The purpose of this paper is to point out a flaw in H. B. Griffiths' covering space approach to residual properties of groups [3]. One is led to this paper from Lyndon and Schupp's book [4, pp. 114, 141] where it is cited for covering space methods and a proof that F-groups are residually finite. However the main result of [3] is false.
