Mugshot of Joseph Whitney, age 32, who was arrested for passing a worthless check. Born in indianapolis, Indiana, he worked as a horse man. It is noted that he has a woman tattooed on his left arm along with a horse head. Whitney was arrested on February 2, 1903. Further research shows that he attempted to pay for a $15 overcoat with a forged check for $30.
