As for the interest that Henry Ford showed in the ruse, the Surratt Courier carried articles years ago about his chief investigator's work on this. For the life of me, I can't remember the man's name right now. Blaine Houmes, if you are not on Easter Bunny rounds this weekend, please help identify Ford's rep.

Frederick L. Black. He was editor of the Dearborn Independent, published by Henry Ford. Black's archive is at Oakland University in Rochester Hills, MI. Between March and June 1925, Mr. Black wrote a withering set of articles discrediting Finis Bates and the Enid Mummy.
