BOEHLER\nJAMES B. EMORY\nPATRICK F. MC DEVITT\nFRANK P. CLANCY\nJOHN F. LEONARD\nJune 28, 1930.\nHoare V. Uni ted States Radium Corp.\nChas. Stockdell Gray, Esqo,\nGlobe Indemni ty Co.\n20 Washington Place,\nNewark, N. J.\nDear Mr. Gray:\nI have examined Dr. Brothers' report as\nwell as the history of the case that he obtained stenographic-\nally. It appears from the history that the plaintiff has been\nsuffering for more than three and a half years from her teeth\nalong and that she has had trouble ever since she left our\nplant, of which she complained. If that is so, the statute\nof limitations clearly has run against this claim. The only\nanswer that could be made to our contention that the statute\nhas run, is that she did not know that she had radium poison-\ning, but whether she knew it or not would seem to be immaterial\nunder most of the decisions, provided she had actual injury\nresulting from her employment in our plant.\nShe worked for us for about six months in\n1916-1917, so that over thirteen years have passed since her\nlast employment. It is therefore important to have a special\ninvestigation made to obtain from Mrs. Hoare the various ail-\nments that she has had and the troubles that she suffered from\nbeginning in 1916 and 1917 to date. Also it is very important\nto ascertain the doctors and dentists who have treated her\nduring the period following her employment with our company.\nIf your company can make this investigation by its own in-\nvestigators, perhaps we should do it that way. On the other\nhand, if you feel you cannot get the information through your\nown investigation, we suggest the employment of Miss Lewis to\nmake an investigation for us.\nThis case is covered merely by your company\nand no other insurance company is involved. I do not under-\nstand with respect to such a case that the disbursements are\nto be made out of the general disbursement fund, which in any\nevent has been exhausted so far as the present funds are\nconcerned. It may be well at this time for you to call a\nconference of all of the companies interested, for the purpose\nof settling the various questions W hich have arisen with respect"
