0 0 P Y COLLINS & CORBIN COUNSELLORS AT LAW Exchange Place Jersey City, N.J. July 20, 1935. C & C 1461 Anita J. Burricelli V U. S. Radium. C & C 1484 Harold J. Weber, Admr. ad Pros. vs. U.S. Radium. H. H. Barker, Esq.. Vice Pres. U.S. Radium Corp.: 535 Pearl Street, New York City. Dear Mr. Barker: Mr. Studer of Messrs. McCarter & English called on the 19th inst. and stated that the American Mutual had sent the summonses and complaints to him in the above two cases and that he wished to advise me that the company's position would be consistent with its previous stand that it would refuse to defend. However, he said there might be some delay in advising you of the fact as Mr. Brooks of the Company was away. He wanted to know whether in the meantime your company's interests would be protected and I told him that I was protecting your interest until his company decided whether it would come in and defend, if it did so decide. Of course if it did not decide to defend, I presume that If Judge Ackerson's decision should be adverse, his company will have to stand its portion of the liability, shich statment Mr. Studer agreed with. With kindest regards, Sincerely yours, EAM: AG E. A. Markley (signed)
