In October of 1923, a group of armed young men attempted to escape from Eddyville prison in western Kentucky. After shooting multiple prison guards, they realized their original plan wasn't going to work. They barricaded themselves in the dining hall in the center of the prison yard and the following days resulted in a standoff between the surrounded inmates and the prison guards, plus several Hopkinsville National Guardsmen summoned by Governor Morrow. As the incident came to an unfortunate end, authorities were left wondering, who provided the weapons? They learned exactly who it was. She even confessed, multiple times. But would she face the consequences?
