■ 'x'HJli A'iUtUMA UJiUltWAjN A UK l\ Jii VV O. EDDY CASE COLLAPSES _ r be So-Called Next Friends Admit In ability to Produce Evidence. CASE DISMISSED BY THEIR MOTION ' Tit famcus no-called suit In equity which was Instituted through George / V. Glover and his daughter. Mary B. Glover, and others, charging that Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, discoverer and founder of Christian Science, has been Incompetent to manage her business affairs and that she hss been controlled and dominated by certain of her followers, has suddenly col lapsed by a motion of the plaintiffs. , _.. . For months glaring chnrges concerning the condition of Mrs. EdIf ttd • the canduct of her near supporters hdve been blazoned forth to the public, and counsel for the eo-ealled nest friends have given out the Impression that startling disclosures wero to be made, that they would be able to prove that Mrs. Eddy Is in a helpless stale and In the hands of designing men who were not giving proper account of her Income. . „ , After months of noisy boasting It now turns out that the so-called ‘next friends" and their counsel are not able to produce a scintilla of mrllencsln favor of their allegiulons but that they have made thelrchatys wltlMHit the slightest provocation: that they never have had the slightest evidence, hut have manufactured their chargee out of whole cloth. There has been and Is much speculation as to the real plaintiffs In the case, os to who originated this gigantic farcean(ll nowupi*arstohave been simply an effort to annoy and discredit Mrs. Bd'ly and stlgmatlse the religion of which she Is the founder and that probably the ao-called next friends" wero themselves the “tools of designing men, and that t h .Y.' ably never would have instituted thl» suit of their own volition had they n °A fen" days'ago. "in**t be course of thchearlng which has Just closed, the $ three masters who had been appointed by Judge ™ a ™torialn to determine - the question of Mrs. Eddy's business capacity on the secondlot March, lost \ when she executed a deeti of trust, together with the leading counsel on both ' sides of the case, visited Mrs.‘Eddy at her home and It was found that Mrs. Eddy was not only thoroughly competent but exceedingly alert and quite a match for the gentlemen who visited her. Even thernnnstil who waa seeking to prove hor Incoinpetsncy was beard to remark that sue f Wft *The B restdt n of llds^lntervlew, which liasbeenpubllslied ft " n ' ,er , „ot i country, has established beyond nny doubt the fact that .Mrs.Eddy Isi not only physically strong for one of her yeora, but one of the most alert women of her ngc who lives ot this period. . . , h , ;. Ever since the tiling of the bill, the “next Mends, J • counsel, have made repeated statementa to the pub lc press as to what ■ they expelled to provo and the evidence they claimed to have In hand but which they asserted could not be disclosed at that I'mc but when opportunity arrived would be offered and would sustain and prove each - andall of the allegations In their bill relating to the Incompetcnry of Mrs. Eddy Hnd the Imposition and restraint that was Imposed upon her 7 hv all those that were surrounding her. 7 Since the beginning of the hearing by the mnaters *?,*]£ court, the fullest opportunity has been given them oml tbe patent lntl tudo and Indulgence has been shown them by the masters, and >et earn succeeding day has shown their .Inability to produce any o'®*®' 1 ®* patent evdlence that would tend to show In any degree that Mrs. Eddy was not fully competent and able to manage her affairs, or, as a matter ot tact, that there was any ground or foundation whatever for any of the charges. . Ij,at they so audaciously set forth. And, after days °* reiteration and rep etition of what they Intended to allow, they hove finally admitted, by • theff own motion to dismiss the proceedings their utter Inability to pro- .' duce the slightest evidence In support of these grave, unjust and un founded charges that they so emphasized and proclaimed ot every oppor tunity through the press and In nil other public wujs. There could be no tnore complete and higher vindication of Mrs. Eddy - and no stronger admission of failure on ‘hMr own part ‘.^mse^lves Insri- tan- not of (taking dismissal of the caae that they have themaoives insu tuted. Such n disposition of the caso must have greater weight [nth® minds of all fair-minded persons than ever a finding t h ® \nn*t® r » f avor n f \f P - Piidv could miHHlblv hove—to concede that the evidence tnoy noa . offered ■wa^oVtgh. t^they themselves recognized that it was not even sufficient to submit to the masters for their oonslderatlon.

"She showed an ability to direct and criticise others as to her affairs ' and In everything a normal amount of will power which was exercised In a 7 Droner direction. She had the capacity to appreciate details, to correct mis. - jL k i« BI1( ) t 0 see that others were put right, which Implied a power of at tention which would not exist In nn Individual of weak mind. She posaesaed - . perfect knowledge of her surroundings and the duties and obligations of • those who were serving her. ; 5j|y visit to ber house was made on the afternoon of.August IS. at two D m I found her to be an elderly woman, of delicate frame, and evidently ; somewhat affected by the heat. There waa however, no visible Indication r of any motor symptoms of Insanity or nervous disease. Her expression was • Intelligent and In consonance with what she said end did. She was dlgnl- f fled though cordial, and possessed a csrtaln sense of humor which led her » to perpetrate a Joke about the so-called 'next friends/ whom she referred to ' as ‘nrxters.’ There was no tremor, no affectation of speech, and besides a ■ certain amount of flight deafness, I found nothing thq matter with her. ST She fullv understood the nature and object of my visit, and was willing, ns long as she could, to answer my questlona In doing so she did not manifest any excess of feeling, but responded quickly and Intelligently when she beard what was asked her. “The Interview- was opened by her disavowal of any prejudice against pbystclanr. In fact, aha said that her cousin was a regular doctor, who had become a homeopath, and that her father had believed he was getting crasy beesnse lie adopted this method of practice: but that he, however, had taken tare of Mrs. Eddy, who had gotten better, and then she herself bad com menced a series of experiments, gradually giving more and more feeble med. Iclnrs until the gave those with no potency whatever, but her patients got well Just the same. She then referred to her exposures of spiritualism, vridcf: I<»r » time the became Interested In. She said that she had after wards Investigated various religions, at different times criticising the older ministers, and finally adopted the Id ca tlutt Infinite love and salvation were universal; In other words, that she adoptsd her present faith, and that It waa the evolution from her earlier experiences. "She referred to the fact that she bad done and was performing an enor mous amount of work, which I knew to be true. She said that she had no doubt aha was going to win In this matter, and that her followers had done much to help her, and that she would like to have me on her side. “In answer to questlona about her affairs, she raid that she had put her property Into the hands of three trustees, Henry M. Baker, Archibald Mc- Lellan and Mr. Fernals ot Concord: that It was chiefly In bonds, but that she had other property, and that she did this because It was In conformity with her faith, and that no man could serve two masters, God and Mammon. She said that she would do tble to eee that her money would eventually go where she wanted It to go. that la to the church she had established. She stated that she had taken care of her eon, built him a house and furnished It from top to bottom, and had done everything for him; that In February laet she had put money In trust for him: that he had not paid his Insurance nor hi* poll tax nor hla otber taxes and that she felt he was running In debt and that she had made a trust of one hundred and twenty-live thousand dollars and had put It Into the hands of 'that honest man (pointing to Mr. Streeter) and two others.’ She referred to the fact that many years before, when her husband died, she asked her son to come home, saying. 'You are all I have; come home and stay with mother, and I will let you have all my property, all my real estate. Here Is a home up here and mother waiting for yon If you will come and live with me;’ but he refused. She referred to the condi tion In her trust deed that Qeortfe Washington Glover and Andrew Jackson were to have different forme of education. She declared that the trustees of the deed were Mr. Baker, Afr. McLellan and Mr. Fernals; that the had chosen Mr. Baker because he was a good and successful man to be trusted, and that the others would dispose of her money conscientiously. "Then she said that her property was mostly In bonds; that she could not be tempted to Invest In stocks, not even In preferred stocks, and that upon one occasion she had taken the advice of one of her atudents and had lost ten thousand dollars, and that she ha* never bought stock since. When ' asked If she had been Interested In mining stocks, she said, ‘No, I deiptse mining stocks.’ When asked, ‘Has any one ever tried to make you buy min ing stocks?’ she replied, ‘Yes, Indeed.' When asked who. she replied, ‘Aty son.’ 8hc said that when ahe bought bonds she always picked out Just those she wanted, government or municipal bonds, and that when she se lected any, she had a book which she consulted In regard to the population of the chief cities, and ttiat she would find out what that population was before she would take any Interest In them, because It was safe to know If the community was responsible. .When asked If It made any difference about the slxe of the cities, she sold, ‘Yes, she found It did, and that she always formed an estimate of their wealth.' "Throughout the entire conversation she showed no evidence whatever of any mental disease. ’She did not manifest any delusions, which she probably would hove done had sha been a paranoiac, as It has been assert ed she was, nor did she once refer to malicious animal magnetism, which 1 understand was alleged to be an evidence of her state of mind. In per son she waa neat ond clean and I am Informed Is most careful about tbe condition of her house, quickly noting any changes that may bo made In the arrangement of the furniture, books or decoration; that she gives her own ordors, manages ber own servants, and suggests the selection of food. During my visit I heard the sound of electric bells repeated two or three times, signals evidently being made, and I was Informed that this wait In accordance with a code she had established for summoning to her the dif ferent members of her household. She pays her own bills, sometimes ques tions the use of provisions, comments upon the chnnge In menu, takes an Intelligent Intereat In the affairs ot her native town and the events of the day. "Before leaving, she sent for a copy of .her book. *8010006 and Health,' and Inscribed her autograph, apologizing for her nervousness In signing her name. "From my knowledge of the case, from careful study of nil the letters, and from documents submitted to me, and from my examination of Mrs. Eddy. I om fully of the opinion that she Is competent to take raro of her self and manage her affairs and that she Is not coerced In any way. In fact, It would appear as If sha takes the Initiative upon all occasions. "The allegations concerning Mrs.Eddy’s belief In ‘malicious animal mag netism' nre ridiculous. I am convinced that the words are only used syn onymously with ‘malign Influence,' ‘malignant’ or ‘mendacious animal mngetlsm' Is therfore a facon parler, as the French say. She certainly has been subject to sufficient annoyance to entertnln the fear that she- Is to be subjected to further disturbance. False reports that she wns dead are among these, and her home has been broken Into und vnluable docu ments disappeared. That she has delusions regarding her son is an ab surdity, for only a few days before he brought suit to have her declared Incompetent, she had, without suggestion, made the trust deed to have him and his family provided for. Mrs. Eddy has no Insane delusions, and In print and elsewhere simply enunciates the conventional part of her cred which she and 800.000 believe In. No matter how Improbable or un acceptable It may prove to be to the community generally. It Is no more remarkable than others that have been before or that exist today, and her alleged delusion regarding mesmerism, the non-existence of matter, and the power of healing form an Integral part of very many religious be liefs."

Doctor Hamilton Is also known na an advocate for complete reform In the matter of expert testimony, and la generally regarded as one of tne few Impartial experts who can be relied upon to give honest testimony, and who car. not be bought; for this reason he IS respected by the court and by reputable lawyers generally. . . _ Doctor Hamilton Is flfty-elght years old and a grandson of Alexander Hamilton, and on his mother's side of Louis McLean, Who was minister to England and secretary of the treasury under Martin Van Buren and An drew Jackson. „ .

AND OUT OF RACE The appointment of Judge Horace N Holden, of the Northern circuit, to sue. ceed Justice A. J.

Wor. ley, of Elberton, was appointed to the Judgeship of the Northern circuit Judge Holden's resignation of the Northern Judgeship will become ef fective October 5, and Colonel Worley then assumes hla new duties.

ROBERT DOOLITTLE TO CENTRAL Robert Doolittle, chief engineer of the Candler building, has been ap- jointed assistant master mechanic uf :he Central of Georgia railroad, with headquarters at Macon. The appointment Is made for Sep. tember 1, but owing to the fact that the magnificent new shops of the Cen tral at Macon are nearing completion, Mr. Doolittle haa been urged to arcept the place at once, and he leaves Mon day night for Macon to assume hla new duties.

He held this place for six years, resigning to accept the place with the Southern road at Chattanooga. When the Candler building was being tilted out by E. W. Dutton with the finest machinery of any banding In the country. It was a problem as to wbo should be selected as chief engin eer. Mr. Dutton received nearly two hundred applications from all sections of the United States, but selected Mr. Dolittle for the place. > Mr. Doolittle ha* proved his worth, but when the position on the Central road was offered him, the chances of promotion were *0 good that he was advised to accept the place by his friends. with Dan blackness.
