Ch. 4 - appears on Evelyn Hibbard's list of the League of Frightened Men. Member of the League - Archie reports, "He almost needed a shave, his pants were baggy, and his hair wasn't combed." Ayers drinks heavily at the initial meeting between the League and Wolfe and makes a nuisance of himself. Ch. 5 - Ayers is the first to arrive for the gathering of the League in Wolfe's office; requests numerous pours of scotch, gets drunk, and is a bit outspoken. Ayers takes umbrage when Wolfe refers to him as a journalist, correcting that he's a newshound who had interviewed Einstein. Ch. 21 - attends the meeting in the office at which Wolfe corners the murderer; he is sober and helps Archie distribute drinks.
