What happened to Mrs Soffel?

Mrs. Soffel, also known as Kate Soffel, was a prison matron in the early 20th century who became famous for her involvement in the escape of two convicted murderers, the Biddle brothers, from the Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh in 1902. After helping them escape, she fled with them, but they were soon recaptured. Tragically, Mrs. Soffel was later shot and killed during a confrontation with authorities. Her story captured public attention and was dramatized in various forms, including film and literature.
