    "ocrText": "December 18,1930.\nMetz and Tuck V. U. S. Radium Corp.\nBurton E. Emory, Ewc. ,\nMgr. Aetna Life Ins. Co.,\n100 William St., N.Y.\nC.B.Lee,Eq.,\nPres. United States Radium Corp.\n535 Pearl St., N.Y.C.\nGeorge W. Pesinger, Esq.,\nNew Amsterdam Casualty Co.,\n60 John St., N.Y.C.\nChas. Stockdell Gray, Esq.,\nCounsel, Globe Indemnity Co.,\n20 Washington Pl., Newark, N.J.\nMessrs. Edwards & Smith,\n1 Exchange Pl.,\nJersey Sity, N.J.\nGentlemen:\nThis letter is written at the request of all concerned and without\nprejudice to the rights of anyone for the purpose of crystalizing the conclusions\nreached at the conference held at the office of Burton E. Emory, Esq., 100 William\nSt., New York City, on December 16,1930 at 2:00 P.M It is the understanding\nthat each person for the company whom he represents will reply stating just what\npart of the determinations hereinafter set forth are acceptable.\nThe conference was called primarily for the purpose of considering the\ntwo cases of Metz and Tuck vs. United States Radium Corporation which are set for\ntrial for January 15, ,1931, and the two claims, one in behalf of Mrs. Saxer and\nthe other in behalf of the Estate of Mrs. Stasi. It was also pointed out\nthat\nthere are pending in addition to the Metz and Tuck cases, the actions of Mrs.\nMadlinger and Mrs. Hoare.\nMr. Pesinger stated that on behalf of his company he was agreeable to a\nsettlement of the Tuck case for $8000.00 and that on behalf of his company he was\nwilling to pay its proportionate share of that sume. However, he said\nthat\nhe\nwas determined to have the question of coverage settled at this time and also the\nquestion of what proportion his company should legally bear of the total amount.\nHe therefore insists that there should be a suit brought by the Radium Company for\nthe purpose of collecting from the insurance companies involved, the $8000.00 to\nbe paid in settlement of the Tuck case. Whether that suit is won or lost by the\nRadium Company, his company will nevertheless pay its proportionate share of the\n$8000.00. This he is willing to do because he feels that his company has waived\nany question of coverage in this case by undertaking the defense thereof."
