1891

John Spellman, son of wealthy Peoria distiller Edward Spellman, was arrested in St. Paul, Minnesota, on a charge of robbing the United States Post Office in Washington.  He escaped authorities, returning him to the area by jumping out of the bathroom window of the train that was transporting him. He was travelling at about 30 MPH at the time of his escape.
