New York Man Sentenced in Paris for Trading with the Enemy
William Silbermann of New York is sentenced in Paris to five years in prison and a francs fine for trading with the enemy. He arrived armed with documents claiming he represented the Knight Rubber Company and secured orders, later denounced by a Serbian contact who linked him to Gottwik Scheffer & Co. of New York. Boston officials confirmed Silbermann claimed to represent King Rubber Company of Hyde Park, Mass, though company reps say they knew him only through New York agents and that he acted without authorization.
