Liter Never Saw Time, Say Police
That Gus Eisenberg, the self-named
life prisoner at Fort Madison, never
did time in the institution is the be-
lief Of police, following a letter re-
ceived here from the record clerk in
the office of Warden J c. Sanders The
letter was in answer 10 one sent from
here in which the story Of Eisenberg
was related. He claimed he had
been sent 10 Fort Madison from Sioux
City in 1856 and after serving rs years
had been released The writer asks
for a photograph Of Eisenberg to de-
termine whether or not he had ever
been an inmate of the institution. In
the letter is enclosed the photograph
of one Lee Isenberger, who was ad-
mitted 10 the prison in 1896 and re-
leased in 1900 While il does not
hear any resemblance to Isenberg it
shows a large man, about his size, al
though much younger. The picture,
however. was taken 20 yeafds ago, or
at the time OF Eisenberger's admis-
sion to the institution. A photograph
Of Gus is requested Although Essen
berg had made the statement last
Saturday night and again Sunday
Afternoon he repudiated it on Monday
when he was brought into police
court and stated it was merely a
brain storm, the result of having
taken drugs
