Albert married first to Goldie Radcliffe 3 Sep 1894

His 2nd wife was Claudie M Mahan they married in California in 1899. They had a son Albert Webb Meloling the 3rd 1900-1928
Aimee and Albert were high society staying in fancy hotels like the Ormode. He was a Dyer and she was a nurse. Although they were both from fine families with good upbrings, they were burglars. They would go into other peoples rooms and steal things. Once Aimee stole a diamond ring which Albert gave to his sister.
The good times ran out when they and a 19 year old accomplice named Ninon Goode were all arrested for 2nd degree burglary.
After the trial Albert was placed at Folsom prison on 8 Jun 1905 as Inmate # 6136
Aimee was taken to San Quentin on 8 Jun 1905 as Inmate # 21178
