Although, as McClure's Magazine
claims, the court record may state that
NV divorce from Dr. Patterson was
granted on the ground Of desertion, the
cause nevertheless was adultery. lndl-
viduals are here today who were pres
ent in court when the decision was CIV
en- by the Judge and who know the fol-
lowing facts. After the evidence hail
been submitted that a husband was
about to have DR.. Patterson arrested
for clipping with his wife, the court In
structed the clerk to record the divorce
in my favor.
What prevented DR.. Patterson's ar
rest was a letter from me to TINS
selfsame husband imploring him not to-.
When this husband recovered his Wlte'

and l was also the means of reconell-

has told me that with tears of graft
tude the wife of this husband related
these facts to her just as | have stated
them. I lived with Dr. Patterson
peaceably and he was kind to me up to
the time of the divorce.
The following affidavit by r. D.
Rounsevel of Littleton, N. H, proprie-
tor of the White Mountain House,
Fabyans, N. H., the original of which
is in my possession, is of interest in
this connection:
About the year 1874 Dr. Patterson, a
dentist, boarded with me in Littleton
New Hampshire. During his stay, at
different times l had conversation with
him about his wife, from whom ne was
separated. He spoke of her being a
pure and Christian woman, ami the
cause of the separation being wholly
on his part, that if he had done as ne
ought he might have had as pleasant
and happy home as one could wish foI
At that time had no knowledge OF
who his wife was, Later on | learned
that Mary Baker G. Eddy, the Discov-
erer and Founder of Christian Science
was the above mentioned woman.

the veritable Mrs. Eddy, whom the
New York World declared dying OF

the enterprising historians for the tes-
