The above article says he had 3 cases against him at the sametime. Busy boy. It also explains more about his suicide attempt, which would not be his only attempt at it.
Inmate: #21353 San Quentin Prison
Rec: 18 Oct 1905
Crime: Larceny
Term: 5 Yrs
Age: 29
These newspaper articles from 1904 San Francisco.
From 1905 Newspapers he tried to kill himself in his cell.
He was also wanted in 1910
Here are some very interesting newspaper articles.
I found no newspapers article on the above crime and he disappears after this. I searched everything and under all his alias, nothing not even one census record. I do not know if he had ever married and I did not find a connection to his supposed father either. Mystery man for sure, only newspapers and prison records mark his life from 1903 to 1910. Who was he really? Did he finally succeed in killing himself?
I made a tree and maybe someone someday will have the answers.
