killed during these early years. For example, um,

and what surprised me when I, when I first started to look into this is he really did get around. Uh, he was robbing banks in Colorado. Um, he had come to Ohio, uh, previously. Um, and in fact, he, uh, his first major bank robbery was in a little town in Northwestern Ohio called Sylvania. And he, he knocked off the bank there. Um, and then in, uh, May of 1930, he was arrested in Akron, Ohio.

They were looking for him because of that Sylvania bank job, and they caught him. He was hiding under a bed in a questionable place.

Yes, yes. And they caught him, and they sent him back to Toledo for trial, and he was convicted again. And what's kind of interesting to me is if he was sentenced for 12 to 15 years in the Ohio State Penitentiary, and had he served that, you and I wouldn't be talking about this. It wouldn't be another colorful story for Columbiana County.

But he was actually on his way to Columbus with the officers. He was handcuffed. And he talked the officers into letting him use the restroom in the train car that they were in. He got in there and somehow broke out and flung himself out of a window. I have no idea how he got rid of the handcuffs, but he got away and got away clean. And the next thing you knew, he was back in Oklahoma.

So that was the last time Charlie was ever killed.

Yeah, absolutely. And the Ohio State Penitentiary at that time was certainly no club med. I mean, it was every bit as bad as the Missouri Penitentiary, probably worse, although he wouldn't have known that. So he escaped from that. He went back and throughout his years, not that there were that many of them, there's always this tendency to go back to Oklahoma, the Cooks and Hills. And
