Sometimes the history of Porter County ends up being much larger than expected. In this episode, we take a deep dive into an escape from the old Porter County Jail and explore the many different events that happened leading up to the escape. Why was the sheriff and a posse of deputies on the other side of the county while his wife and daughter were left to stand guard? What caused the Indiana Governor (and future Vice President) to send two militias and enact martial law in Porter County? Porter County in the fall of 1912 was an eventful place, and in this episode we will tell you all about it.
