DOT 6 1927 G the 7. October 4, 1927. SAVERIAL CORY Edward A. Markley, Esq., Collins de Corbin, 243 Washington St., Jersey City, N. J. Dear Mr. Markley, Mr. Berry called to see me today on the protext of discussing the arrangements to be made for taking depositions in Boston. I think that his real purpose in eoming to see me was to sound me out as to whether the Radium Corporation contemplates settling the cases. I suggested that he name a figure which he would accept, telling him, however, that, in my judgment, the Radium Corporation could not consider paying more than the nuisance value of the cases and that I thought it doubtful if it would be willing to pay even that because if a settlement of these cases were made other cases would undoubtedly be brought and they would undoubtedly be in a position where they would have to defend some cases or else settle a great many. I am sending a copy of this letter both to Mr. Lee and Mr. Smith. So far as I know there is no thought of settling any of these cases but if your company believes that an ef- fort should be made along this line I am willing to discuss it with you.
