Record:

YOUNG RUDOLPH is, perhaps, one of the smartest young thieves in America. He has just started out, and from his career so far he is calculated to develop into a firstclass man. He is pretty well known in all the Eastern cities, especially in New York and Boston, where his picture is in the Rogues' Gallery. He is an associate of Frank Watson, alias Big Patsey, Little Eddie Kelly, Jack McCormack, alias Big Mack, and Charles Lewis, all notorious east side, New York, thieves. Lewis was arrested in New York City on September 22,1883, charged with stealing a piece of silk, valued at $100, from the store of Lewis Brothers, No. 86 Worth Street, New York. He forfeited his bail and went to Boston, Mass., where he was arrested for shoplifting, and sentenced to eighteen months in the House of Correction, on November 19, 1883, under the name of Rudolph Miller. His time expired in Boston on April 25, 1885, when he was re-arrested on a requisition, and brought back to New York, to answer for the larceny of the piece of silk. Lewis pleaded guilty in the silk case, and was sentenced to two years in Sing Sing prison, on April 3, i885, by Judge Cowing. His sentence will expire on December 30, 1886. Young Rudolph's picture is a good one, taken in September, 1883.
