Inmate: #3876 Idaho State Prison
Rec: 30 Dec 1927
Crime: Grand Larceny

Age: 20










He was pardoned 4 Jan 1929. I looked through newspapers and didn't find anything on what  his crime was, but I found a small article on him going to prison. 

 His family was a very community oriented, and Mormons to boot, so this would of brought shame to them.
