Typed document with affixed mugshot and stamped fingerprints. Columbus, Ohio, 4 January 1928. 2 pages.

Interesting Columbus, Ohio police mugshots of a handsome young ne’er-do-well named Princeton Hosier. The photographs - one straight on, one a side profile - are mounted on a card that also contains Hosier’s typewritten personal information. Hosier was apparently arrested for petit larceny on New Year's Eve 1927 and spent 30 days in jail. One wonders if New Year's Eve celebrations got out of hand! He remained in the Columbus area for the rest of his life, finding employment as both a sheet metal worker and, interestingly enough, a “pugilist.”
