vintage cowboy: arizona outlaw

This is a vintage picture of a cowboy criminal. I don't know what the crime was, or the year. Not unusual for my collection, since my great-grandpa and probably others in the family were lawmen in the Arizona area.

but why would he be a criminal? can't he be
just a less fortunate relative?

It's a mugshot, basically. I have others
like this, other men. My past relatives were
lawmen in Arizona, and even my grandmother
and mom knew these were pictures of
criminals.

Sorry, I don't see this guy as a criminal. He
appears to be standing in front of a painted
canvas backdrop of some kind, either
religious-themed or pioneer-themed, and the
floor is a tiled or painted parquet. No
cuffs, no shackles. His boots and hat seem to
be in pretty good shape, and his beard and
hair are neatly trimmed. The coat, shirt and
pants all look a little trail-worn, but there
are no holes I can see. He looks more like a
farm or ranch worker who decided to have his
picture taken at the annual county/state
fair. I'm thinking that thing in his hands is
some kind of flyer, program or perhaps
religious pamphlet. Also, the picture shows
signs in the corners of having been mounted.
This was somebody loved by family, don't you
think? If your relatives are lawmen, this may
have been one of their deputies.
If you copy this pic and take it into
Photoshop, there's some inverted lettering on
the lower edge that says
"Eastman-Nitrate-Kodak 122." Type
122 film was introduced in 1903, and was
3-1/4 x 5-1/2, according to this site: www.sharlot.org/archives/photographs/19th/boo
k/chapter_3....
Something else odd: His feet appear
strangely small compared to his hands.

hank - of course I have no way of knowing for
sure, since I'm just going by what my
grandparents told me.
