Atlanta, Ga., July 16—It has devel- oped within the last day or two that a prisoner in the Georgia penitentiary is a son of a New York millionaire.

Harcourt was charged with having run away with some diamonds belonging to the daughter of a promi- nent family in Columbus. He pleaded guilty to the indictment, and was given the minimum sentence. After receiv- ing sentence he was leased to a brick manufacturer, who operates near At- lanta. A few days ago Harcourt's wife called on Gov. Northen and 4 pealed to him to pardon her husband. She was recognized as Mrs. Albert Buckner, nee Shields, of Knoxville. She admits that her husband is a son of a New York millionaire. Harcourt, or Buckner, intimates that he pleaded guilty to save the reputation of the young lady involved in the case. Gov. Northen has not given a decision ir the appeal for pardon. ‘ { i AMERICAN’S DROWNED. They Were Summer Visitors in Prince Edwards Island.
