Gentlenen:
Herewith copy of letter to Mr. Weeks in
the above which is self explenatory. This gase 10 No. 2179 on
the Suprose Court trial calendar in the Suprone dourt, Essex
County Circuit. The court at the present time is dom to
approximately 1000 and there are four judges holding
trials, so that if we divide the remaining epproxinately twelve
hundred esses by four, we find that our case is three hundred
cases from the top of the list. Judging from past performances
and merely guessing at that, the probability is that this
case will be reached shortly before the Summer vacation period
asta in on July lst.
If this case 1a to be contested, there is
considerable work to be done end we should have a conference
very shortly to determine our procedure. Mr. Weeica in a con
ference in January, 1938, stated he would settle this case
for $8000. Dr. Flinn has made tuo radioactive tests and on
both occasions has found the plaintiff radioactive. Dr. Flinn
tested her on March 7, 1929 and et that time found approximately
4.5 micrograms of radium, old standard and 2.50 micrograms,
present standard. lis exanination on February 25, 1932 reveals
33.8 mierograns of radium, old standard and 18.6 mierograne,
prezent stamard. He therefore concludes that the plaintiff
was "loaded* with radium and that this radium was probably on
her clothes, or at lesst it was not internal radium.
