March 27,1930.
Dr. S. C. Lind,
University of Minnesota,
Minneapolis,
Minnd.
Dear Dr. Lind:
It is possible that you have noted by the papers that the
trial of Thck and Metz vs U.S. R. Corp., scheduled for March 25th, in the
Federal Court, has been postponed on the grounds of a mistrial - in fact
we were only in Court one half day when the mistrial was granted. The
occasion being that during the lunch hour on March 25th, the principal
witness in behalf of the plaintiffs engaged himself in a conversation
with one of the jurors. Such conversation being overheard by the Court
as well as ourselves - the nature of such conversation was such that it
was believed that the witness was endeavoring to prejudice the juror, and
that under no conditions should the trial progress under such circumstances.
We regret this very much for we felt that we were well prepared
to proceed with the trial, not only that but we had made all arrangements
for our witnesses as well as experts. Tolcall this matter off at the
eleventh hour is very annoying to the experts we appreciate, and it is
equally annoying to ourselves, but as you may realize we have to be governed
by the conditions as they arise.
The case is now scheduled to come up in the Federal Court during
the week of April 22nd, and we would like to inquire whether or not you would
be available during that week, should we need your services?
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Vice President.
