DOPE FIEND ENTERS OFFICES
OF TWO PHYSICIANS; FOUND
Piercing FLESH With NEEDLE

and was lying in this, his clothes sop
ping wet. "A large lump on his throat
ettracted Taylor's attention. He ex-
amined this and found that Hill had
injected cocaine there. This produced
choking and, later in the evening,
the victim almost choked to death.
Hills grip on one Of the syringes was
vise-like. Both of the syringes were
broken.
Hill was in very dazed condition
and spoke disconnectedly. The off,
Ger finally found out that he was
about 30 years Of age, was married,
but had no children. He has been a
dope-user for four years. He original
ly contracted the habit in school. He
studied hard and, to Offset this, pur-
chased cocaine in tablet form. This
he would crunch into bits and. snuff
it. Later on, this method failed to
bring about desired results, so he
started using the needle. His crav-
ing for the drug is terrible. He was
dressed In very ragged clothes and
his whole appearance was decidedly
unkempt. Despite this, he appeared
quite intelligent and probably had
good educational facilities.
On his way to the county Jail where
Hill was lodged over night, the fiend
told officer Taylor and Sheriff Wal
ter B. Mossholder that he was bound
for Chicago where he was going to
enter some institution for treatment
However, as Sheriff Mossholder said,
it was hard to tell anything about
him, as he was such confirmed dope
fiend.
It has not been decided just what
will be done with Hill, but it is
thought that the best thing to do with
him will be to put him on the train
and send him home, as he no more
than gets out of jail than he is break
ing into some physicians Office.
This Is tie first morphine fiend that
the police department of Mt. Vernon
has had to handle for some time and
it is probable that no more are want
ed by Officer Taylor or any other
members of the local force.
1t is actually amazing what Hills
pockets gave up when they were gone
through in police court Monday. The
hypodermic needles that he stole at
the office of DR.. Colville, which num-
bered three, are excluded. The con-
tents of his pockets were as follows:
several metal hypodermic syringes,
one large aluminium case in which
few of the articles were found, five
or six all-glass hypodermic syringes
and several broken walls. This evil
IDENTIFY constituted the paraphernalia
Hill used in his fiendish use of drugs.

investigating case of destitute

dead and there are four children. A
little boy died last week. Three of
the children are girls and the other
boy 16 years old. The family has
little to eat and relies entirely on the
young boy for support. The officials
concluded that 1t would be best to
place the children in the Children's

before doing this on account OF the
death in the family.

VICTIMS CONDITION
rs MOST PITIFUL
Officials Are Puzzled AS To
Disposition Of Harvey
Hill

Arrested after breaking into DR.. ].
M. Humphreys office Saturday night,
taken to the city jail from which he
broke out later, and re-arrested Sun
day afternoon in DR.. R. w. Colville's
office by officer James Taylor is the
brief career in this city of confirm
ed dope fiend who gave his name to
the authorities as Harvey Hill and
his residence as Pittsburgh, Pa.
Saturday evening, DIR. j. M. Pun
phrey was attracted to his Office by a
slight noise. Going there, he found
Hill seated on chair in his inner of.
flee. DR.. Humphrey asked Hill if he
had a key to the Office and received
a negative reply. The doctor made
an excuse to leave the office for mo-
ment and called the police. Hill, evil
IDENTIFY thinking DR.. Pumphrey had de-
termined on some such course, left
the office, but was caught on West
High street by the police.
DR.. Pumphrey said that when he
entered the Office, Hill told him he
had carbuncle on his neck which he
wanted lanced. DR.. Pumphrey was at
a loss to know how Hill had entered
the office without key until he
found q small window in the hall
open. Evidently Hill had entered by
way of this window.
Hill was taken to the city prison
where he was confined in one of the
small cells. During the night, Eer-
vey made his escape and was not
heard of until officer James Taylor
found him on the floor of DIR. r. w.
Colville's office Sunday afternoon
wildly piercing his skin with long
hypodermic needle charged with CO.
,caine.
Sunday morning it was discovered
that Hill had escaped from his cell
by removing several loose boards and
knocking the outer bricks away. Of
iicer Taylor was given orders to find
the man If possible.
From what he had heard of Hills
experience with DR.. Pumphrey, Off
GER Taylor thought that probably the
man would be found in one of the To-
cal physicians office. His surmise
turned out to be correct.
Entering DR.. Colville's office, Off,
Ger Taylor found the dope fiend lying
on the floor, wildly exultant over the
discovery of comparatively large
bottle Of cocaine, and driving the vic
ious needle its full length-about an
mch-into his skin on his breast. His
shirt was torn open at the front and
his breast was streaming with blood.
As Officer Taylor expressed it, the
sight was the most horrible, and at
the same time pitiable, that he had
seen for some time.
There was scarcely place, so 1t
appeared to the officer, on Hills
stomach which did not show the mark
of the needle. The, man had two
syringes in his handsome filled with
water and the other with cocaine. He
had upset bottle containing water
