Denise,

Would there be a court record if the charges were dropped?
thanks

I think that records for Portland would be at the Multnomah County
Courthouse and possibly printed in the Oregonian.  The Portland public
library has a card file for indexing old Oregonians.  I don't recall the
years it covers tho.

The court records for the case tho should be at the courthouse.

Does anyone know if there are arrest/jail records for the Portland city
jail in 1903. I have the exact date (Nov. 7) and the names of the people
involved.

My great grandfather, William Wolfson was arrested in Portland with a
woman, Fanny Ruloff (not his wife) and his 8 year old son. I can't believe
they locked the kid up in the jail with his father.

My great grandmother had him arrested for nonsupport/desertion.

I found several articles in the Portland papers about this and wanted to
see if there is an official record.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

thanks
Elaine
