Boar Yr. -Ittnacht:
After talking to you the other day., relative
to the
case, I looked up the matter of Dr* Morris
and Dr
er, remembering too lato to eoint out to you
h 1-v o -f- ;
'iorris had been medical examiner in iew Yo :!: City
for some years and that he had done some of the autopsy
and subsequent investigations in connection with the Bayway
poisoning* I have no knowledgeoJMaovMpr* Korrls and Gattlor
obtained information about the ^flH|H|case* However, ny
best guess is that something in tnn^srtuatlon load them to
believe that this case was similar to the Bayway poisoning
and that they might find tetraethyl lead in the tissues as
they did in certain of the Bayway cases* I have no reason
to believe that either of those gentlemen is other than an
able and honest Investigator* Consequently, I do not
believe that you need to have any fear of their findings
in this case*
I have not heard from Dr. Danders up to the present as to his investigations in this case* I have wired him to send me a report and 1 shall probably hear from him shortly* I dhall be away from the laboratory this week and wil' probably see you in How York Friday or Saturday* I shall arrange that any information which arrives in my absence shall be transmitted to me in your cano* Perhaps, with a little real information, we shall be able to size up the problems in this case* As yet I am completely in the dark*
Very truly yours.
