Russell, President of the Law and Order Society of the State, who went to Coney Island Monday and indulged too freely in the cup that eheers. All accounts agree, however, that Dr. Russell, after seeing all that was to be seen at the islaud, began to drink wine. Dr. Russell explains that he fell from grace while trying to get evi- dence against Coney Ieland saloon- keepers. “I did drink,” be said. “I drank vichy when I could; but, you under- stand, in getting the sort of infor- mation I was after it was necessary to resort to measures that some might consider extreme. I drank some wine—20 or 21 glaeses.” Dr. Russell could not understand how it was possible for a man to be- come intoxicated and dance with |stage girls after drinking only 21 glasses of Coney Ieland wine.
