KARL KLEEMAN, 27 Years, 5 ft. 9 1/8 in., 158 lbs.; Medium Chestnut hair, Blue Eyes; Medium Complexion; large fresh scar from root of nose down left side to wing. Tattoo Star, Anchor in center, on right forearm. Occupation, machinist. BERNARD HOLTZ, 30 Years, 5 ft. 6 3/4 in., 137 lbs.; Medium Chestnut hair, Blue Eyes; Medium Complexion; Tattoo, Pilot Wheel, P. C. in center on back of right hand, also Anchor above right thumb. Some time during the night of June 23rd, 1911, Kleeman and Holtz escaped from the Hudson County Penitentiary at Snake Hill, where they were serving a sentence for carrying burglar's tools. These men are Germans and have been in this country but a short while, each of them has a criminal record in Europe. If located, arrest and will send officers with necessary papers, forward all information to PATRICK HAYES, Jr., Chief of Police, Hoboken, N. J." They were re-apprehended within weeks of their escape. Given the Bertillon metrics and distinct scars/tattoos, hiding in early 20th-century urban communities was difficult once local precincts shared data. After their arrest for possession of burglar's tools - a common charge used at the time to lock up safe crackers and thieves before they could execute a heist they were sent to the infamous Hudson County Penitentiary at Snake Hill (Secaucus, NJ). Situated on a massive volcanic rock rising out of the Hackensack Meadowlands, Snake Hill was a grim, isolated institutional complex housing an almshouse, an asylum, and the penitentiary. It was considered secure due to the treacherous surrounding swamps. After their capture, they were returned to Hudson County to finish out their maximum sentences with additional time for escape. Both men traveled under multiple alias to throw off authorities across borders. Germany kept meticulous criminal registries and the U.S. police Knew Their Background thanks to the Bertillon System. When Kleeman and Holtz were arrested in New Jersey, the police measured their bodies and recorded their fingerprints. These exact physical dimensions were cross-referenced with international police circulars or shared directly with European agencies (often via letters and steamships). Because German police meticulously recorded Bertillon metrics for repeat offenders, New Jersey authorities were able to definitively match the physical profiles of "Kleeman" and "Holtz" to active criminal profiles filed under their aliases in Germany. They were part of a wave of professional European criminals who migrated to rapidly growing American cities like New York and Hoboken, wrongly assuming American police wouldn't be able to trace their overseas pasts. 1911 was the turning point when fingerprinting officially took over law enforcement in the United States. The Hoboken Police Department was operating during a major forensic transition. The poster itself captures a unique moment in history where police were using both systems simultaneously to double their chances of catching a fugitive. On the poster, beneath the Bertillon bone measurements, you will see a specific string of numbers and letters for each man: Kleeman: [5 R 10 / 17 R 11] 13. American history that a court legally accepted fingerprint evidence to convict someone of a crime (a murder case). (ilustrador).…
