with Russell as his daughter was the
one named in the complaint, the
police took the young woman in hand
and she was put through a hard
grilling. Photographs of herself, TAX
en- three years ago, and as a baby
finally broke her and she admitted
that she was Amy Jones, and not the
daughter of Russell.
Russell too admitted finally that she
was not his daughter, but that he had
adopted her. He added that he had
her fathers consent for the adoption.
This however was denied by the
father.
A letter received from Chief of
Police P. w. Pemberton, of Bowling
Green, Kentucky, from where Rev.
Russell purported to hail, declared in
no uncertain terms that Russell
should be arrested as he is fake"
The chief further said that he had
looked up the Covington Orphans
Home, which Russell claimed to re-
present as solicitor and found that
there was no such home in existence.
Mrs. Covington has had in mind, how
ever establishing such a home, but
she denied that Russell had any con-
-nection with it whatsoever. He has
never turned over any money for the
home, Mrs. Covington told Chief
Pemberton.
From Avoca comes the following
letter, received by an Avoca woman,
from D. J. jenkins, President Of the
Jenkins Orphanage in South Caro-
lima:
Dear Madam"
"Your letter of April oath received
and hasten to reply. This man
Rev. Paul Russell, is a fraud, pure
and simple and ought to be suppress
ed at once"
''He is not working for the Jenkins
Orphanage and is an intruder upon
the public. He has stolen poor
girl from her mother in Asbury Park.
The following being her name and
address. He posed as some great
preacher, took this girl to send to
Tuskegee and did not do it. His
wife left him in Janica, because of
this girl and other misdeamors. Her
name and address is, Mrs. Alice
Gomez Russell, 116 South Janiica, N.
Y. A long article was published in
the Charlestown Messenger, broad
casting this man but he has been
hard to catch.
Upon receipt of this letter, if you
have him located, wire the mother,
Mrs. Samuel Jones, 1884 Spring
wood avenue, Asbury Park, or in care
of A. B. Polite, 50 Avenue A Asbury
Park. You will also write me so
that / may render whatever assist
ance the mother needs.
Signed, D. ]. Jenkins, Pres"
Jenkins Orphanage."
Russell, in his travels in one city
run up taxi bill of $74.s5, which
was left unpaid.
All the above is only part Of the
various scrapes that Russell has got
ten himself into. This evidence was
taken from letters which were re-
ceived by officer Thomas Holland
who has been working night and day
on the case and from various papers.
one of which bears Russell's picture
at the time of his arrest in New
York. Rumor has had it that the
Rev Russell was about to enter suit
against the Beverly Banner for $1,000
charging libel. We have printed no.
thing against Russell but facts COM
ing to US from reliable source. If
Russell wishes to start suit. now is
his chance.
