About Joseph Wright Harriman
Joseph Wright Harriman was the president of Harriman National Bank and Trust Company and member of the wealthy Harriman family. He was the nephew of railroad tycoon Edward H. Harriman and cousin of diplomat, statesman and future New York Governor W. Averell Harriman. In 1934, he was convicted of bank fraud and sent to Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary, where he served 25 months of his 4+1⁄2-year sentence before receiving parole. Between his arraignment and the start of his trial, Harriman twice walked away from care facilities, and his attorneys tried, without success, to establish that he was incompetent to stand trial.
