the preparation OF crime. The lawyer
told how she had required one of her
students to obey her strictly because
she was Goods mouthpiece.n
The masters, accompanied by Chan
der and Streeter, the opposing counsel,
and q court stenographer, went to
Pleasant View and had an hours per-
sonal interview with Mrs. Eddy, who,
though extremely feeble, received them
alone, answered their questions and ex-
planned her faith. What the masters
thought of her mentality was not then
made known. They treated her with
much consideration. Later when Law
yer Howe said they would show that
Mrs. Eddy had been insane for forty
years Streeter said 1t was merely ali

very poor marksman indeed who could
not land enough to make a fine mess. .

to the penitentiary for long term.

was never more in earnest, Insisting
that he is right IN demanding the Inn
prisoament Of guilty individuals, pro-
lyided the punishment falls on those
really responsible for the ofrenses and
not on the mere subordtnates, He
says that Ii the officers OF corporal ions
are innocent they do not need to worry
