Mathias Bergen 4 -2035 George Echelman Edwards & Smith January 7, 1935. U.S. Radium Corporation, 535 Pearl Street, Att: Mr. Barker. New York City, N. Y. Re: LaPorte V. U.S. Radium Corporation My dear Mr. Barker: Shortly before last Monday Mr. Emmerglick gave us notice of an appearance before Judge Forman to ascertain what part of the testimony the court deemed him to have written out. The court felt that all of the testimony was important and that unless he had all of it, he thought he might overlook some points that might be important to both parties in arriving at his decision. The question then came up as to the expense. Mr. Unger (who was present) endeavored to have the court require the Radium Company to pay the cost of writing up the court's copy and to have the court allow him to use the court's copy without expense to him. Of course, this was objected to The court finally said he could see no reason why he should depart from the usual rule, to wit, that each party should bear one-half of the stenographic cost. The stenographer estimated the cost of writing the testimony at $3,000.00, and said that the Radium Company would be given credit for the testimony already written up and paid for by it. Very truly yours, Edwan L. Smith EFS:JB. Fala
