had registered sure enough, but that
he had done so under the name of J.
J. McKnight. When arraigned on his
charge Harry said "guilty” and re

time that his true name was Harry
Desmond.
On arriving in Portland, the man
with many names was arrested by
the police at the request of Special
Agent W. R. Bryon of the Fedral De
partment of Justice. When his regis

found to contain the name of Harry
