Aisner did, however, return the Times-Republican books after reading his report to a well-attended meeting of the Planning Committee and new Times-Republican counsel Robert C. Hagopian. He did not retract the $500 bill he had presented for services...

The former gentleman was expressing a reluctance to turn over the organization's financial report without his getting a remuneration in the amount of $503.09. $3.09 was for stamps and the remainder for services rendered...
Wall Street Lawyer John Cye Cheasty (rhymes with hasty), 49, got a long-distance phone call from an acquaintance, Attorney Hyman Fischbach, onetime counsel for a House subcommittee investigating crime in the District of Columbia.
