Vixamar was possibly led ‘to ; Cogswell and Harrison by one. or more persons with the overall] ‘plan of relieving him of invasion operational funds, although | this is only conjecture, The firm of Cogswell. and Harrison _ 4 in London is old and supposedly reputable, but a relatively oF small. operation which is more in the nature of a sporting . goods shop than a dealer in armaments. However, it has been . rumored that Samuel Cummings of Interarmco, Monte Carlo, has purchased a controlling position in Cogswell and Harrison, - 4 although this has not been verified by source. Source ot theorizes that assuming that Sam Cummings did truly control, it is not very likely that he woukd:fnvotve fhimsé?f in an | invasion operation of this nature nor in a “flim flam" oo confidence game, as his wealth is more than realistically ubstantial, and he is constantly under investigation and surveillance by many Governments, probably including that c oy the United States of.
