Had a Gay Week in New Fork and the Russell Tragedy
A confused 1900s crime tale follows Malon Walton Russell, a mining operator linked to a Danbury area set in New York. He gambles at the Waldorf, loses 3000 dollars, then tries further play at the Delavan and other spots. After a spree and social entanglements, police take him to police headquarters. Authorities and a lawyer discuss the case as questions swirl about possible self harm or homicide involving a son-in-law. The story recalls a 1898 Van Allis incident and notes Russell’s mental state as unsettled.
