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
to 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

result, after due consideration he de-
cided upon the present action "as an
imperative duty too long neglected."
Alleges She Is Incompetent.

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-
tons 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 :infrmity, they
/ have become trustees for her of all
property which has come into her
possession and are bound to give ac-
count thereof and tof all their trans
actions in her name
It is further alleged that there is
reason to fear that the defendants
wrongfully converted some of her
property to their own use, and that
i there are particular transactions of
which an account should be given.
