R3: FRBYBR 37 AL VS. U.S. RADIUM CORP. #3486-LDF
Edward A. Markley, Esq.,
Collins & Corbin,
1 Exchange Place,
Jersey City, N. J.
Dear Mr. Markley,
Please accept my thanks for your letter of the
2nd inst. enclosing copy of report of Dr. Baker.
It seems to me significant that Mrs. Hussman
does not show the so-called characteristic bone changes
which are said to be present in the other cases.
If
we could show that Mrs. Hussman had a traumatic fracture
of the left feurur (and you will recall there is some evi-
dence of such a fracture), it might be helpful to us in
controverting her claim that she is suffering from radium
poisoning.
This is of particular importance in her
case because even though we win the Chancery action, we
will probably be obliged to try her case at law because
she claims that her illness did not develop until within
two years of the date when she brought her suit.
She
will undoubtedly claim on this ground that her action is
not barred by the Statute.
Do you suppose that the
investigator who has been working on these cases could
