He gets out of McNeil Island and he is caught again, on more Federal charges.
He was arrested here at his home 208 South 28th St, Billings, MT.
I looked on the National Archives for these records thinking he may have been sent to Leavenworth, but I didn't find any and the McNeil records only go to 1938 on Ancestry.
I found this newspaper article from 1944 in Nevada.
I found a marriage record for 30 Sep 1918 in Perryville, MO to Minnie May Belville, I am not 100% this is him, as I didn't find any other records of them together. There was a daughter Audrey I Taber Born abt 1902.

One would think he had many wives as he lived in many different places, even as a child they moved everywhere, from Missouri to Oklahoma to Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Nevada, just a few I have documentation on. I am sure there where more places.
These were John's Siblings:

Iris Bertie Taber
1889–1975

Luella May Taber

I would of liked to of known what he died from, maybe a bar fight? Make it more interesting. Guess we'll just have to wait for family to answer that question.
