| As with much of his life, controversy surrounds the Crown Point jailbreak. Historians still debate whether John made the break with a wooden gun or a real automatic or both. Or if the fake gun was whittled by JD from a jail washboard or manufactured by an old German woodworker in Chicago and smuggled in to the Lake County Jail. Some members of the Revisionist faction of the Society choose to believe that John simply dematerialized and walked through the wall by uttering the magic formula "23 Skidoo." |
