Ca l if o r n ia October 7* 1937 / IN YOUR REPLY PLEASE REFER TO NO. iaa Dr. Robert A. Kehoe College of Medicine University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio Dear Doctor: Referring to yours of September 24th relative to the death of 3fr. I have requested specimens of the tissue from Dr. Moore and have finally been advised by her that there are none available. I called Dr. Chauncey Leake, Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of California, who acted as advisor and witness at the hearing which was held. His testimony was excellent but the case was not decided and was set for further hearing tomorrow morning, Priday the 8th* It is our intention to let the witnesses of the applicant testify without introducing any witnesses at this hearing for our case* We will then know what their complete plan is and will be able to handle it with less confusion than otherwise* Dr* Leake has already raised the question of analytical methods, also the question of separation of bismuth and lead. Just how the great discrepancy between Dr. Moore'3 findings of 1935 and the post, mortem findings; occurred, or what treatment was given this man after he stopped work at the refinery, will be developed at the hearing tomorrow, we hope. I shall advise you further, and it is possible that at the hearing following that of tomorrow, which we will request and which request will be granted, it may be desirable and to your benefit as well as. ours, although, of course, I am not certain at this time, that you, if possible, come out as a witness. H 0022012 The final decision in this matter, of course, will he left to the attorney handling the case, and I will write you again as soon as the next hearing has heen completed* With heat regards, I am Your3 very truly.
