Frank J Edwards: Burglary & Robbery

Frank J Edwards was born 10 Aug 1915 in Texas to Mrs. Nellie M Ordish (1894-????).




 Inmate: #58978 San Quentin Prison (California)

Rec: 8 May 1936

Crime: Robbery 1st Degree

Age: 22

Alias: F. E, Marshbanks





Inmate: #23224 Folsom Prison

Rec: 20 Aug 1940

Crime: Robbery 1st degree & Robbery 2nd Degree

Age: 25

This was a transfer from San Quentin, this is what usually happened when a prisoner was not as much of risk or was about to be paroled.


Here are some newspaper articles I found for his 1936 crime.




I didn't find anything for his 1940 crime.

His mother was re-married I did not find his father, so he may have died when Frank was younger. Frank also had prison sentences in Texas as well.

I find it strange that the District Attorney would only charge him with robbery, why not throw the book at him?
