On this day in 1898 the legendary confidence artist Soapy Smith was murdered. One of Smith's 'ruses' was to create a petrified man he called McGinty and charge the low price of only 10 cents to see him, this was designed to gather large crowds that Soapy's employees could liberate a lot more money from via rigged 'games of chance'.
Smith was a very interesting character indeed and you can find out more about him, direct from Jeff Smith (one of Soapy Smith's descendents), on the blog http://soapysmiths.blogspot.com/
