He was a Federal Agent for the narcotic division in Chicago.
In December of 1919 while on leave from work he was in New Orleans and got into a mix-up with some local gamblers was arrested and charged with assault with intent to kill and he left without paying his hotel bill. He then wrote a check in Los Angeles for $226 and signed William Douglas Wrigley Jr. to it.
The newspapers mention he had a wife but no name given, they also mention he had a sister named Hilda living in London, England, his prison record states his mother Dora was living in London, England at the time.
I tried looking for more newspaper articles on his jockey days bit didn't find anything, he must not of been a very good one, but it makes an interesting story. Man goes from racing horses to being a Federal Agent then off to the slammer.
I found nothing for him after his stint in prison.
