Timeline

1900

Harry Pierpont was the middle child with an older sister Fern (b. September 21, 1900), who died of tuberculosis when he was a teenager, and a younger brother Fred (b. July 5, 1906).

His father was from Kentucky, and his mother, from Jay County, Indiana, was of German ancestry.

1902

Harry "Pete" Pierpont (October 13, 1902 – October 17, 1934) was a Prohibition era gangster, convicted murderer and bank robber.

He was a friend and mentor to John Dillinger.

Described as handsome and soft-spoken, Pierpont was a bright, natural-born leader.

Fiercely loyal, he had a reputation for taking care of those around him and not squealing on his friends.

He disliked publicity, and was content to let others, especially Dillinger, take credit for the bold bank robberies committed after the Michigan City prison break.

By the 1910 census, the family was residing at 1145 McLain Street in Indianapolis, Indiana, where Harry's father's occupation was listed as a woodworker at a carriage factory.

1911

In the 1911 and 1912 directories of the city of Indianapolis, the family was living at 1234 Lee Avenue.

His demeanor was changed after the accident, and Pierpont complained of eye problems, dizziness and headaches.

Pierpont displayed bouts of sleeplessness and mania for firearms.

He stood over six feet tall, with light brown hair and blue eyes.

The second and third toes of his feet were grown together.

In 1921 at Indianapolis, Pierpont was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon.

He was held for ten days and then dismissed.

Concurrently with his first arrest, Pierpont was committed to the state hospital.

In the Record of Inquest held on September 19, 1921, his mother states that he became sullen, suspicious, and prone to outbursts after his injury and, two days later, he was committed to the state hospital for the mentally ill, Central Indiana Hospital.

Pierpont was diagnosed with dementia praecox of the hebephrenic type.

1922

On January 2, 1922, Pierpont stole an automobile in Indianapolis and drove to Greencastle, where he robbed the Cook Hardware store, stealing 9 handguns.

Five days later, Pierpont was arrested in Indianapolis for attempted auto theft and battery with intent to kill.

The owners of the automobile, Mr. and Mrs. Devine, caught him in the act.

Struggling with Mr. Devine, Pierpont fired a gun, slightly wounding him.

Mrs. Devine was holding a roast, and hit Pierpont over the head with it.

While being held in jail at Terre Haute, Pierpont failed in an escape attempt, sawing through the bars of his cell.
