Jacob A. (Jacob August) Riis (1849-1914)
Rogue's Gallery, Funeral Wells & Sofy Levy; and 2 other women thieves -- the prettiest & the ugliest in the Rogue's Gallery put together. The Pretty one is a blackmailer; the ugly one a horse theif.
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.
