Letters Sent to Dr. S.C. Lind, December 13, 1927

December 13th,1927. Dr. S. 0. Lind, Director, University of Minnesota, School of Chemistry, Minneapolie, Vinn. Dear Dr. Lind: Our ettorneys advise that at a preliminary hearing before the Vice Chancellor in Newark yesterday, relative to the evidence admissible at our hearing on Jamary 13th, it was the Vica Chaneellor's opinion that it will not be necessary to have any out of torm witnesses present on that date. It seems that there is 8. point at law to be settled in thoge casos the evidence will be taken, and the Vice thancollor's opinion is that January 12th, will be devoted to this phase of the cases. The Vice Chancellor has set aside only one day in January, and in the event that the cases are continued in the Court of Equity it probably will be a matter of months before the expert testimony will be required. In view of these circumstances I would suggest that you carry out the plans for your trip to Washington, disregard- ing any possibility of coming to New York at the present time. As you realize the courts act at their pleasure in these matters, and it is a little bit difficult to tell at this time when evidence such as you ar e able to sive will be required, but just as soon as we have anything definite we will communicate with you. In the meantime should you be in the City I trust that you will give us a call. With kind personal regards, I am Cordially yours, Vice President. HHBarker :RH
