No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. Wanted Poster 20 x 20 cm. In acid free Mylar sleeve. Will be shipped flat between heavy cardboard layers, never rolled. Stein was arrested for the crime of "sus'' and the disposition is listed as "Pend." In 1930 "sus" meant the individual was arrested on suspicion of a crime rather than a specific charge. In the early 20th century, police routinely arrested people under vagrancy or "suspicion" laws to hold them at the station. This gave detectives time to interrogate them, take their fingerprints, and check if they matched any open cases. The "Disposition" line has the word "Pend" which stands for Pending, meaning the police were still investigating to see if they could officially charge him with a specific crime. The term "sus" became famous in England via the "Sus Law" (officially Section 4 of the Vagrancy Act 1824), which allowed police to arrest anyone they suspected was a loiterer or frequenting a space with intent to commit a felony. Ted S. Stein was picked up by the Akron police simply because he looked suspicious or fit the description of an ongoing investigation, and they were holding him while they figured out what to do next. Because his crime was listed as "Sus." (Suspicion) and the disposition was "Pend." (Pending), it is very likely that he was released without ever being formally charged or arraigned. Investigative "vagrancy" and "suspicion" detentions during this era rarely resulted in a permanent criminal trial record unless further evidence was uncovered. On the front side of the card, the entire Criminal History table is blank. This indicates that at the time of his arrest in July 1930, the Ohio State Bureau of Criminal Identification had no prior criminal records, aliases, or past convictions on file for him. His nationality is listed as "Am Hebrew" (American Hebrew) and born in Pennsylvania circa 1895. [Recto: Image 1] OHIO STATE BUREAU OF CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION AND INVESTIGATION Address: P. O.

ALS. 2pgs. February 2, 1932. Lyndon Center, Vermont. An autograph letter signed Arthur Merrill Oliver Smith and addressed to his parents. Writing during the Great Depression, Smith, who was probably a student at the Lyndon Institute boarding school, regrets that he cannot come home for the weekend due to a lack of money but instructs his parents not to send more on his behalf: Dear Mother and Dad, I had a dandy little day, or as dandy as could be expected in a place like this. I got a spauling of sixteen apiece and that was just about 160 whacks too much. I am going to tell you that I am sorry that I will have to stay up here over the weekend because my financial standing is not to allow me to come home but dont think anything is wrong it is only the depression and I will be able to make arrangements to stay here because one of my pals is staying here and I can stay with him. Dont send me any more money to come home on because Ill see if I can help out by not spending any more money than I have to. Write again soon and tell me what you think of it. I have paid all my bills and I will be able to make out O.K. Write soon. Much Love Your 16 yr old Son Arthur Merrill Oliver Smith (Amos) (Budge) (Smith). A touching little anecdote showing how the Great Depression affected people of all ages and statuses. The letter is in fine condition.…
