This is my gg-uncle Sandor Gottfried, apparently in a prison record for the crime of "theft," in a record from the Royal Criminal Court of Budapest Prison (original record is indexed at https://archives.hungaricana.hu/hu/lear/Fogoly/240965/ )

If they appear on the record, I would be particularly interested in the details of Sandor's crime and punishment, as well as any details of where he was living at the time, or any other relatives besides his parents who might have been mentioned.

(About all I know for sure of Sandor is that his parents were Jakob Gottfried and Biri/Borisch Sparger, and that he was born in Bekecs in Zemplen county circa 1884, so I'm curious whether he was already living in Budapest in 1902 or whether this crime occurred elsewhere. My family lore is that Sandor died in Hungary in the 1918-19 influenza pandemic.)
