Editor's Notes
TAE has discharged Tomlinson because the "latter failed to realize as much as he should for TAE's phonograph." It is said TAE lost $250,000 through negligence or through Tomlinson. While Tomlinson may not be guilty of anything wirthin the reach of the law, he can hardly blame others for accusing him of sharp practice if he pockets $250,000 out of a $750,000 deal.
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; Richard N. Dyer replaces John C. Tomlinson as legal representative of Edison companies' and Edison's concerns
