20EX POTT SR AND BERRY 60 Park Place Newark, N. J. February 27, 1929. Edward A. Markley, Esq.. o/o Collins & Corbin, #1 Exchange Place, Jersey City. New Jersey. Dear Mr. Markley: Re: Canfield vs. U.

I do not think that the statute contem- plates necessiteting anyone's undergoing even a minor operation for the sake of litigation. On the matter of electroscopic tests, in view of what has previously transpired with reference to Dr. Plinn, I on say now that without n. specific order of the Court, explicit- ly naming hin as one to participate in the examination, I will not
