Thurber case linked to multiple prison records in Ohio and California
A patient at City Hospital admitted serving a one to a year term in Ohio Penitentiary for forgery and later records show Ralph Thurber served time in San Quentin for forgery. Police linked desertion from the Army and acquittal for attempted robbery in San Francisco, with warrants for grand larceny. A Lockport source said Thurber's mother left for Ohio and he was shell shocked in France. He later moved to Lutheran Hospital for illness blamed on spoiled fish, then to City Hospital with possible distomiasis.
