PURDUE University LAFAYETTE, INDIANA SCHOOL OF SCIENCE OFFICE OF THE DEAN June 7th, 1928. RECEIVED JUN 9 1928 Mr. H. H. Barker, United States Radium Corporation, 535 Pearl Street, RADING SNOWNITY New York, N. Y. DRP. My dear Barker: I have been following the trial of your case in the newspapers during the last few weeks and I admit frankly that "trial by journalism" instead of trial by jury is far from being satisfactory. I am not quite sure yet why the case had to go to trial before a jury when the defense had not put in its side on the question that was involved at the last trial. In other words, did the judge decide the case on the prosecution evidence without that of the defense? I sail from Montreal on June 28th and I am not sure that I will be in New York. Do you consider it still worth while for me to look up the things in Europe that we talked about when I was in the East last. I think that you are quite right concerning the fact that you have not heard the last of this whole situation. To what an extent your compromising will help a future fight is a matter for the lawyers to decide. With kind personal regards, Cordially yours, RBM) JR R. B. Moore Dean of Science
