Eccentric man ends life after leaving package for lawyer
Richard Drew, a longtime downtown figure, walked to the Elizabeth Street Central Railroad station and killed himself with a revolver after placing a package for his attorney Timothy Winslow in a station mail. Police found his body at the cart near the pallet. Neighbors say he had been unsettled, and a woman may have influenced his decline. Drew owned property at 881 Fulton Street and 246 Fulton Street, with other holdings in his estate, including a nue and a savings account.
