Editor's Notes
""Wizard" Edison's Big Suit", New York Press. TAE has met with phenominal success. His inventions can be seen all over the civilized world. However, the statement that scientists and philsophers are bad businessmen rings true for TAE. The article gives a brief account of Gilliland and Tomlinson's times under TAE. It states that the two had planned to take $250,000 from the phonograph sale and had hidden their designs from TAE.
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
