Ruth Anita Grant: Forgery

Ruth Anita Grant was born about 1926.

She was Inmate: #7511 Idaho State Prison
Rec: Nov 1948
Crime: Forgery
Term: 14 years
Age: 22











Lesson wasn't learned as she was arrested again in Colorado in 1961 on 2 forgery counts.

I tried to find a newspaper article on that charged but didn't, her name may have changed or she used an alias.

Here is William Smith's records I found.





He didn't have a lawyer and pleaded guilty to forgery, he was confined to hard labor for a term no longer than 14 years. Dated 30 Nov 1948.

Forgery is a white-collar crime that generally refers to the false making or material alteration of a legal instrument with the specific intent to defraud anyone. For instance forging a name on a check or document of some kind.
