| Submission declined on 23 September 2024 by PARAKANYAA (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by PARAKANYAA 58 days ago. | |

Walter Jerome Harmon Sr. (known by his aliases Harold Steen, Dr. W Lewis, Herbert Stone ) (November 4th, 1893 - 30 September 1943) was an American bigamist, a furniture salesman and identity thief who was infamous for marrying allegedly up to 18 wives often with a short period to steal money and to check in fraudulent checks.[1] Harmon had an extensive criminal history of falsifying identities by frequently claiming to be a physician or a wealthy businessman.
Harmon was arrested on November 21st, 1923 in Juneau, Alaska, and taken back to Oregon to face a trial of forgery. Harmon was found guilty and sentenced to three years in State Prison, but was released after just two years, he would later be arrested again in 1927 and served time in the Chicago House of Corrections, before being arrested again in 1929 in Cleveland, Ohio and sentenced to 18 months in Federal Prison in Fulton, Georgia of breaking the Mann Act[2][3] He was released in August and was arrested only a week later as he was accused of pretending to be Cary T. Grayson,[4] After a woman had noted that Harmon had been posing as Cary T. Grayson[5][6][7]
Harmon would eventually escape to the West Coast where he would live the rest of his life before dying in September 1943 at age 49.
