HORACE GREELEY KNAPP.
He Is Fraud in Every Sense, and He
Left Nyack in Debt to Every body.

Sometime ago, it will be remem-
bered, the TINES published an article
which showed up Horace Greeley
Knapp in what we considered his true
light. A few days thereafter a letter
was received from the Rev. l.. Delos
Mansfield, Rector of St. Mary's Hall,
Benicla, CAL, the leading Episcopal
Young Ladies' Seminary on the Pa
cific Coast, which spoke SO favorably
and positively of Mr.. Knapp, that we
feared some mistake had been made.
We Immediately began inquiry, and
have already secured two affidavits
substantlatlng some Of the charges
published 10y the TIMES Which will
probably be published soon, and are
promised dozen more, if necessary.
Following is reply to letter sent to
Nyack- on-the Hudson, Mr.. knapp's
former home:
OFFICE OF THE NYAck CHRONICLE,
NYAck, n. ", Feb l, 1884. (
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-
In reply to your inquiry as to standing
of Horace Greeley Knapp, | have
simply to say that his reputation in
this comm unity is anything but envi-
able. He went away from here in
debt to everybody. He is FRAUD
IN EVERY SENSE. His misrcp.
reservations to me in regard to the
paper were of the basest character.
| certainly would not believe him on
oath IN regard to anything; and the
people OF Nyack were we'll satisfied
that he left here. 1t would require
considerable nerve to write him no.
God knows he does not deserve to re
backed up by anyone. l have been y
years trying to shuttle off the dead
weight he left o" the paper.
Yours fraternally,
LAFAYETTE MARKLE,
Editor and Proprietor.
