"PRINCE," ORPHAN BOY,
, BANKER IN ILLINOIS SAYS
Harry Ferguson Came From New
York Institution With Other
Youngsters.
BY the Associated Press.


HILLSBORO, Ill, December 10
Harry Ferguson, the Prince of Hi
nois." held for deportation in New
York, is an orphan boy, who was
brought TO Hillsboro, H.. with d
group OF youngsters from a New
York orphanage fifteen years ago,
according to Cashier F. L. McDavid
of the Montgomery County Loan and
Trust Company, who said he had
followed Harrys gradual evolution"
since he tired OF farm life and went
out into the world TO get an educa
tion." and came back as an English
secret service man"
First notoriety was given him, Mr..
McDavid said. he believed, when he
stayed at some exclusive hotels in
st. Louis and announced himself as
n Russian prince. Two st. Louis
newspapers devoted considerable
space to exposing him. Later he ap-
peared in a similar role in Tulsa,
Okla: Wichita, Kans., and St. Paul
and Chicago, in each place getting
some publicity.
Mr.. McDavid said he did not know
that Harry might be Of foreign par
entage. Nothing was known of his
history, he said as the New York
orphanage provided no genealogy
when Harry came.
