Anyone have any info or newspaper articles on Houdini escaping from the Jail in Cincinnati in 1908 (or any other time)? I've looked in the local papers and can't find it. If i had an exact date it would help.
Thanks.

Re: The "Jan. 12, 1908" date (in an earlier post)...my source has the Columbia Theater listed in ST. LOUIS, MO. ....Not in Cincinnati.
