Just Natural Criminal Is This Young Man,
Who Will Be Old When Liberated
. . "Harrourt'n is the perfect crim
inal mind," said Prosecuting At
tonic Caldirell of Seattle, of J.
P.Harrourt, alia* Blyirtone, alaia
Warrenton, alia* Hill, who ia an
der lentence to 28 to 85 years In
the penitentiary for forgery.
"I do not mean," Caldwell
added, "that Harcourt la a clever
criminal. I mean that his mind
Is criminal. I do not believe he'
has ever had an honest impulse.
For instance, most criminals lie
before conviction, but after con
viction at least feel the impulse
to confess. The' penitent mood
comes to most wrongdoers. Not
so with Harcourt. We have
watched him. Every word he
speaks or writes, every change
ing expression of his face —it Is
a very good face, every act of
bis is a lie."
Will Be Old When Freed.
Harcourt, in Jail, was asked by
The Times photographer this
morning to pose for his picture.
lie ia 33 years old. If he es
capes with the minimum he will
| be an old man when he regains
his freedom —If he lives that
long.
He squared his shoulder
Jauntily and laughed. "Sure," he
said. Guarded by deputies, he
posed in the court house, yard.
: Every deptuy bad a hand in a
. pocket and on a gun,? Harcourt's
bold eyes roved. His mind
weighed the chances of a get
away. He concluded it wasn't
worth risking.
Click went the camera. The
criminal, for a space of 10 sec
onds, let his igaze wander —to
sky, to houses and trees, to free
men and women bent on honest
business. He took a deep breath
of free air, sighed, and daughed
again.
And then be went back to his
cell.
Eight Years of Crime.
Harcourt began operating on
the Pacific coast eight years ago.
He came from Pennslvania, where
his parents, respectable people,
Btill live. He is a college man.
He hag served two short peniten
tiar terms, at Walla Walla, and
at Salem, Ore.
He is a perfect actor. He as
sumed half a dozen roles at a
time, and played them all. His
graft was small checks. For a
while In Seattle he was "H. W.
- Hillman of the Hlllman Hardware
company," in business circles,
and at tbe same time at the
Lincoln hotel he was "J. F. War
renton."
When he (led to escape arrest
be was traced to the St. Francis
hotel, San Francisco. When de
tectives broke into his room and
said: "Harcourt, we want you,"
he laughed and said: "Good joke,
I'm waiting for Harcourt. My
name's Butler."
He was caught puzzling over
a cipher telegram. "I'm a play
wright," he said, "and this code
telegram works into the plot."
And on the spur of the moment
he sketched the plot for the de
tectives.
Tnroiiin Woman's Warning.
But the officers got the key to
the code and read a Tacoma
woman's warning to Harcourt
that the Seattle police "wanted"
him and to fly.
Harcourt changed his name so
often and moved about so rapid
ly that he had the police of the
coast mystified. Three years ago

The Peevish Child
Needs a Laxative
It Is natural for a child to laugh
and play and when it Bulks drowsi
ly or cries you may depend on It
something physical la the matter.
If you see no evidences of a serious
ailment you will fiot be wrong- If
you quietly give It a dose of mild
laxative that evening on putting It
to bed.
The remedy most generally rec
ommended for this purpose Is Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
mothers throughout the country
have been giving their children for
a quarter of a century. Today
thousands of families are using It
where hundreds used It then, and
there must be good reason for this
word of mouth recommendation.
It Is admittedly the perfect laxa
tive for children, women, old peo
ple and all others who need a gen
tle bowel stimulant and not a vio
lent salt, cathartic pill or doctored
water. Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepslp
