Streeter, chief counsel for the defendants In the'Eddy case, occu pied the floor throughout yesterday's proceedings. His argument was de voted principally to the contention that In order to prevent Jhe trustees being substituted for "next friends" as plain tiffs In the original suit, the "next friends” must prove Mrs. Eddy's Incom- potency to execute the trust deed giv ing her trustees power to act for her. General Streeter claimed that It was the legal right of the trustees to prose cute the suit against the ten defend ants. Ho submitted the trust deed to the cAurt, and asserted that It was valid. To make It Invalid, he claimed, the "next friends" must prove Mrs. Eddy Incapable of making the transfer of her property to the trustees. If the deed Is valid, he said, not only all of Mrs. Ed dy's property has been transferred, hut the right to prosecute the suit passed to the trustees, and they ask to be al lowed to carry It on. If Mrs. Eddy's competency to make the deed Is re garded as material, then the question of competency must lie decided first.
