That may be true about the handprint but I have found evidence from 2 newspapers that were written the night before the hangings took place. Cambell wasnt even in Cell 17 where they say his handprint is,plus back on that day there wasnt even a cell 17. In my opinion I believe that the handprint STORY is infact only a tourist trap. But the story sure sounds good. I'm sure the jail owners really dont expect anyone to read 19th century newspapers to find out what really happened :)
