OFFICE OF

Attorney

IN REPLY PL EASE REFER TO

NO.

Mr. H.J. Harrington
Rock Springs, Wyoming
Dear Sir:
In reference to the voucher of $750 . 00 au tho rized
to be paid to John Petrovich as a gratuity :
Mr . McAuliffe understands the circumstances under
which this voucher is authorized. It seems to me the
situation is a delicate one and t hat a general release
might or might not be deemed advisable .
We are to stipulate $750.00 by way of compensation
is to be awarded, and we believe that that award is all that
the v.-orkrnan is entitled to under the law, yet it is proposed
to give him $750.00 more, and not to continue him in our
employ .
A situation of this sort to my mind should be
carefully considered lest at some future time our own
act in the premises may be construed as recognizing a
condition borderi ng upon permanent total disability .
Of course I disclaim any such thought. Still, it seems
to me that it would be ~~se to have Mr . McAuliffe consider
the situation and to decide the language to be employed in
dravd.ng the voucher , and whether or not some form of
contract in the shape of a "general release" might be
deemed advisable .

�Rock Springs, Wyoming.
December 28th, 1932.
!L r. Geo. ~. Pryde:Referring to personal injury of S. Tanaka:
\l'lorkman was struck by a fall of top coal while
employed in Rock Springs No . 4 rfci.ne on Oct. 17th, 1932, which
caused the follo\·.d.ng injuries:

Fracture of the 7-9-10-11 and

12th left ribs; both ischia; sacrum; and 1st lumbar vertebrae
vath separation of both sacro-illiac joints and severe shock.
Workman is married, wife and four children residing in Rock Springs,
the children range in ag e from 2 to 9 years, workman has been in
our employ for 20 years ·w ith the exception of the years 192 0 and
. 19 21; he is .51 years of age and in very poor circumstances.
On October 19th, 1932, in conversation v.d.th Dr.
'l'. H. Roe, at the hospital here, we .were advised that the shock had

subsided but the worlcman's right lung appeared to be filling with
fluid, a11d that due to the serious condition of the worlcman at
that time Dr. Roe ,,as unable to make proper examination to determine as to whether or not this was due to hemorrhage or pneumonia,
but that he suspected pneumonia, he said that the workman was in
a highly nervous condition and that unless he v,as kept quiet and
gi van special attention that there was not much hope for his recovery, and he suggested that the worlcman be removed to a private
room and that a special nurse be assigned to look after him.

'Ihe

Doctor stated that he thought this special care should extend over
a period of about ho weeks,
We got in touch with Ur. Butler, of the Feck Springs

�- 2 .:ipital Commission, and explained the circumstances to him and he
agreed that under these conditions that the workman should have
specia l care, but that the rules of the Commission prohibited payment for private rooms an d special nurses but that he thought that
arrang ements could be made to take care of the additional expense
in this case, and that he woul d take the matter up with John McTee,
another member of the board.

I~r . McTee advised Ur. Butler that

such an arrangeme11t was agreeable with him and that payment could be
taken care of in some ,ray.

Vl e informed Miss Shields, Superintendent

of the Hospital, as to the result of our interview with Mr. Butler
and that it was our understanding that the Hospital Commission would
make provision to defray the expense of private room, special nurse,
etc., 'I he v1orkman ,:1as then transferred to a private room and a
special nurse detailed to attend him.

This special care was contin-

ued over a period of ho weeks at which time wo rltman had sufficiently
recovered to allow removal to one of the hospital wards.

Later,

ho'\'rever, when the bill for these services, in an amount of $125 .SO,
was presented to the Commission for payment the third member of the
board, Joe Kudar, made objection to payment on the grounds that the
rules of the Commission must be lived up to regardless of consequences, Mr. licTee then voted with Kudar not to allow the bill and payment of the amount was refused.
It is easy to see and understand the possibility
of imposition should the commission make no discrimination in the
payment of bills of this character, it being generally understood
that the cost of service of this character is to be paid by the
workman or his family, but considering the unusual conditions of
this case and in connection with the fact that this special service

�- 3&amp; prescribed

as being entirely necessary, by '-.t he Surgeon who is

in the en:plo_y of the Commission certainly such special service should
be provided a nd not at the expense of the hospital, nurses, or the
injured workman.
I am enclosing herevd.th bill ol Nurse Sweeney for

servic es an d th e hospital is carrying a balance of $41.50 for
rent of private room and nurse's board.

to Ur. Loomis, in which you state tha_t you \70uld be glad to
confer v,i th :Jr. Morgan upon co.:npensation matters af'ter our

Yo11 will rea ember my reading to 7ou a letter thnt

r wi·ote tr) Jud.Je Tidball, and your asking me if I had reoei ved
any reply, and I told you flnon.

Yesterday I received a reply,

and it gJ.Y c 1ue an op1)ortun1ty to ansi7er Judge Tidball and eet

matters before him a.s a Judge that could hardly have heen gotten
bafore W:~ in the trial of a case. I aJ!t inclosing a copy of
e17 letter to Judge Tidball.

Judge Tidball, as he states in bis letter to me, dated
August 8th, r~lused, at the request of the County Attorney, to
set throe cases for trial. lly complaint to him TI"as, as you will
~emeube1·, that 1:ecklessly t..'1e County .Attorney's office was
subpoenaing witnesses, cedical exper·ts., and using them in
needless litigation.
I shnll bring to Cheyenne UJ"/ correspondence With
Judge Tidball, as it illustrates ~Y point of view, as well as
his, and I thlnk, a desir~ on the part of both of us to remedy
some ev11.s,

Dear Mro Pryde:
Referring t o your letter o:f August 1st, suggesting August
17th at 10. 00 o'clock A. M. as the date for a conference at our office
with reference to possible changes in the compensation law and 01.1r- subsequent exchange of telegrams with reference to the availability af
August 16th for the conference:
I note that the 16th would not be available for the reasons suggested and we will re-arrange our schedule here so that the conference
can be held on the 17th.
I have arranged to have Mr. Calverly here and will also arrange
through him for a representative from the Midwest Refining Cctm.pany to
attend.

He has suggested that Mr. Osborne of Ca~per representiri;g . : the

Standard in such matter, should be here and I have asked him to arrange
that also. He also promised to give me a list of other persons mom he
would suggest should attend.

When I have received same, I will give the

matter further consideration.
Presumably you and Mr. Mc.A.uliffe have given consideratiOll to
having a representative of the labor organizations here and concluled
that it would not be wise.

Judge Lacey lns suggested that we have al-

ways been in agreement with the labor organizations, a situation which
has been very helpful in getting compensation legislation through the
Legislature.

I suggest this so you and Mr. McAuliffe may consider

whether it would be advisable to have Jimmy Morgan and Mr. Fox at the
conference.
CC-Mr. Eugene McAuliffe

Mr. T.S.Taliaferro,Jr.

Very truly yours,

»L u.~.,~

ear Si r :

I think there should be a conference between some of the larger
em)loyers of' lab or in extra- hazardous employments, to vmrk out several proposed ch ange s in th e law, to be presented to the coming Legislature. Here
i n Si7e e t r1ater County , an effort is being made to use the Compensation Law
a s a poli t ical convey ance. It is unnecessary for me to go into detail as to
nho is doing t hi s, and the inconsistent and unreasonable changes which are
being proposed.
Ho ~ever, the County Attorney has gone so far as to state to the
Judg e of t h e dist r ict court that the hernia statute will be repealed by the
next Legislatur e. Of course, such action by the Legislature would be in
violation of moder n scientific thought upon the subject.
Some of the things that I think should be considered are:

A law limiting the number of witnesses which the County Attorney
may subpoena at the expense of the employer.
Non-resident employers of labor to give surety as to contributions
to the f und.
·r he constitutionality of the service charge to non-resident
employers should be considered.
The eff ect of lower wages upon the awards as fixed by the
schedule, and the inevitable diminution of the fund, under present
schedules. •
A modern schedule of loss of vision should be pro posed~ in lieu
of the present schedule.
The sta tuto ry fees for investigatio n s made by Commissioners u p on
reference by the Judge to be fixed by law.

I wrote a letter, a few days ago, to Judge Tidball, protest~ng the
bringin3 bJ the County Attorney of many witness e s, in behalf of claimants
who are iuduced to bring suits by one Dan ~allie. I stated to the Judge'

t ha t almos t every t hi ng t hat t h ese witnesses would testify to v:ould have
been admitted without any witnesses. But that is not the idea. The using
of t he s e vi tnesses is a t the exp ense of employers, and is a gratuity.
I think it would be well if you would consider this l.etter, and
s e e i f ar range2nents can be made, sometime before it is too late, for such a
meetin; , and t o h ave a p rogram for consideration which has been well thought
out . At lea st t hose who attend this meeting should be those who have had
a ctual experience in t h e op eration of the law, and who have given consideration to t h e administration of the law in other states.
It vmuld seem to the writer that Rock Springs would be the most
favorable pl ace to have the meeting.

Dear Mr. Pryde:
Referring to your letter of A:ugust ls,t, suggest i ng August
l'lth at 10°00 o'clock A oMo as the date for a conference at our office
with reference to poss1·b1e en' anges in the compensation law and our subsequent exchange of telegrams with reference to the availability af'
August 16th for the conference:
I note that the 16th would not be available for the reasons suggested and we will re - arrange our schedule here so that the conference
can be held on the 17tho
I have arranged to have Mro Calverly here and will also arr ange
through him for a representative from the Midwest Refining Ccw~pany to
attend.

He has suggested that Tuiro Osborne of Ca~per represent ing

: the

Standard in such matter, should be here and I have asked him to arrange
that also. He also promised to give me a list of other persons mom he
would suggest sho·.1ld a. ttend.

When I have received same, I wi 11 give the

matter further consideration.
Presumably you and Mr. McAuliffe have given consideration to
having a representative of the labor organizations here and concluied
that it would not be wise.

Judge Lacey l::as suggested that we have al-

ways been in agreement with the labor organizations, a situation which
has been very helpful in getting compensation legislation through the
Legislature.

I suggest this so you and 1u-. McAuliffe may consider

whether it would be advisable to have Jimmy Morgan and Mr. Fox at the
conference.

CC-Mr. Eugene McAuliffe

Mr. T.S.Taliaferro,Jr.

Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:
I '

I think the::ce sh ould be a conference between some o f the l arger
employers of l ab or i n extra-hazardous emp loymen ts, to work out sev e ral p roposed changes i n t h e l aw)) to be p resented t o t h e coming Legislatu r e. He r e
in Sweetwater County , an effort is being made to use the Comp en sati on Lan
as a political convey a nce. It is unnecessary fo r me to g o i n to de t ail as to
who is doing this, an d t h e inconsisten t an d unreasonable changes which are
being proposed.
Ho vrever, the County Attorn ey ha s gone s o fa r a s to s t a te to the
Judge of the dist r ic t court that t h e he r ni a sta t u t e \--ill be r ep ealed b J t h e
next Legislature . Of cou rse , such a c t ion by t h e Leg isl a ture vmuld be in
violation of modern scientific t hought up on t he subject.
Some o f t h e t h ing s t h at I t h i:riJ{ sh oul d be con sidered a re:

may sub poena at the exp ense of the em}loyer.

that almost every t~1.ing th9.t these witnesses would testify to vmuld hav e
been admitted vd th.out any witnesses. But t h at is not the i dea . The using
of these witnesses is at the eA'J) ense of employers, and is a gratuity .
I think it would be well if y ou would con side r t h is l etter .:, and
see if arrang e:n en ts can be ma de, sometime before it is too late , for such a
meeting, and to have a program for consideration \'Jhi ch has been well thought
out. At least t h ose ·aho attend this meeting shoul d be those 1nho have had
actual experience in the o p eration of the l aw, and 1.vho have given consideration to the administration of the law in other states.
It would seem to the writer t11at Rock Springs woul d be the most
favorable place to have the meeting.

a r., Eugene hlc.Auliffe,
Pres., Union Pacific Coal Co.,
Qnaha, Nebraska.
Dear h!Ir. ~Aulif fe:

Mr. Pryde has come to Cheyenne to-day and we have gone over the
bills \'lhich 1Ir. Taliaferro has prepared with reference to the compensation
law.

Copy of my letter to Mr. Lazear which is enclosed herewith ~ill in-

dicate the action we have taken.

In addition t hereto \'le have furnished

copies of Mr .. Taliaferro' s letter to me explaining the bills and copies
of the bills themselves to Ur. Llullen and Mr. O'Leary.

lt seems i;o 111e

that Mr. 'l'aliaferro has fully and carefully covered the instructions which
you gave him, and I have no suggestions to make except to suggest the
possibility that the amendment to Section 124-120 R. S. 1931, as amended
by Chapter 129 Session La\'1s of Uyomine, 19 33, occurring in the last paragraph of sub-section {a) thereof, may not be entirely clear.

I have not,

however, at ~empted to make any change in this e1:1ended provision, thinking
that it will be better to take this up in connection with other possible
amendments to be discussed with the Senate Committee to which the bills
are referred.

I V1ill advise you when the matter is set for hearing before

the Senate Committee.
Very truly yours,

JUL-T
cc - Mr. T. S. Taliaferro, Jr.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, Jan. 16, 1935 .
.Jr. Edward To Lazear,
Building.

Dear Mr. Lazear:
I hand you t1erewith the three bills prepared by Mr. Taliaferro
with reference to the Workmen's Compensation Law; the catastrophe fund
and the law with reference - to motions for new trial. t also enclose copy
of Mr. Taliaferro' s letter to me in explanation of these bills.
With particular reference to the bill amending the law vi.th
reference to new trials, the purpose of this amendment is to place a limitation upon the time within which motions for new trial upon the ground of
neuly discovered evidence can be filed. As the law now exists, at least
as interpreted by Judge Tidball, there is no such limitation and this has
an important bearing, as will be apparent to you, of cases under the compensation law. Ii' there is no sue h limitation an injured \'Jorkman may years
after the occurrence of the injury file a motion for new trial in a proceeding for an a~ard upon the ground of newly discovered evidence and open
the v1hole case .
I have spoken to Senator Pearson about these bills and he understands that you ~ill introduce them. I suggest that you speak to him,
telling him you have the bills in your possession, and be certain that he
is in the chair when they are introduced so that he will refer them to the
proper committee. He advised ~e that he ~ould refer the bills to the judiciary committee. 'When the bills have been referred to that committee, of
which you are a member, the coal operators and others would like to have a
date for hearing before the coI:lffii.ttee set far enough in advance so that
ample notice can be given to all interested and the matter can be carefully
considered by the committee. Will you kindly advise me of the action you
have taken in this connection.
Very truly yours,
JUL-T
c~ - Mro T. So Taliaferro, Jr.
Mr. Eugene McAuliffe.

Dear l.Ii-. rhAulif'fe:
Mr. Pryde has come to Oheyoone to-dny and we have eone over tho

bills· which llr. Taliaferro has prepared with reference to the compensation

law.

dicate tbo action 1:1e have token.

In addition thereto go have furnished

copies of llr.. Taliaferro• e letter t~ ne explainin&amp; th e bills and copios
ot the bills themsolvos to IJr. Uullen and Mr. O'Leary .

It oeoms to Ile

that Ur. Taliaferro has fully and carefully covered the instructions ghich
you gave him, and I have no suggestions to make except to suggest the

possibility that the amendoent to Section 124-120 R. S. 1931, as amen~ed
by Chapter 129 Session Laws of 'i'lyoming, 1933, occurring in the laat para-

graph of sub-section (a) thereof, may not be entirely clear.

I have not,

ho't18ver, at .. emp-ted to make any cbange in thie a:iended provision. thinking

that it will be better to take this up in connection with other po.esible
amendments to be discuaeod with the Senate Committee to \7hich the bills
are referred.

I will Gdvise you when tho matter is .eat tor hearing betore

tne Senate Committee.
Very truly rours,

October 10, 193 5

Jffice of
• Attorney
kr. Georg e E o P r yde,
Vice President and Gene ral :Manag er,
The Union Paci f i c Coal Company,
Rock Spri ng si, ~yomi ngo
Dear Sir:

I hand y ou herewith the testimony of t vrn of our l ocal
Doctors taken in a case at Green Ri ver on the 2nd day of Oc t ober,
1935, wherein Pal y') t he County Attorney and others claime d
an em:9loyee of t h e Lion Coal Company wa s permane n tly, to t ally
disabled fro m insanityo

This ca s e involved s ometh ing around, I think, $ 8 ,00 0 oOO .
This case will be of interest to you, becau se I think The Union
Pacific Coal Company has one or t i.:70 simil a r caseso
I vvan t you t .o read t he testimony g iven by Dro Janner,
which i l lustrates the jeopardy we are in at a l l timeso

I find out that I make a mista ke in a former case, wh ich
mistake I avoided in this case, and I also avoided it in the Union
Pacific case of Eugene Griglione. I think I told you the many
letters an d messag es that I sent to General At torney Loomis.

I had this transcription made especially for the benefit
of 1:r o Bayless, a,nd I ask you to turn it over to him when you have
read Dro '7anner' s testimonyo On second thought, I think it would
be well for y ou also to get a good picture of how easy it is to get
one Doctor in ten or fifteen t6give testimony, which will s upport
almost any outrageous claimo If Dr. •:!anner ha d examined this
-.;.rorkruan con s tantly fr om the ti me that he went to the Denver
s pecialists, t h e Lion C~)al Company would have lost the case. It
may be expensivei, and this case was ex:9 ensive for the Lion Coal
Cortr::iany , bu t we must send our patients to the specialists near the
ti~-e of trial a,nd after local Doctors have committed themselves.
This case vJas ex1Jensi ve for me, the time that I put in on the case
"b eing ,.-rn rth a g ood deal more than the Lion Coal Company will pay
•:·e f er t"IT7 o ,r ears o
Kindly treat this letter e,s confidential between you and

THE COURT: He was injured, Doctor, accord.ing to the
report of the employee, on the 16th of October, 1931.

(Contin u ing)
I sa,w him ap:p roxi ma tely pos sibly on t he 18th
or 1g t .n of t h a t same mon tt.
You n aae en examination of him a t that time?
Yet=, I e xamined him. I examine d on e o f his ears , on t he injur ed si e , b ec ause he had been h~v i ng some bleeding , and
Docto r Sanaers called me in to see him . I believ e he was
su p.f)o se d to have been dizzy . Vi e 1Jer e tryin g to locate t h e
sour ce of his injury at that time. I a lso examined s ome x - ray
picti;,re.:: of h i m .

A.

l o ,u , will y ou p le a se st a te to the Court what y ou found as a
result 01 that examination~
At that examin a tion, the e ar drum had evidentl y bee n ru p ture d , and there wa s s ome b loody seru m showin g over tha t
site a.t that exciJ11ination.
The x -ray p ictures -- I ,.1asn 't
able to see in them any defi nite f racture tha t rnuld in d icate a sku ll fr a cture. The man wa s we ak and appeared d iz zy
v,h en he sto o c"; up, and no further examin •• tion wa s m&amp;de by me
at th a t time. He ~a s sent in l ater to me f or a check- u p of
his he a ring and vision.

Q, .

i;)hen wa s that?

A.

That w&amp; s probably abou t a month aft er the time he was in the
ho s:pi tal.

Q, .

Nh a t did you find at that time?
At th&amp; t time the man complained of lo wered vision -- very
i,oor vision -- and he had many other symptoms of dizziness
~nd pain in 11is he ad . He compla ine d of not being a·ble to
hear on the one side. Fi.y examin a tion a t that ti :ne did not
disc lose very much to a ccou:1t for all o f those symptoms.
I e:x ~n i .E: c'i h im re1Je::.tedly, I ·would say many times, after
t lat . .:3om e of those ex a:nin&amp;tions were not mad e as a matter
of record , but they i'Jere made as casual office examin a tions,
2na the:1 I made an exa~ni::iution or t v.ro after that, v1hen I
be l ieve thG co a l company sent him, or through Doctors Lauzer
ano. 3E,i1 ;:,i e:rs , e. n d then I made re gular reiJorts of those examinati ons . BL,t his symp to ms ci.uring those :i;,eriods never seewed

Denv er.
'.'/.hect d. ia you find at that time?

I was unab le to find any }:)hysical ev1aence to support the
man's symp to 111 s at any time. I considered that either the
man '-.vas malinc;erin 6 or that he had some symptoms or some

Did you ever see hirn a fter that examina. tio n i n 1933?
I 'TI sorry, but I cion 't have my office r ecords v, i th me , and I
d on't kno w whether I did or not . At least , I don' t believe
I made a ny reports on him after tha t ti me .

Q,.

Did you ev er see him when he was no t a t your o ff ice -- that
is, see him c asually?
I bel iev e I h&amp;ve seen him on the s tr ee t, yes .

A.

Hov, , I v1ill ask y ou to state, f r om your examination of the
viO rkmo.n - - ci.id you find any perman ent phy sical disability,
o r did you find any - (Inter1)0sing) I would like to have tha t question put a litt l e differen tly, if possible, so tba t I may an s wer it more
intelligentl.f . Do you mean , d id I fin d any objective signs,
signs that I could see, of physical di sabi li ty?

Q.

Y~s, objective sympto"!ls.
·:,e spe :?..k of objective si gn s as something we can see, a nd
subj ective as som.ethin 6 that the p a tient feels. 1 have
n eve:r b een able to find any o ·bjective signs at all to account for his a lle ged trouble or symptoms.

A.

l'T ov·1 , in your opinion, do you believe that there are subjective sympto:11s or that there is somethine,; wrong with the man
mentall y?
Yes, I have formed a definite 01)inion in that regard throu gh
this period of time in which I had observed him and in readin 6 the reports of the specialists wr10 have examined him,
o.nd I have formed a definite opinion as to what I think his
trouble is.
"I/hat is that opinion?
IJy opinion is that he has a condition known as po st- traumatic

neuro si s , or psy chosis. I believe the ma n b elieves in h is
o' m mind that these thin gs a re wron g with him . At fir st I
wa s incli ned to believe, like the othe r men , t ha t the man
•:JE. S
n out- an d-out mal in 0 erer, but I am co nvi nc e d now t h at
he i s not . I believe , if you wan t to s o call it, that it is
a illild form o f insanity.
Q, .

A.

I n y our op inion, is this mental con ciiti on due to t h e injurie s which he sustain ed in October , 1~31?
In 1:1y p e rsonal OJ:)inio n, it coul d be possi ble .
lL. . '1'.ALIAFERRO:
I object to the an swer and move that
i t be stricken out.
He asked h i m, i n his opi nio n , di d h e

consi d e r his mBn tal con dit ion no w the result o f the a ccident, and now he says, "In my p ersonal o vinion , I think i t
mi~ht b e possible". That is si mply a gue ss.
S '.J er

THE COURT:
i t .

l1aybe that is a s definitely a s he c a n a n -

TH1TI 'i/IT.NESS : I mi bht qu a lify . that, if the Cour t wishes ,
on this ba sis -- that t h ese c a ses a re compara tively rare , and
much of our o p inion is f o rm ed on t h e _ a st r ecord of si mil a r
c ases t h a t we h a ve read abou t or ha ve see n come up before
other courts of a simi l &lt;-&lt;-r na ture. i.i:y findings are based
princi pally upon t h e interpretation o f the reports of tlle
other special_ists who have examined this man.
MR. T..ALIAFERm: I o bj ect to his basing his opinion
upon rep o r t s of other sp ecialists t hat have ex amined him.
This is not a hypothetical question.
THE COURT:

I think I wil l let the answer stand.

Does this ~e st-traumatic neurosis aisable this man from
p erf ormin g work at a. t,ainful occupation?
As lo ni a s it e xis t s, yes.

A.

Q, .

I v:il L ask y ou to state v1hether or not, in your OJ;)inion,
th e post-traumatic neurosis condition that you found to be
p r es ent in connection with this case, or this particular
v:ork1nan , Vfas il Levkulich, is permanent or merely temporary.
I am unable to answer that definitely, but, to quote again
from the authorities on similar cases, I would sey that
many ti:nes in such cases as this, when any kind of a settlement has been made, either for the patient or against him,
the neurosis will sometimes clear up when the patient's mind
has been satisfied that the case has been settled.
Doctor, are you a member of the Sweetwater County lun a cy
co mmis s ion?
Yes, sir .

What -vo uld you say a s to the mentality o f th i s wor kman? Is
it t o rma l , above normal or . below normal ?
J ot kno wing t he man before his present con dit ion, I would
not iJe able to s a y d efinitely, but I woul d p robabl y cla ssify
him as be ing somewhat below no rmal.
From your e xamination of this man, Doc t or, do y ou lcnov defi nitely , or even approximately, when t hi s _post-t raumati c
neuro si s wa s d eveloped or when it be c ame p re sen t in t he man
t
such an extent that he could not pe r f orm work a t a gain ful occupat ion?

~~1d was present at t he da te of your l ast exami nation in
September , 19:::i 3?
Ye s , s ir.
Could you sta te fro m your casua l obs ervati on of this man a ft er that time whether- t ha t con di tion sti ll e x iste d at the
time you saw him, and, if so, appro x ima tely what time or
da te tha t was?
'l'he only way I could ansv,er tha t is that the last time I
p erson&amp;lly saw him and examined him, it existed, a nd in
talkin g to ~ embers of his family and others, t~e condition
'/"S a11p a. re n tly the same v.rhen I would inquire about him.

In o t..ri.er words , y ou ke11 t in close touch with this case
sir.ce :Lts inception to the present time, is that correct?
Fairl y close, through asking about his welfare from his
o ther aoctors an d his n ife and one or t wo qf his children
the. t I have s een.
I 1:!ill ask you to state, to ascertain and to realize that
this trauma tic ·neurosis condition exists -- can that be
found upon one examination of a v:o:rkman or does that require
&amp; continuous study of the case?
There are certain cases of traumatic neurosis which are
demon strated by actual physical findings, such as x-ray pictures, and there are some that we are not able to demonstrate
ana yet v,e know they exist.

Q, .
P. .

In w.rLich class would this one be'?
I believe this is a case in which no physical evidence can
be shown in the way of x-rays or tests to support his symptoms.

Hot until afte r he v,as e xam ined in Denver did you form that

Yes , sir.
Did you form that opinion, a s you h e.ve stated, from the reports that were received from these specialists in De nver and

The reiJorts would indicate that the man did not have a traumatic neurosis.
And you formed that opinion after you had read these reports?
Yes, s i r.

menta l condition of this claimant from what these other sur6 eon s ha 1e su.id?
I v:as able to separate the v:hea t from the chaff, so to
spea.1{, and from the hi1;hlights of' their findings, these comp lete re.i:&gt;orts, I was ab le to sift down and correlate them,
and. I formed my opinion from that source rather than from
wha t the do ctors' opinions were of the case.
You testified at one time that you arrived at that conclusion as to the condition of this work'1lan from what the s_fleciali sts had s a id about him_, v1ha t they reported?
I did .
You arr ived at it from what they said'?
Yes, s ir.
An a i t was , then, that you read between the lines ana determined that some of the things that they said were chaff and
other things that they said were wheat?
Yes, sir.

In this le tte r of Harch 22nd, l';lo3, marked Employer's Exhibit A , the following appears -\'/e e:xami n ed him very carefully and could find no evid ence of any uer.'.Ilanent disability as a result of the
a ccident , unliss his present mental state is the.result
of the injury to the head. This cannot be verified by

personal ly, yourself, about thi ff: You hadn't examined him,
you stated?
Ho, sir.

':,7hat I am getting at, Doctor, is what you read in the reno rt0 of these surgeons• That was the only other means you
had , i zn ' t that true?

�9

t-1a t is not true, in my sense of t he interp retation of
it , as to what other mea ns I h ad . I rely u 1)on my au thori ti es in med icine, possibly like an a ttorney relies on his
