This information, filed by the So ciety for the Suppression of Vice, of which John S. Sumner is head, set forth that the publishing concern sold to one of the society agents a copy of the autobiographical classic "Madeleine." printed in English and published under its auspices. Mr. Brainard issued the following statement: "The decision of the court is, of course, gratifying, but it is what we had expected. As for Mr. Sumner he acted within the limits of his own intelligence. The other phase of this incident, having to do with my .serv ice on the' grand jury which investi gated the city administration, is too well known to need comment.
