As he is now treating a number of other cases he said he must be paid ei ther by
us or someone and if we were not interested in hie proposition he proposed to
sue a number of his patients for large amounts and they in turn would sue us,
in which latter event there would be no settlements out of court and he would
guarantee that we would lose such sui ts as a result of his testimony against us.
as
On being asked whether he was 8. physici an and not a dentist he replied
not
"no as far 8.8 S license is concerned" but that he had studied medicine in
11
college during hie dental course and had had practical hoepital work for the
past 23 years and that he knew more about medicine than many deetors. He
stated that he had court experience as a witness and that he could testify
in any way that he wanted and not be successfully controverted. As he was
recognized as an expert in this work he thought that a majority of the girls
who had been in the employ of the Radium Company would come to zim. He
stated that if we played ball with him he would not tell thege patients that
he was being paid by u.s. He stated that if we wanted his services it was
essential that we pay him $10,000 and that he was a very valuable man for
the Company to have with then. He explained how a dentist must protect his
reputation and how he had by threats prevented certain clients from bringing
suit. Mr. Cross then said #unleas you are pai $ 10,000 you are in a position
to make a lot of trouble for us but if we do pay you the $10,000 you will help
us". Dr. Knef replied "yes he could help us and his proposition was not
blackmail ei ther."
Mr. Roeder said to Dr. Knef "your proposition is absolutely
Company
immoral and the/sill have nothing whatever to do with it". Whereupon Dr. Knef
gathered up his pictures and papers and left the room, saying we would meet again.
