J.\nReturned to the above address at 4:30 P. M. Met\nMrs. Thomson whom I found to be a young woman of pleasing per-\nsonality, receiving mo in a cordial manner. Said her sister Mrs.\nFarley, had advised her of my visit.\nRegarding Mrs. lidna Hussman, said while she is\nacquainted with her, knows very little of her activities, etc.\nNever met her until they moved into the apartment at 448 Rose-\nville Avenue. Were never intimate friends, would exchange greet-\nings, now and then conversing on different topics when meeting\nin the back yard and about the house. Said they were very common,\nnarrow-minded people and very crude in their mannerisms. Consid-\nered them far beneath her standing. It would be a great embar-\nrassment to her to have to be involved in any court proceedings.\nFor this reason alone she would not commit herself in any way.\nFinally said \"Well, it is true, Mrs. Hussman did fall down the\nback stairs at her home. Accident happened at the time her sis-\nter, Elsie gave birth to a child out of wedlook\". Date she could\nnot remember, but thinks it was in the early part of July, 1925.\nExact date can be verified by going to the Women's Maternity\nHospital, Central Avenue, where Elsie Bolz gave birth to her\nchild. Said, She, Mrs. Thomson, a1d not witness the accident,\nall she knows of the occurence is what Mrs. Hussman herself relat-\ned to her, that through excitement she slipped as she started\ndown the steps and sustained an injury to her hip.\nSheet #2\nUNITED STATES RADIUM CORPORATION - THE\nLUMINITE CORPORATION v. EDNA HUSSMAN\nApril 25, 1928.\nMrs. Dorthes Thomson:\nIts. Thomson said she would gladly assist me in any way\nshe could but positively refused to be implicated in any court\nproceedings, and refused to give me a signed statement as to\nwhat she had related. Laughed and said, \"If you knew what I\nknow about the Hussman's and the Bolz's, you would hesitate also\nin giving any information. I tell you they are the most terrible\npeople I ever had dealings with. It will pay you to investigate\nthem thoroughly and learn for yourself the reputation of these\npeople\".\nAdvised me to locate and interview Dr. Lee's Family\nsaying they may be able to enlighten me more than she would.\nAlso referred me to a Mr. William Rhinehardt, landlord\nof building at 448 Roseville Avenue, saying that he would be\nable to give me additional information regarding Mrs. Hussman's\nfall down the back steps."
