Letters Sent to Dr. R.B. Moore, April 6, 1928

April 6th, 1928. Dr. R. B. Moore, Dean of Science, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. Dear Dr. Moore: On Wednesday of this week we had a conference with our legal staff, and they have outlined a more or less definite prodedure for us to follow in preparing the defense for our suits. As I told you, the Judge has set aside April 25th to 27th inclusive, to continue the hearing of these cases, and unless some change is made beyond which we can foresee at this time we expect to present our case on the above mentioned dates. Our lawyers feel that it is essential that we endeavor to secure your services as an expert witness, and we hope that your program is such that you can arrange to come to New York in time for the hearing of our case. A preliminary conference at 2 P.M. on April 24th, seems essential in order that the lawyers may ascertain more definitely the value which you can be as an expert witness, as well as posting you more or less regarding the type of information which they desire. I understand that Dr. Lind expects to be in Now York about this time, and we are hoping to have him at this conference as well as Dr. Schlundt. We will appreciate your advising us at an early date as to your availability to be on hand. I wish to ackmowledge the courtesy which you and Mrs. Moore extended to me during my recent visit to Lafayette, as I can assure you that I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon with you people. With kind regards, I am Cordially yours, Vice President. HHBarker :RH
