To the devoted Cajun and Negro swampers of Patterson, La., the one-street milltown over which he and his wife (onetime Film Actress Marguerite Clark) reign in baronial style, "Mister Harry" is known as "the Speed Kid." He had already made himself a local god with fast horses, fast automobiles, speed boats, when in 1926 Barnstormer Jimmy Wedell dropped...
