John C Fleming: A Man With Too Many Names

John C Fleming was born 10 Nov 1892 in Arizona, or Ohio
He was a plumber and a farmer. 

As a young boy he was placed in Whittier & Ione Reform Schools, I do not know why, I couldn't find the record. Most likely for robbery. 
He committed robbery in 1916 age 26 and became a career criminal.
