I've always been more suspicious it's a 'mechanical turk' than a 'clever hans'.
How could he not make the source code public? Who does he think he is, Microsoft?
Well winning the traveler tournament and designing circuits is a bit too much for just a person. Eurisko had to have done something, even if it had help or it's abilities were exaggerated. I think it's unlikely it didn't exist at all or was totally faked.
My guess is he exaggerated what it was capable of. It's also possible it really did work and he planned on capitalizing on it. Or maybe he was legitimately scared of it falling into the wrong hands and becoming unfriendly AI.
