Pete De Ande: Burglary

Pete De Ande was born about 1906 in New Mexico.





Inmate: 5110 New Mexico State Prison
Rec: 30 May 1923
Crime: Burglary
Age: 17





By 1923 his father was dead, I found a census record for Pete that said his father was born in Colorado. Pete was in reform school in Colorado before this conviction in July of 1922 he was robbing train cars. 


I found this newspaper clipping:

I found a 1910 census where he was living with his grandfather, It was stated in his prison record the name and address of his Uncle and that is how I searched the census record.
