fed Prosecutor Finley, who directed

land Reformed Church, and believes to
some extent in Christian Science. al
though she is not an enrolled Christian
Scientist.
Mrs. Rivollier's husband told her par
ents that he would engage a satisfac-
tory nurse. The De Block family heard
hat the new nurse was a Christian
Scientist, and that Mrs. Rivollier had
o been getting the medicine pre-
scribed by the physicians. This infor-
nation brough about a clash between
the De Block and the Rivollier families.

tan Scientist, and had been taking
Christian Science treatment for tuber-
culosis. He believed in the treatment,
and believed the same treatment would
cure his wife. The police will take no
