Old School Mugshots From Nebraska
Criminals in Nebraska in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s looked a lot classier than they do today. Check these (literally) bad boys and girls out.
First up a wonderfully moustached Albert Johnson:
Albert Johnson – moustache and head shaved because of prison lice.
Bert Martin – arrested for stealing horses. It later transpired that she was actually a woman. This revelation shortened her sentence. The prison system couldn’t wait to get rid of this “monstrosity”.
Bertha Liebbeke, known as fainting Bertha. She would pretend to faint near well dressed gentlemen, then pickpocket them.
Charles Davis / Martin – Bank Robber
Frank L. Dinsmore – Double Murder
George H. Ray – 10 Years Manslaughter
George Leonard – Burglary
Goldie Williams – Vagrancy – refused to look at the camera.
Herbert Cockran – Burglary – refused to face the camera.
James Collins – injury sustained during a failed escape from the police.
James Whitewater – jailed for murder, converted to Christianity, behaved so well inside that he was released earlier than expected. He ran straight outside and rolled in the grass.
Jim Ling – Opium Den Owner
Minnie Bradley – Larceny
Mrs Adams – Prostitute
Nora Courier – Horse Stealing
Mr Robinson
