"The Wizard Swindled", Wilkes-Barre Leader, January 19th, 1889
Editor's Notes
TAE has been swindled of $250,000 by a trusted employee, Tomlinson. Tomlinson was placed in charge of selling thep honograph patent since TAE didn't have time to tend to business matters. The article then describes the transaction regarding sale of the phonograph, the investigation that followed TAE's discovery that Tomlinson had allegedly taken money, and Tomlinson's dismissal.
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
