Boronda, Bertha - 1908

Bertha Boronda was sentenced to five years in prison for “Mayhem” in 1908.

Since the newspaper article date and the date in the photo differ so much, I'm inclined to think that the 'mug shots' are from the prison in which she did her time.  Also, the newspaper article is from San Jose, California, and the 'mug-shots' are from Santa Clara, Nat. Minnesota.







 The following is the article from the Santa Cruz Sentinel - 2 June 1907  Page 6
