In 1884, Michael Smith was convicted of murder and scheduled for execution at the Old Stone Jail in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.  He somehow found a way to escape during what was supposed to be his last night alive.  No one knows how he did it, and he was never found or heard from again.  I added my own details to the story of Old Smitty to give him a little more character.
