Editor's Notes
"TAE has avoided, as far as possible, litigation in regard to his patents." But there is now a big split between TAE and Gilliland and Tomlinson. He has charged the two with "treachery and breach of faith, and that they have made $250,000 out of him by unfair dealing in his stock and by selling to Lippincott" a contract of which Edison claims the control for that amount. The article then details the sale of stock and the rights to sell the phonograph.
Thomas Edison accuses late legal adviser John C. Tomlinson and electrician/inventor Ezra T. Gilliland of cheating him out of $250,000 in the sale of the phonograph; he sues for the sum
