I only found one newspaper article about his crime.






He must of gotten out of prison by 1931 because I found an add for him asking for a job.




Notice they stated he was a halfwit, and labeled as a Rape Fiend. He had a bad reputation according to the newspaper article. This case is so sad, I wonder why he wasn't committed to a asylum, usually back then that's what happened with children that had mental problems.
