EDWARDS & SMITH
Attorneys & Counsellors at Law.
No. 1 Exchange Place,
Jersey City, N. J.
March 5, 1930.
Messrs. Collins & Corbin,
1 Exchange Place,
Jersey City, N. J.
Att: Mr. Markley
Re: Metz and Tuck et al vs. U. S. Radium Corp.
Gentlemen:
I have yours enclosing letter from Mr. Barker
together with two bills for $500. each from Dr. Stevens and
Dr. Pohle. I note the bill from Dr. Pohle is a straight charge
of $500. plus $41. for disbursements and travelling expenses,
while the bill for Dr. Pohle is itemized. He states that he
spent 1½ days searching records at Ann Arbor, Michigan and 2/2
days searching the literature and 1 day taking deposition in
Chicago. His expenses amount to $97.64,
It was my impression that we were employing these
two gentlemen as experts in the use of radium. While of course,
I do not believe that an expert must instantly be familiar with
all the literature on the subject, yet he certainly should have
a working knowledge of the same.
It was my opinion that $250.00 fees were sufficient
for these men and it was my understanding that you thought SO
also. I think we should return the bills to them with the request
that they be reduced.
Very truly yours,
EFS/MW
EDWARDS & SMITH
