Have you figured out who this man is?
I was floored when I figured it out, as I only started with the District of Columbia police record and this is where it lead me. To a serial killer, Albert Fish. Albert was a nickname. Although he had tons of alias, I found his Sing Sing Record for 1935 for murder.
One never knows where the records can lead you and what kind of story they can tell.
