    Notes:

    Residence 1920 • Berkeley, Alameda, California
    [His father] James was apparently never able to keep a job for long, and James Edgar had taken to crime to support himself financially; by age 14 he had already had several arrests.

    Sent to Preston Reformatory Mar 12, 1921 aged 17, he escaped May 7, 1923, but was captured and returned May 26, 1923; according to an "Oakland Tribune" article of 5/23/23, he was shot while escaping from police after a crime spree in the East Ba y and had a loaded gun under his pillow when caught
    Released from Preston Reformatory Aug 4, 1923

    Residence Feb 21, 1927 • San Quentin, Marin, California, USA
    arrived at San Quentin prison for a bank robbery in Richmond, CA; he was arrested for this while in Denver, CO as a student pilot, according to a newspaper article in the" Modesto Herald"
    Release from prison Jan 15, 1936 • San Quentin, Marin, California, USA

    Where he went from here is anybody's guess, as his family had cut him off after his arrest for the bank robbery.

    Apr 5, 1940 • Folsom, Sacramento, California, USA sent to Folsom prison; July 25, 1941 was transferred to San Quentin prison, and was paroled on Aug 24, 1942
