When we did have a couple of hundred dollars in the bank Levy suggested we give the money to the Communist Party. This wasn't done, however, because of the other stockholders, who definitely were not members of the Communist Party. H. D. Tyler finally got so suspicious of Levy, his actions and our "comrades," that one day he set me down in the office and said: learn Gordon had been working on the same case since early in January.
