Description
Mug shots depicted differ from title description. Based on descriptive information in Thomas Byrnes's "Professional Criminals of America" (1886 and 1895), the image purported to be of James "Funeral" Wells does not look like him. According to Byrnes, Sofy Levy's real name was Sophie Lyons.
