in His Mothers interests.
" In a statement issued by former
United States Senator William E.
Chandler, special counsel in the &C.
ton, it is declared that Mr.. Glover
is actuated by no spirit Of disrespect
10 his mother, but believes that the
proceeding is in her real interest.
mr.. Glover says that the action is
not directed against the religion of
the Christian Scientists.
The statement further declares
that Mr. Glover had long thought that
his mother was growing too feeble in
body and mind to attend to important
business matters, but that for long
time he was unable to confirm this
suspicion because those Immediately
about her seemed unwilling to allow
even her nearest relatives to have
an interview long enough to reveal
her actual condition.
Early in January it is stated, Mr..
Glover during a visit to Concord was
enabled to talk with his mother for
three-quarters of an hour and, as a
result, after due consideration he de-
cided upon the present action "as an
imperative duty too long neglected."
# Alleges She Is Incompetent.
The action is returnable at the
April term of the Merrimac county
superior court, which assemblies on
the first Tuesday of the month. Spe-
officially the bill alleges that the nom
inal plaintiff, Mrs. Eddy, who sues
''by her next friend" is, and for a
long time has been incompetent to do
business or to understand transac-
lions conducted in her name in con-
nection with her property.
The next allegation is that the de-
PENDANTS have possessed themselves
of her person and property and have
carried on her business.
1t is also alleged that having done
this, knowing Of her infirmity, they
have become trustees for her of all
property which has come into her
possession and are bound to give &C.
count thereof and of all their trans
4 actions in her name.
1t is further alleged that there is
reason to fear that the defendants
wrongfully converted some of her
property to their own use, and that
Z there are particular transactions Of
which an account should be given.
