The following is the accounting of expenditure during my investigation of the Forbes Matter Fund. of the Forbes' met-a-theft of nearly $5,000. Expenses continued. Item four, I think it is, $10, deposited on a rented car.

First stop, Central Division headquarters, where I was informed that Sheldon Thomas Forbes had been formerly arraigned and was being held in the city jail. Second stop, an address on 56th Street, second floor next to a dental laboratory, and on the door it said Edward Gumby, attorney at law.

And below it said, walk in. So I did. Mr. Gumby? Edward Gumby was standing in front of a gas heater in the inner office, which consisted of nothing more than a telephone, a desk, and a dozen law books.

He was a medium-sized man, about 40 or so, little tired, little seedy. Buddy had a nice grin. Dollar? Yeah, that's right, Mr. Gumby. You don't know me. I'm with Continental Adjustment Bureau, representing Delaware Eastern liability in this Forbes matter.
