Red Russell Seeks Stockade Over Jail Time
Red Russell told Hecoder Johnson during a police matinee that he would rather go to the stockade than serve fifteen days in the stationhouse. He argued he could not remove his legs at the jail and warned about the “rum beads” in the station. Officers Newport and Arnold arrested him after his mother complained he stayed at home while drunk. The case recalls his prior accident where trains cut off his legs, leading to an $1090 railroad damages payout. The judge ordered him to serve the fifteen days, saying the stockade is the place for him.
