SOME OF mrs. EDDY's IDEAS
She Thought Her Attendants Want
ed Her Team to Run Away.
Stated That Some One Had Broken
Into Her House and Stolen
Her VIII

Concord, N. H., May 16.-Additiona
affidavits were filed by the plaintiff
in the Eddy accounting suit in the 81
perioT court Wednesday. One is The
affidavit Of William q. Chandler, con
tanning the letter which George W
Glover wrote to his mother, Mrs. MARI
Glover Eddy, from Washington. Feb
ruary 20. 1907.
In this letter which was addressed
my Dear Mother" Mr. Glover says:
Both before | left home and after
coming east / learned facts which
convince me that steps should be TAX.
en- concerning your property in the way
Of legal proceedings which will salts
fy everybody that you are being legal
ly served by those whom you most i'm.
plicitly trust in your present bodily
and mental weakness natural to your
advanced years.
For many years l have thought
that persons to whom you had given
your confidence and who had sur.
rounded you and taken complete
charge Of your affairs were not de-
serving of such faith as you appeared
to have In them and such power as
they assumed In your name"
The letter then refers to difficulties
that Mr.. Glover says he and his
daughter Mary had experienced in
trying to visit his mother in Concord
as far back as 1908 and the coming
down to the present year says:
ION January End, Mary and / went
to Concord and had an interview with
you. and the painful doubts which had
been excited In my mind were not
overcome by that interview.
various notions Of yours seemed
strange to me, especially when you
said that your students and the men
who gave you that pair Of beautiful
horses wanted them TO run away and
kill you; that men had broken into
the house and stolen your will; that
the will was missing when you went to
look for 1t in the place you had put
II, and that you on the same day made
another will and placed 1t In Mr..
streeter's strong place. you not re
membering Mr.. Streeter's name until
| suggested It."
The letter then tells of the return
to Washington Of Mr.. Glover and his
daughter and Of alleged efforts Of
Mr.. Farlow and Of Mr. Tomlinson OF
the Christian Science church to Sc
cure from Mr.. Glover letters which
had been sent to him by his mother,
and of letters he received signed
with his mothers name urging him
10 give up the letters.

The miners at Goldfeld certainly

Teddy had to back out. As related
last week, no sooner were the fed
eral troops on the ground than mine
owners proposed 20 reduce all wages
10 per cent, force merchandise
prices down the same amount and
black list every member of miner s
union. However, the black list was
contrary to the state law of Nevada,
and the miners promptly threatened
to but the whole bunch in the pen.
Not having. the right kind of
supreme court down there, the mine
owners, decided to back down on
that proposition Then a mighty
chorus of protests went to Washing
ton from the politicians will you

cent reduction Of wages in the face
of presidential campaign?' Upon
that, the administration. which has
whenever it dared, shown sympathy
with the mine owners, took second
thought and decided that it WAS too
dangerous proposition here. So
wages are not going to be reduced
and the mine owners have had their
trouble for nothing. Unless. indeed.
