Markley, attorney for the United | pro- | States Radium corporation, tested today against the implication that his client is responsible for the legal delays in the case of five for- | mer women employes who are dying of radium polsoning. A year ago this month the women flled a joint suit seeking $250,000 |each from the Radium corporation to ease the last days of their lives. Doctors had told them their-bodies while painting watch dials would soon prove fatal. that the |smiled, “unless it's my own cooking radium which they had taken into postponement was taken until April 2, because of the inability of several defense witnesses to appear. Nest came an adjournment until April 25 for the same reason. On the last date all evidence for the five women was presented. Phy- sicians testified that medical science knew no cure for their malady. Presentation of evidence was con- jcluded on April 27 and counsel for the company then asked for an, other postponement so they would have time to prepare an answer, The chancery court docket. crowded with other cases, showed that the nearest open date for an- other hearing was September 34— five months later. Chancellor Baches told Berry | that §f he could obtain in writing the consent of the attorneys in other cases, another hearing on the application for an injunction eould {be held May 22. That was done and the next hearing is now set for | next Tuesday. Markley, the company attorney, {said the delays were the natural .}relult of the present court system. Markley said that the numerous| ‘Many cases in which the defen- 1 do all my postponements which have prevent. | Wash o4 the women from recelving theé | protection of the law were not done everything possible to expedite justice.* After the filing of the original suit a year ago counsel for the Radium corporation moved that {t be thrown out of court on the grounds that New Jersey's two- year statute of limitations had ex- pired. The radium poisoning, which results {n a slow and painful death. had been contracted between 1917 and 1920 but was not diagnosed un- til 192 On the grounds that his clients | did not know until seven years later that they were doomed to die, Ray- mond Berry, their attorney, asked the court of chancery for an order restraining the company from de. fending itself with the statute of limitations. Ordinarily, according to New Jersey court records, such cases are given almost immediate hearings. The bill for an injunction was fled July 19, 1927. Hearing was set for January 12, 1928. On that date dant lost a leg or an arm or In some cases both, have been waiting on the docket for 1wo or three vears,” Markley satd. “The case of these girls is im- | portant and if the plaintifts’ coun- | sel ean get it moved up I will co- | operate. | “I do believe, however, that the case is being over-estimated, The | girls have lived seven years after | they stopped working in the radium | plant.

After that the dam- age action itself must be tried on its own merits. One doctor has testi- fied that he believes no one of the poisoned girls will live out the year.
