J.\nJAN 25 1929\nHOWARD F. MC INTYRE\nFRANK A. BOEHLER\nJAMES B. EMORY\nPATRICK F. MC DEVITT\nFRANK P. CLANCY\nJanuary 24, 1929.\nCanfield, et al, vs. U. S. Radium Corporation\nH. H. Barker, Esq.\nVice President, U. S. Radium Corporation,\n535 Pearl Street,\nNew York City.\nDear Mr. Barker:\nWe today had a talk with Dr. Humphreys in regard\nto having an examination by our x-ray experts of his radiographs.\nHe is perfectly willing that they should have an examination of\nthem, although he would like to be present when they are at the\nOrthopedic Hospital at Orange for that purpose. The hospital is\nlocated on Lincoln Avenue, Orange, and the telephone number is\nOrange 4032. We told him that Dr. Steiner and another x-ray expert\nwould like to call. He said they could call any day but suggested\nthat they telephone him first so as to make certain that he will\nbe there.\nIt is therefore a simple matter to make the arrange-\nment with Dr. Humphrey and we suggest that a day or two before the\ncall he should be telephoned to for the purpose of making the ap-\npointment definite.\nThe sooner this examination is had and the report\ngiven to us the better. Mr. Smith and I expect to confer with Dr.\nMartland on Jamuary 31 in the evening, and if it is possible to have\nthe report of our x-ray experts before that we would appreciate it,\nalthough it is not essential that we should have it in order to\ninterview Dr. Martland.\nReiterating our telephonic talk with you this morn-\ning, please be advised that Dr. Humphreys said that Miss Katherine\nSchaub is now a patient at the Orthopedic Hospital and that she is\nin very bad condition; so bad that he does not expect her to live\nvery long. Her trouble seems to be primarily in her joints. He says\nher mouth condition is not particularly bad.\nWe think it would be very wise to have Dr. Humphreys\npresent when Dr. Steiner and his associate examine the x-ray pictures\nfor this reason; that they can ask him to point out to them the line\nor other indicia of radium deposits or necrosis as evidenced on the\nx-ray pictures. You will remember that we scoffed at the idea that\nDr. Humphreys could show on an x-ray plate any radium necrosis by\nindicating a line or lines in the plate. Our doctors should ask Dr.\nHumphreys to point out specifically to them the evidence that he finds"
