The Burgloak Escape of Joe Dubuque
A Washington Post writer relays how English thief Joe Dubuque dubbed The Burgloak outwitted a sheriff. With Wild Willie and partners near, a bank haul of £4,000 led to a bold jailbreak at a northern city jail. After a tense escape through guard rounds and a balcony fetch, Dubuque vanishes toward Detroit Street as the posse closes in.
