Edward W Gaddin or Monte Wilson: Life of Crime

 Edward W. Gaddin, had several alias' Edward Gardiner, William Gardiner& Monte Wilson, I believe Monte may have been his birth name.


Inmate: #16110 Folsom Prison

Rec: 7 Feb 1930

Crime: Robbery 1st Degree

Sentence: Life



I found some wonderful newspaper clippings.
Monte had been in trouble with the law since he was 15, being in and out of prisons in New York, Georgia & California. Those are just the ones we know about.
