In statement issued by former
United States Senator William L.
Chandler, a special counsel in the ac-
ton, Il is declared that Mr.. Glover Is
actuated by no spirit OF disrcspeet 10
his mother, but believes that the pro-
ceeding is in her real interest. Mr..
Glover says that the action Is not di-
rected against the religion Of the Chris
tian Scientists.
Mr.. Glover has long thought that his
mother was growing too feeble In body
and mind to attend to important bust
ness matters, but that for II long time
he was unable to confirm this suspi
cion because those Immediately about
her seemed unwilling TO allow even her
nearest relatives TO have an interview
long enough to reveal her actual con-
dition. Early in January, however. ii
is stated, Mr. Glover during a visit to
Concord was enabled 10 talk with his
mother for three-quarters of an hour,
and as result after due consideration
he decided upon the present action ''as
an imperative duty too long neglected"
The action is returnable at the April
term of the MerriInac county superior
court, which assemblies on the first
Tuesday of the month. 1t is directed
against Calvin A. Frye, secretary, and
Lewis G. Strang, assistant secretary,
of Concord, Alfred Farlow. Irving c.
Tomlinson, Ira o, Knapp, w. h. John
son and Messrs. Chase and Armstrong,
all of Boston, as trustees Of the Chris
G Iii, Nd
Herring, first reader Of the church III
Concord.
Specifically the bill alleges that the
nominal plaintiff. Mrs. Eddy, who sues
''by her next friend is and for Il long
time has been incompetent to do busl-
ness or to understand transactions con
Quoted in her name in connection with
her property.
The next allegation is that the de-
PENDANTS have possessed themselves of
her person and property and have car
rled 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 pos
session and are bound to give account
thereof and of all their transactions In
her name.
1t is further alleged that there is rea
son to fear that the defendants wrong
fully converted some Of her property
10 their own use and that there are
particular transactions of which an &C
count should be given.
