Yes.

Morgan and his men were captured near West Point Ohio. Some were sent to Camp Morton, Indiana. Morgan and his chief officers were taken to Columbus, Ohio, where they were treated like common felons.

But Morgan and six of his officers, with no tools but case knives, cut their way through the solid stone, tunneled underground and made their escape.

In 1864 Morgan was again in the field giving his enemies any amount of trouble. On the 4th of September, 1864, at Greeneville, Tenn., he was surrounded by the enemy, and in attempting to escape was shot and instantly killed.

Exactly...Bennett was definately helping the economy to say the least....I do not know what the big deal is if his kids are not on the street and his wife on the corner asking for handouts....
