Smith,\n#1 Exchange P1.,\n%Edwards, Smith & Dawson,\nJersey City, N.J.\nRe: LaPorte vs. U.S. Radium Corp.\nGentlemen:\nPursuant to the conference held on Friday, December\n27th, 1935 in Judge Forman's chambers, at Trenton, N.J. relative\nto making payments to Mr. Unger and Mr. Emmerglick for expenditures\nincurred by Mr. Unger and payment for legal services of Mr. Em-\nmerglick in behalf of the plaintiff.\nThis subject has been discussed with our Board, and while\nin principle they do not deem the procedure indicated, nevertheless\nwe are herewith authorizing you to advise the Court that we will con-\ntribute our share, namely $2,000. on the condition that the Insurance\nCompanies contribute their shares, as specified by Judge Forman. We\nwish to further point out that we are making this payment only at the\nrequest of Judge Forman, and that same mist be made in such a manner\nthat we should not be accused of negotiating with the plaintiff's\nattorney to the end that he would not appeal the present case and\ndiscontinue other cases where he is the counsel of record or associated\ncounsel. As pointed out by the Court, the payment, however, is being\nmade with the distinct understanding that there will not be an appeal\nmade in the above referred to case and that Mr. Emmerglick will recom-\nmend the discontinuance of other suits in which he is the counsel of\nrecord, or in such cases where he is associated counsel and his advice\nwill be followed.\nWe shall await your advice as to the willingness of your\nrespective Insurane Companies to centribute their indicated shares\nand method of payment. The question is raised as to whether or not it\nis advisable to have this payment stipulated in the order for dis-\nmissing the bill, and here again we will be governed by your advice.\nVery truly yours,\nHHBarker: DK\nVice-President"
