Thank-you for the link. I am one of the people the OP was talking about. I couldn't find the info after a couple tries, so I went to the tried and true method-IMDB.
How it is the perfect job, when it's killing you from the inside out.
Her father was a prison guard and helped smuggle her letters to Edward Biddle. His last name was Dietrich. I have a copy of one of their love letters from the newspaper archives. Of course, her father was dismissed by the warden. lol She was released from prison in 1904, and she wanted to become an actress. The town shut her play down, and she wanted to sue them.

Great link thanks
shareI appreciate the historical links to the Mrs. Soeffel case.
I just wanted to mention that I grew up in the North Hills, north of Pittsburgh, in a small town called Ingomar, PA,, which lies between Perrysville and Butler, PA. along Route 19 As a young boy growing up during the 1950s, I heard tales from the old timers in the area about the police chase and the gunfight. Needless to say I was happy to see this film made, a fine film indeed.
