Interesting how a couple of his wives committed crimes with him, I wonder if they did time as well. 

I am very sure he did more time in other prisons.

I found him in a 1920 census for Florence Crittenton Home, which was a home for unwed mothers in Topeka, KS. his mom was 17 years old. Be interesting to find out more about this.

I made him a tree on Ancestry and attached everything I found, some family member someday may be surprised. 

Walter died 16 Oct 1986 in Stanfield, AZ

I found his Find A Grave Memorial
