He was born in Cambridge in 1899. I'm not sure if the 2 incarcerations are one in the same but I am trying to find out what he was arrested for and have hit a brick wall. Would anyone know how I can find that info out? I have written the Jeffersonian to no avail. All info on him would be very much appreciated. PS I am not IN Ohio.
