The arrival in Toledo, Ohio, of a private railroad car for federal judge Peter Stenger Grosscup sparked speculation whether the car belonged to Grosscup, was paid for by him, or was provided at the courtesy of the railroad. Grosscup declined to comment, but a railroad official revealed that the car was complimentary, to transport Grosscup’s invalid mother from Toledo to Fargo.
