Richard Tweed (1848-1884)

In 1876, it was reported: "Richard Tweed, son of Wm. M. Tweed, and more familiarly known as "Dick," has been living in Paris under the name of Richard Sands. His apartment, shared by Elbert A. Woodward (late Clerk of the New York Board of Supervisors), is in the Faubourg St. Honore, near the Boulevard Haussmann. He is supposed to be acting in the interests of his father as the sentinel over his dangerous friend, whose return Tweed always feared, and who he frequently wished was dead. Despite his vigilance, Mr. Woodward, who goes under the name of Warren, makes an occasional flying trip to America. During the past summer, he honored Baltimore with a brief visit. His embarrassed affairs are in the hands of a prominent Broadway merchant, who, in the hope of effecting a private settlement, made a trip to Paris in June or July."
