She was caught after the first stagecoach she robbed, but had the luck to be put up to be hung with the McBlack brothers, and she was cut down by their gang at the same time.
Unlike them, she chose to keep the noose as a souvenir, wearing it around her neck at all times. When asked, she would say it was a reminder to her how little she cared for feeling the rope once, and that she wouldn't feel it again.
She never did. But only because the Sheriff's bullet that took her down missed the rope by inches.
