He was about 19 at that time. I am not sure just what the charge was. I have been told differnt things, That he stold horses, that he stold saddles, that he bought a stolen horse. There has been so many stories. All I know is he was in jail or prison for about 18 mouths, in McNeil Island, Washington. and that he was aloud to go to grandma's furnal, she died May 27 1946, I have his (ssn) that was esued in Washington and a letter from my grandmother to him while he was there. It is stamped CENSORED and BY (P.) and there is a number on it I belive it is an inmate number (12453.) I was told he was about 17? when he went in and 19? when he got out. My dad became a policeman when I was about 3 years old dad passed away in 1983 he was 56 yeas old. ( IT IS VERY IMPORTENT ) If anyone can help me with this it would be Greatly Appreciated.
