strongest which we will have, and one which we are going to need expert
testimony on from men such as yourself, Dr. McCoy, Dr. Lind and
Dr. Schlundt.
There are two main points at issue, which our attorneys feol
that your testimony will be very valuable on. First - Considering the
status of the Art in 1921, or let us say up to 1924, would you have
been suspicious that girls applying luminous material to watch and cloek
dials were following an employment injurious to their health either
at that time or in the future? The important point at issue here is
not whether we were negligent in view of our present knowledge, but
whether we were negligent in view of the knowledge at the time which
these girls were employed. The second point in question, and probably of
minor importance is the comparative merits or possible deleterious effects
of mesothorium vs. radium, when used in luminous material.
We should be pleased to have your opinion on these two points,
and whether it would be possible for you to come to New York in case we
deem it advisable.
The date of trial has been set for January 12th,1928 in the
Court of Chancery at Newark, N.J.
We of course expect to pay your expenses on a mission such as
this, and any reasonable fee which you might deem equitable.
With lind regards, I am
Very truly yours,
