Release of famed bandit Black Bart Motahay shocks Marquette crowd
Motahay, 47, once dubbed the most picturesque criminal in Wisconsin and Michigan, was released from Marquette prison after 24 years of a life sentence for 1889 murder. Illiterate upon arrival, he reformed, educated himself, read widely, and worked as a model inmate. His notorious spree included stagecoach and train robberies across two states, with banks and railroads posting rewards. Captured after a lake region chase, he now seeks life after crime, likely to reside with Wisconsin relatives.
