Another great mugshot! This is Edward Burch, age 19, who was picked up by New Orleans police on June 30, 1912.

Before you scroll down, ask yourself, what crime do you think Edward Burch committed? (allegedly)

Did you guess Edward Burch was accused of the crime of sneak thievery? Probably not, since that’s not a charge people get charged with these days!

What’s a sneak thief, you ask? According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, is one who steals without breaking into buildings or using violence.

I don’t believe this guy would’ve been capable of a serious crime but I could see the sneak thief charge!
