He was for Standard Oil Co as a telephone and telegraph engineer. He was of medium heighth and build, with blue eyes and light hair. This appears to have been the same individual, but this should be verified.

He was a roomer at a Hotel, and listed as age 46, divorced (having married at age 31), born in Illinois as were his parents, and working as an Electrical Engineer in Film Production.
