proceedings are unusual. So far as this
case can be considered a legitimate pro-

privileges of citizen adjudicated in a way
unprecedented in New Hampshire, so far
as am aware, and If it. shall appear that
these proceedings have been Instituted for
purposes other than the ascertainment and
protection of the plaintiffs legal rights the
method of dealing with such a case will be
carefully considered by Mrs. Eddy's counsel
before making any public statement
Messrs. Kelly and Martin, counsel for the
nominal plaintiff in the bill in equity. have
an appointment with Mr.. Streeter for this
afternoon. If at that time Mr.. Streeter
declines to accept service in behalf of the
defendants the process Of serving the de-
PENDANTS individually will be instituted
Former United States Senator William E.
Chandler, the senior counsel for the plain
tiff, will arrive here from Washington on
Tuesday, and will join with the others in
the conduct of the case.
Offered Thousands to Son.
O'Clock last Friday afternoon, the day on
which the bill in equity was filed, mes
senger from George w. Glover of Dead
wood, S. D., the son of Mrs. Eddy, delv
cred to her a letter in which Mr.. Glover
stated his purpose Of beginning the suit.
At $50 o'clock that afternoon Rev. Irving
c. TomlinSon, one of the defendants named
in the suit, left Concord his mission being,
1t is understood, to go to Mr.. Glover. Mr..
Tomlinson is said to have in his possession
for delivery to Mr.. Glover deed of trust
for certain sum of money, variously es-
timated at from 100000 to $25O,OO0. This
money, it is declared, was to be delivered
to Mr.. Glover on three conditions, as fol-
lows: First, that neither he nor his house
hold should make any further demands
upon Mrs. Eddy; second that they should
offer no objections to the probating of any
will that might be offered after her death;
third, that they should not seek by any
legal proceeding to set aside any gifts,
deeds or conveyanceS that Mrs. Eddy might
make during her lifetime
Meanwhile, John w. Kelly of Portsmouth,
one of the attorneys interested in bringing
the proceedings, had filed the bill in equity
with the clerk of the superior court and
notified Mr.. Streeter, counsel for Mrs. Eddy,
of the fact. Mr.. Streeter Id a long con-
ference with Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Martin,
during which he made it known that the
deed of trust was to be given to Mr.. Glover.
This conference came to an end when Mr..
Streeter was informed that the fact that the
bill had been filed had been given to the
press. and Mr.. Streeter then recalled Mr..
Tomlinson from his mission.
