Ethel Lee Robinson, had 2 brother's Joe & Edward.
Here's the rest of the above article, lots of facts
Inmate: #15298 Moundsville Prison
Rec: 1 Apr 1926
Crime: Grand Larceny
Term: 5 Yrs
Age: 20
Charles Gibson escaped from Moundsville prison (in West Virginia) on 10 May 1927 and took off with Ethel and they eloped. Her (X)husband Harry Porter who was also in the Moundville Prison for killing a Prize Fighter named "Golden Munsey" (I did not find anything on this). Charles was in prison for Grand Larceny, he stole a car. One article says Ethel was found dead and had been strangled and Charles was awaiting a hearing, then an doctor examined Ethel and said she died of Acute Alcoholism. So he was off the hook for murder. Now Ethel had another alias Patterson so this maybe another marriage.
Terry found her death certificate and emailed to me. THANK YOUB TERRI!!!
There might be another one that has updated cause of death.
Notice the name at the bottom of the wanted poster. Harry Porter her husband, or x-husband. Charles had a daughter.
What a heck of a story wow, I emailed the State Archives to see if I can get these two men's prison records then I will edit this post and add it all.
This would of been close to the type of car they fled in. Cadillac 5 passenger Touring.
This was an awesome story and there is more too it, I hope I get the prison records.
