[or-roots] Portland arrest records

[Leslie Chapman]

Elaine;

It appears that you have to go to the archives in person to obtain info;

http://www.portlandonline.com/auditor/index.cfm?&a=63048&c=27406

has an email link you can check that fact on. Also you should ask if they
even  have records that old.

Subject: [or-roots] Portland arrest records


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
