J. j. Carlisle, otherwise Henry Sill

clan now fears that he will not re-

hemorrhages continued last night and
his temperature is high. His pulse

sician, when seen by T h e 10 u rsn a
to-day. "He is tubercular and in my
judgment is just in the right condition
to develop tubercular pneumonia at
any moment. If he does, the chances
are greatly opposed to his recovery.
Carlisle has had a similar attack
on a previous occasion and has long
been suffering from tuberculosis. He
told me his mother sent him to Colo
RADIO for his, health several years ago.
One thing opposed to his recovery Is
the fact that he has no physical con-
stitution. He is little more than a
walking skeleton.
After a. consultation with DR.. Kist-
Ter, Sheriff Dreger issued orders for
bidding all persons to see him except
his wife, Mrs. Bonnie Hinkle Carlisle,
and his physician. In view Of the fact
that he is Of an excitable nature and
that he is in a weak physical condition,
this step was deemed wise.
