The wrangling took place across a large oval table at the Boston Bar Association as Waldstein took sworn depositions from Burke and Koppell, HRA's president, in the first step of the pre-trial discovery phase of Martin's quit.
Koppell was questioned most carefully about the authority under which he signed an agreement on March 28, 1941, acknowledging Martin's copyright to the 1941 "Let's Go." He stated that Burke was aware that Martin threatened to withhold his manuscript unless HEA agreed to acknowledge his copyright. But Koppell...
Then Koppell read from his affidavit of March 19 that he "felt compelled to submit to Martin's demands" in order that "the guide could be published in time for distribution for the summer season."
"At the time of exercises of this agreement," Koppell repeated from his affidavit, "I was not an officer of HEA and had no authority to make any contract on behalf of the corporation."
"Was that your state of mind when you signed the agreement?" Waldstein asked. MEA lawyer Harold Rosenwald '27 quickly instructed Koppell not to answer this question.
