William J. Sharkey (murderer)
William J. Sharkey (c.1847-?) was a convicted murderer and minor New York City politician who earned national notoriety in the late 19th century for escaping from a New York City prison disguised as a woman. He subsequently fled to Cuba, which had no extradition treaty with the United States. He was never captured and his ultimate fate is unknown.
==Early life==
Born in New York City around 1847, Sharkey came from a respected, well-to-do family.〔Farley, Philip. ''Criminals of America, or, Tales of the Lives of Thieves: Enabling Every One to be His Own Detective: With Portraits, Making a Complete Rogues' Gallery''〕 A physical description of Sharkey in his late twenties stated that he was about five foot seven, had high cheekbones, dark hair, and a “thin face somewhat feminine in appearance…the eyes sharp and clear."〔Farley, Philip.
