N~. Geo. B. Pryde: Tiith reference to the Joe Decora compensation case. Hrs. Decora told me a short time ago that Er. Decora would not approve the stipulation which we submitted for his signature for an a mount of 02,000 .00 , based on l 1-3 of the amount provided for the loss of the leg above the knee. She stated that inas much as the COI!lp any had refused to allO\'! L:Z. . Decora to continue in t he se rvice she was of the opinion that his disab ility was tot al i nst ead of partia l. Dr. Arbogast informs me t hat Mrs. Decora had also talked ov er the matter with h i m a nd s he intimat ed to t he doctor t h at :r. Euir,Count y Attorne y , had informed her she probably could r e cov er co n side r abl y mor e than t he i'. 2,000. 00 for ".":hich ,.._.e off ered to stipule.te t1ith her husb i,.nd.
