Actually, the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan, which is conducting a grand jury investigation of the Irving hoax, had issued a subpoena for Hughes to testify. On Valentine's Day, U.S. postal inspectors appeared in Nassau with the summons; federal officials intended to impanel a grand jury in either Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands to hear Hughes -at night, if he so desired.

By Irving's account, the meetings continued over the next ten months, in automobiles and motel and hotel rooms in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Nassau; Beverly Hills and Palm Springs, Calif.; Key Biscayne and Pompano Beach, Fla.; and somewhere near Miami...
