Research issue

 An anti-Russell article claims this of Russell:

A man who will unblushingly declare that he has been impersonated by a demon seeking illicit intercourse with a woman must either be crazy himself, or think other people are such fools he can make them believe anything. It is positively ridiculous.

What is the source for this? Anyone?

This appears to be based on a ZWT article in January 1, 1911 ZWT, called NEW YEAR'S OUTLOOK, in a section on the fallen angels. They had received a report from Australia about a claim a disturbed woman had made, and CTR wrote that it may have been a demon. The cutting appears to be a newspaper comment on his explanation - by the sound of it, probably a paper like the Brooklyn Eagle.
