THOUGHT HIM A "FAKE."
Tho Richmond OnlciaIs' Opinion Of the
Alleged Railway Murderer.

Among the letters in the morning batch
Of the Chief Of Policies mail yesterday
was the following;
ORANGE, N. j., December 2, 1890.
CAief Of Poboe, Richmond, Va:
Dear Sir.-Wnl you kindly inform me
what has become Of Frederick j. Grupy :?
He was adjudged insane after trying TO
have himself committed as party 70 the
Railway (k j. mystery, concerning the
murder of "a Young woman. / think TINS
was about three years ago or thereabouts.
He is q brother of mine, and ] would Ike
20 find something out about him. have
been away nearly all this time, and am 10
Gated here only for a short time. ! Will
consider 1t a great favor ii you will kindly
inform me concerning him. have done
brothers part by him for years, mp to the
date Of his arrest, and had furnished HIM
the money 20 90 20 North Carolina when
he pulled up at your city. | would like 90
know concerning him. and may be could
DO something for him.
With much respect am, very truly, your
obodient servant. THOMAS j GRUPY,
No. 100 fremont avenue, Oran9e, n. j.
Grupy was arrested IN Richmond little
over three years agOOn his own statement
that hc was the perpctratOr of the Halfway
murder, which az that time was exciting
great interest throughout the entire coun-
Try. The arrest naturally caused great eX-
citcmcnt.
The Richmond officers, especially MIR; ID.
G. Richardson, who was then the police
justice, cngui~ed closely into the case, and
finally came 30 the conclusion that Grupy
w..s fake who wished to get North at tie
expense Of the state of New Jersey.
Since that time no one in this city has
seen OF heard anything of the man. The
D,spdtcl's readers will recall the fact that
Mr. Richardson and a representative ot
this paper had two or three interviews
with the man while prisoner, the result
of which was published.
