Letters Received to Mr. Lee [C.B. Lee], November 15, 1928

Edwin F Smith Raymond Dawson Edwards & mith NOV 161928 at Law 2035 No.1 Exchange Place Telephone 2036 Monlgomery 2037 Jersey City.,I.J. November 15, 1928. United States Radium Corp. 535 Pearl St., New York, N.Y. Attention Mr. Lee. My dear Mr. Lee: I see by last night's papers that Dr. von Sochocky died at his home, 207 Amherst St., East Orange, N. J. Or.Martland has given the cause of his death as "a mild anemia, approaching the aplastic type. " Dr. Martland asserts that "deposits of radio- active matter in the bones of the victim had stilled the action of the blood supply agencies of the body". The article in the Sun of last night states "swen Kjaer, an investigator of the Bureau of Hazards of the United States Department of Labor, arrived in Orange this morning from Washington to investigate the cases of the five poisoned girls and the death of Dr. Lehman. I suggest that you have Dr. Flynn get in communica- tion with Mr. Kjaer and ascertain from him just why he is here, and collaborate with Mr. Kjaer in his investigation and obtain a copy of his report. Dr. Flynn might also interview Dr. Martland and obtain a statement from him, ascertaining if the doctor had x-rays taken of the body of Dr. von Sochocky, and where they are, and he might obtain a look at them. Dr. Flynn should also obtain the record of Dr. Martland, and the hospital record as to the several tests made of the blood of Dr. von Sochocky and the blood count. My idea is that Dr. Flynn could do this better than anybody else, and he will probably be associated with us in the defense of the present case. Yours very truly EFS/LC Edemi fi Laud
