Essex County Sherrif "Black Jack" Johnson ![]() "A little not right in the derby these days, but sharp as a meataxe when spinning a yarn. Blackjack's an open-minded skeptic who strives to see beyond the scene of the crime, whether it be the Witch trials of 1692 or the murder of Capt. White in 1830. However, it seems there's one thing that eludes his inspections..."

Often known as the gentlemen thief, of Ireland's "Robbin Hood". He worked an honest life in Salem until the highway came a calling again.Dressed as a Puritan Clergy Man, or as a woman Captain Light foot was now a fearsome character on New England back roads. Michael Martin was finally nabbed after robbing a General from Boston and put in the old Boston jail.While jailed Martin some how cut off his shackles knocked out a guard ran into a massive oak wall and crashed it to the ground.after a 200 yard chase left 2 more guards knocked out he was again jailed. Martin was hanged in Boston in front of a large crowd, a crowd that he joked with even while standing at the hanging platform.After he noticed 2 black horses and his hearse behind he laughed out loud "I have a private carriage to the after life"then the platform gave way and they say he swayed back and forth with a devilish grin. Michael has returned to show you the darker side of the Salem night, with of course a devilish grin. Click to return!
