Suspect case prompts move for Rubenstein as officials weigh fate
City officials sent fingerprints to the Justice Department and await a reply to check up tomorrow. The Sudanese man Rubenstein, described as highly intelligent, suffers severe convulsions and is asked if he wants to see a priest during a spell, prompting investigators to doubt the authenticity of his fits. He vomits food yet remains nourished, while Patrolman Earl Demoss notes Dr. Sudarth’s advice that Rubenstein could be moved to another city or out of town if needed. Clarksburg’s interest in his return is uncertain, with Dr. Flowers treating his narcotic habit and Eminent Domain not yet exercised. Unless immigration or federal authorities intervene, Rubenstein will likely be moved elsewhere.
