18995150Kansas City Mo 1899. Very good. Ten carte-de-visite photographs 4 x 2.5 inches or slightly smaller on thick cardboard mounts four with partially-printed "rap sheets" on verso completed in manuscript. Occasional edge and surface wear as well as generally light dust-soiling. A nice group. A group of ten fabulous mugshot photographs or studio portraits featuring criminals in the last few years of the 1800s in Kansas City Missouri. Four of the photographs are particularly interesting for the personal and criminal history information recorded on their versos. These photographs are pre-printed with a list of fields to be filled out by the criminal or perhaps the jailer. The combination of fields varies slightly on three of the four cards but generally they all ask for similar information including name; aliases nationality age height weight eye color hair color complexion occupation or "Criminal Occupation" the pertinent crime place of arrest arresting officer date date of arrest and distinguishing marks or "Peculiarities of Build Features Scars Marks etc.". <br /> <br /> One of the mugshots is that of James Carrington Francis 1869-1892. At the bottom of his card is written: "Killed at Pleasanton KS for Pacific Ex Robbery Jan. 23 '92." Francis had indeed taken part in the robbery of the Frisco Express out of St. Louis on the night of November 30 1891. During the robbery two masked men boarded that train as it was leaving St. Louis. They remained in seclusion until they had traveled a few miles and then presented pistols to the heads of the engineer and fireman. They ordered them to stop at the point where two accomplices of the highwaymen were stationed. The engineer and fireman were then ordered from the cab and kept covered while the party proceeded to the express car where the robbers demanded admission but were refused by the messenger. The robbers then set off a stick of dynamite and blew in the side of the car seriously injuring the messenger. They then entered blew open the safe and after taking $10000 made their escape. The Pinkerton Detective Agency and Chief of Detectives Desmond of St. Louis investigated the case and gathered evidence which convinced them that the robbers were Marion Hedgepeth Dink Wilson Adelbert Slye and James Francis.<br /> <br /> The other three men whose photographs are supplemented with personal information include Frank Norris Patrick Raine and George Conley. Oddly enough the crimes of all four men are not stipulated on the present photographs. Norris was a baker by trade with a scar on the palm of his hand and a "knuckle knocked down" who was arrested on October 5 1895. Patrick Raine was a waiter with a forearm tattoo and "2 vax scars on left arm" arrested on January 24 1899. George Conley alias George Baker or George King was a brakeman arrested on July 12 1897. The remaining photographs do not include identifying information save for two with penciled names on the verso and one with a studio stamp from J.V. Dabbs in Fort Scott Kansas but were found with the previous four photographs and would likely reward further research into the Wild West criminal world of late-19th century Kansas. unknown
