Radium Corp.,\n535 Pearl Street,\nNew York City.\nFEB 26 1932\nGentlemen:\nI appeared this morning before the Supreme\nCourt (Judge Dungan) in the above case on motion of the plaintiff\nto advance the case for trial. Judge Dungan did not decide the\nmotion but held it pending production of the plaintiff's family\nphysician for the purpose of testifying as to her personal\nphysical condition. If he finds that her con ition is critical\nthen he may advance the trial of the case.\nThe plaintiff and her sister had been living\nin the court house in Newark for the past three weeks. Her\nsister is a ward politician in Newark and is using all of her\nsupposed influence to expedite the trial of this case. These\nwomen have made life miserable for the plaintiff's attorneys and\nfor the court attendants as well as causing considerable\nannoyance to the judges.\nMrs. Hoare insists, as does her sister, that\nthe case be tried 1 mediately. Mrs. Hoare looks as though\nshe might be ill. She is very thin and anemic looking and from\ntalking to her I think that she has, as far as I could tell,\nthe usual classical symptoms. She has a mouth condition and\na joint condition; at least, she claims she has. Her doctor is\nDr. De Vincentis of Newark and he will appear in court within the\nnext day or two for the purpose of giving his testimony as to\nher present physical condition.\nI thought this case could be settled for\n3000. but the plaintiff's attorneys have been unable to persuade\nher to take that sum. I think it could be settled for $5000. and\npossibly for 4000. Please advise whether you care to pay any-\nthing in addition to the 3000. already authorized.\nYours very truly,\nEAM: AG"
