ry and part at
the State Penitentiary. In the fall of 1907 he was paroled, but broke
his parole by enlisting in the army, under the name of Kimlicka, at
Fort Snelling, Minn. About a month later the fraud was discovered
through his father. He was given a dishonorable discharge and sent
back to the penitentiary, where he remained about six months. At the
end of this time (December, 1907) he was granted another parole, and
went to work for a man named George Hall, on a farm in Minnesota. He
was there nearly two months, when he cut his foot while chopping wood.
He says that after this accident he was not able to do much work, and
his employer did not seem to like to have him hanging around, so he
went back to prison, which he says paroled prisoners were supposed to
do when they lost their jobs. As his time was up in two months, the
prison authorities made no effort to get him a new job, but kept him
there until his sentence expired. He left the penitentiary in March,
1908, and went home for a couple of weeks. He then went to Minneapolis
and enlisted in the navy under the name of James Hall, but did not
tell the recruiting officer about his prison or army experiences.
About four months after he enlisted he was caught with another sailor
in civilian's clothes in Newport, R.I. This was against the navy
regulations. Patient says he did this because they did not allow him
in dance halls, theaters, etc., in sailor's clothes. He used to keep
his civilian's clothes in the Y. M. C. A. building in town, and would
change there. He received a dishonorable discharge for this escapade.
He says he had one court-martial before that, in July, 1908. He then
went to Providence, R.I., and enlisted in the army under the name of
Herman Hanson. In Fort Andrews, Boston Harbor, patient was caught in
civilian's clothes again, and got into a brawl with a sergeant.
Patient says the sergeant was drunk and provoked the quarrel. As a
result the patient was put in the guard-house, receiving a sentence of
six months and dishonorable discharge. Two months of this sentence he
served at Fort Andrews, and the rest at Governor's Island. After being
discharged, he hung around New York City for a week, and then went to
Rochester, N.Y. This was in May, 1909. Here he worked on a farm for
Mrs. McCale, and the following month, June, 1909, he enlisted in the
Marine Corps under the name of Vilt. He was
