Gen. Strceter Puts Former Senator
Chandler in the Ananias Club.

Concord. n H., May 24-The concluding
arguments in the hearing incidental to
the bill in equity, Eddy VS.. Frye, in
which the issue was raised by way of a
! separate motion asking that the trustees
of Mrs. Eddy's estate be substituted for
the next friends as plaintiffs, under the
| original bill. were made to-day, court be
! ing in session from 10 o'clock this morn
ing until o'clock tonight, with an hour
interim for lunch.
Most Of the day was consumed by coun-
| sci for George W. Glover and other next
friends, arguing against the motion 10 in
tervene
De Witt G. Howe. occupied all the time
at the morning session and an hour this
afternoon. addressing himself mainly to
the proposition that this was no legal
ground for setting aside the original
plaintiffs for the Eddy trustees. who, in
the role Of substituted plaintiffs, would
simply drop the case of Eddy VS. Frye
ct al. and the question OF Mrs. Eddy's
competency would never be judicially de-
termined.
Claims Contempt of Court.
Senator William f. Chandler. senior
counsel for George ". Glover. also spoke
at length against the motion 20 inter
vene. He argued that the execution Of A
deed Of trust by which Mrs. Eddys prop
erty was conveyed TO Messrs. Baker. Nc
Lellan and Fernald, subsequent to the
filing Of the bill in equity, was. in his
mind. the boldest sort Of contempt Of
court proceeding Of which he had ever
known.
The ex-senator. I'm reviewing the Incl
dents which led up to the suit In equity
mentioned the chief plaintiff, George W.
Glover, and Counsel Streeter for the trus-
tees. asked why Glover was not present
Senator Chandler replied that it was be-
cause they had no funds to get him there
You have" replied Gen. Streeter

answered Mr. Chandler, "as I have taken
it previously from higher authority than
he"
This passage was followed by laughter
among the spectators, necessitating the
calling for order by the sheriff.
Argues at Length.
Mr.. Chandler argued that it was pre-
posterous proposition that three trustees
appointed by the power represented 10y
the defendants in the original bill should
be substituted for Mrs. Eddy's own son
and other relatives who. as original plain
tiffs. were seeking an accounting and gem
eral investigation of Mrs. Eddy's affairs
and condition.
Gen. Frank S. Streeter. Mrs. Eddys per
sonal counsel and counsel for the three
trustees made the closing argument. stat
ing that the authority Of the trustees
rested upon the trust deed itself. which
was a valid document and conferred upon
the trustees the right 90 prosecute the
equity case upon the presentation Of the
evidence of wrOnEdOlng
AS Judge Chamberlin has a new court
assignment within a fortnight there is no
likelihood that more will be heard of tho
case In court until the October term, ex-

Boise. Idaho. May 2+-Attorneys for the
defense in the Haywood murder trial
swept the habitat globe to-day in their
efforts TO develop reasons for disqualify-
ing all the talesmen called from serving
on the jury that is to try their client.
Millions of words resulted. Darrow

ardson relieved him in the afternoon.
These two skilled lawyers devoted their
talents 70 tangling up the farmers who
succeeded one another in the jury chairs
in rapid succession.
For the most part they found it an easy
job The result was that when court quit
business for the day there was Only TWEEN
ty-iive Of the panel Of sixty talesmen who
had not been examined and disqualified.
Only one Of the sixty has as yet got past
the examiners. He is Henry Curtis, a
middle-Jged Englishman.

Practically, it was. II quoted statute

The court had never heard Of the statute

and he escaped in a cloud Of glory.
Mr.. Curtis it seemed, was q number Of

in socialism.
