Character cases:
Ch. 2 - asks Wolfe to investigate $30,000 (cash) stolen from the office of a senior vice president (Ramsey Muir) at the Seaboard Products Corporation. Mr. Muir is convinced Clara Fox took the money, and Perry wants Wolfe to find the truth (and hopes he will exonerate Ms. Fox). After leaving the office, calls back and insists Archie come to the office immediately to deal with the developing situation there.
Ch. 5 - is upset with Wolfe when informed that Clara Fox is his client and that he cannot, therefore, represent him or his corporation.
Ch. 15 - comes to the office to get information regarding how Wolfe knew Clara Fox was innocent of the larceny charges (ostensibly to gather evidence against Muir); Wolfe refuses him and refuses to shake his hand when he leaves.
Ch. 18 - comes to the brownstone with Mr. Muir; denies Clivers' and Wolfe's assertion that he is Rubber Coleman and responsible for Scovil's and Walsh's murder. He tells Wolfe, "I'm not talking. Not just now. You go on."
