Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, April 7, 1930

April 7th,1930. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: Mr. Markley and Mr. Smith appeared before Judge Runyon in the Federal Court this morning requesting that we be allowed a Struck Jury for the Meta and Tuck trial, also complete physical exemination including X-ray platos of the plaintiffs. The Court saw fit to grant our request in this matter, and inasmuch as it requires not less than thirty days to impanel a Struck Jury it is obvious that we could not possibly go to trial on April 22nd. The matter of making proper physical examination and X-ray study also would involve considerable time, and it is highly probable that these cases will not be set down on the calendar for trial before late summer or early fall. In the meantime we shall keep you advised as to what is happening, and at such time as a trial date has again been set we shall communicate with you to ascertain whether or not you will be available at that time. You probably are quite familiar with all the delays involved in legal actions such as these and realize that at the present moment we have no idea as to the exact time when these cases will come up. I hope you will enjoy your few days rest at Easter Time. Sincerely yours, Vice President.
