Edwin F Smith Reymond Dawson Edwards & mith Attorneys "Counsellors at Law JAN 6 1930 2035 No.1 Exchange Place Telephone 20361 Monlyomery 2037 Jersey City.N. January 4, 1930. United States Radium Corp. , 535 Pearl Street, New York City. Att: Mr. Barker. Re: Canfield vs. U.S. Radium Corp. My dear Mr. Barker: Mr. Markley and I appeared before Judge Mountain today for the purposes of (a) attempting to have the defense of Statute of Limitations argued in advance of the trial of the case, and (b) setting a date for the trial of the case. Mr. Berry appeared for Canfield. We endeavored to have the Court fix the trial of the case commencing March 19th. The court would not do this, but finally set March 10th as the date of the commencement of the trial. This was done because in the letter from Professor Lind to you he states he would be available March 13th-15th. This would give us an appor- tunity of getting his testimony and the testimony of Prof. Schlundt who, I understand, could be here with Prof. Lind. Will you, therefore, please telegraph to Professors Lind, Schlundt and Moore, stating that the Court has set the case down for trial commencing March 10th, and that if they can be here on March 13th to 15th, we think we can get all of their evidence in, in that period? I think it would be also wise to have Professors Lind, Schlundt and Moore here on January 17th, so that we may have a conference. This conference should also include you and Mr. Lee. Will you please arrange this and let me hear from you? Very truly yours, EFS:RH Edevin Swith
