MADE MONTANA
TOO HOT FOR HIM
The Real Reason Why Harry Silber-
berg Quit Senator Clark's
Employ.
Reliable Information Indicates That
He Tried to Blackmal
Lady There.
The Credentials OH Which Senator
Clark Accepted Him Were
Forged,

AS a real record Of Harry Silber-
berg, alias j. J. Carlisle, alias ]. j..
Debralls, comes to light, the prisoner
In the Hennepin county Jail figures less
as a modern Jack Shepard and more
as an unprincipled adventurer, and the
glamor with which his own tales have
surrounded him, rapidly disappears.
1t has been stated as coming from
Carlisle that he had a most brllllant
career in Montana, where his
services were discontinued by Senator
Clark only because they were too ex-
nensive Information regarding this
episode, coming from most reilaole
sources shows that Carlisle secured
his position from Senator Ciark tnru @
the medium of forged letter .pur-
porting to come from prominent
citizen of Colorado. After receiving
numerous favors from Senator Clark
he is reported to have attempted to
hlackmail a lady who was near rela-
tive of the senator, and he was, IN
consequence practically run out OF
the state.
Really Sick, but Putting On.
DR.. U. G. Williams and County
Physician Charles M. Kistler made
careful examination of the prisoner as
he Law on his cot in the hospital Ward
of the county Jail this morning. 1t
was found that his temperature was vas
normal. as it has been all during MS
illness. After the examination lhe
two physicians and Aaron S1lperDers'
brother of the prisoner had confer
ence behind closed doors, aIlef WHICH
DR.. Williams said:
.sWhile the man is undoubtedly put
ting quite a bit of it on, he certainty
has a hole in his left lung ana tnat
lung Is partially solid, compelling MN
to depend almost entirely, on ms aa,;ht r,g
lung. There seems to be no doupt
that he has tuberculosis of the lungs
hnt am not prepared to say that his
condition is serious. :, .., 30

But while Silberberg is a sick man,

nainfully labored breathing and voice
hardly stronger than a whisper. This
was the case at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning, but at IL o'clock he was dls-
cussing his case in the presence OF a
third party to him unknown and was
conslgning to unholy places the MINI
neapolis business man who, altho in
terested in his case, did not come to
his rescue.
This morning he was just as he was
when the county physician called on
him yesterday; but within the hour ne
was damning the reportorial fraternity
with a voice and vigor quite in con-
trast to that displayed in the presence
of the two medical men. He Is un-
doubtedly sick, however, ana tolo
Sheriff Dreger that under similar con-
ditions he served but three months OF
the two years sentence imposed on
him at Baden-Baden, Germany.
