One of the numbers dialed out from Palfrey's phone on the afternoon of Jan. 3, 2001 matches that of the Tribune national desk.

Palfrey posted the phone bills for her agency, Pamela Martin and Associates, on-line, in a bid, she's said, to smoke out customers who will support her contention that services rendered were legal.

Palfrey's lawyer, Montgomery Blair Sibley was no help in understanding the circumstances or content of the approximately two and a half minute call to one of the more sober and serious
corners of the Tribune.

"I can shed no light on that at all....That's not the traditional look for a customer call. Usually there are two or three in an hour or so. The customer calls back for directions, confirming, things like that," Sibley said in a brief phone interview.

"But that doesn't mean it couldn't have been an appointment," Sibley said, or a personal call of Palfrey's.

"You can't eliminate any possibility."
