Below is an interview excerpt taken from the newspapers, just days after Russell Brice began serving more than twenty years in Sing Sing Prison. "Brice is a cheerful chap, with smiling gray eyes and blonde hair. He is twenty-six years old and is not a bit ashamed of the many crimes of which he has been accused or of the time he has spent in prison."Behind the downfall of every man there is a woman," he remarks with the wisdom of the ages. "A woman has placed me where I am. It was her talk which gave me the reputation of being 'a second Hamby'". Gordon Hamby was a notorious bank robber and killer who was executed in Sing Sing Prison's electric chair in January of 1920. Thomas Riddell lives in Liverpool, New York.
