No. The lawyer that took up the challenge to be imprisoned for fifteen years was a real, living, walking, talking, breathing, solid state man. He was attending a social gathering at the banker's house. The group of men that were there got into a lively discussion about which is more moral and humane -- capital punishment or life in prison. The banker supported the idea that capital punishment is the better choice, while the lawyer argued that life in prison is better. He argued that way, because he believed that any life was better than no life at all. The banker then suggested that they make a bet over the issue. He bet two million rubles that the lawyer couldn't stay in solitary confinement for five years. The lawyer more or less said no problem and then upped the ante to fifteen years. During his imprisonment, the lawyer had to be fed, which is further evidence of him not being a ghost.
