Oppose Motion of Trustees of
hirs. Eddy’s Property That
They Ilay be Substituted as
Plaintiffs in Christian Science
Suit

CONCORD, N. It, May 24.———The
Merrimack County Superior Court
room here was filled with an interested
crowd long before the second day's
session in the first legal battle over
the suit in equity brought by “next
friends" for an accounting of the pro-
perty of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
the Christian Science leader, was op»
ened.

Gen. Frank S. Streeter, counsel for
the three trustees to whom Mrs. Eddy
made over her property after the suit
in equity was entered by the “next
friends," having completed his argu-
ment in favor of a motion of the trus-
tees that they be substituted for “next
friends" as plaintiffs in the suit
against Calvin A. Frye and other
Christian Scientists, yesterday, today’s
proceedings were devoted to the pre-
sentation of the stile of the so-callcd
"nextfriends" who oppose the motion
of the trustees. DcWitto C. Howe
was prepared to open the case for his
clients. and it was expected that. he
would be. followed by former United
States Senator William id. Chandler,
senior counsel for the "next friends."

The closing argument for the true-
tees will be made by Gen. Strecter, but
it was thought today that Messrs.
Howe and Chandler would nos finish
in time for Gen. Streeter to Hake his
concluding argument today.

The beginning of Mr. Howe's argu-
ment was delayed for a short time af-
ter the opening of the court, by Judge
Chamberlain, who wished to ask Gen.
Strecter a question with reference to
the bill filed by the plaintiffs in the
original suit. supplemental to the mo
tJon of counsel that the trustees nam-
ed by Mrs. Eddy be made plaintiffs in
the original suit. The supplementary
motion asks that the trustees be inade
defendants Instead of plaintiffs, saying
that the defendant “procured and in
duccd" Mary B. G. Eddy to execute
the trust ecd, the woman being in a
condition of mind which made her in-
capable of executing such a deed.

Judge Chamberlain asked (lencral
Streetcr if the trustees accepted their
trust with full knowledge of the con-
ditions and proceedings up to the time
the trust. deed was executed. - ,

Mr. Streeter said that they had such
full knowledge.

Mr. Chandler, of plaintiff’s counsel.
asked that Mr. Strccter be heard in
full upon this point at this time, as he
has the‘closing argument in the pre'
sent proceeding.

.lndge'Chambcrlain ruled that Mr.
Chandler would have an opporttuiity
to reply to anything Mr. Streeter
might say on this point.

Mr. llowe then began his argument.
He summarized the aridavits of his
clients. making from them the points
that Mrs. Eddy‘s trustees have deter
mined this case in advance; that Mrs.
Eddy's son, George W. Glover, in tak-
ing his action in her behalf as a next
friend was moved by true considera—
tion and real affection for her; that
trusts like the one Mrs. Eddy recent-
ly made, have been made by her In the
past. to meet certain exigencies and
that when these exigencies disappearv
ed, the trusts disappared.

Replying to Mr. Streeter's argument
of Thursday, Mr. Howe said that Mr.
Streeter took up and dealt with all pos-
sible questions except the one direct‘
ly at issue, arguing a demurrer anti
motion to discuss.

“The question of the benefit of this
trust deed to Mrs. Eddy has not been
eluciated by Mr. Streeter," said « Mr.
Howe. "though there are many titles.
tlons relating to it and bearing up
it. As matter of fact the giving of
this trust deed after the suit of Eddy
vs, Frye, the original action of the
next friend had been- begun was not
only of no legal effect; but, highly im-
proper. The defendants in Eddy vs.
Frye naturally prefer to have the
trustees rather than the next friends
as plaintiffs. They choose, of course.
a sham battle in preference of a real
one."

Youthful Offendersiare Placed

on Probationé-l’uiiished for
Carrying Revolvers

Before JudgeGoorgs W. Wheeler
closed the May'ter of the criminal
superior court ye terday afternoon
he made arrangements that would give
two youthful culprits a chance to get
back to the straight and narrow path.

When the prisoners" were brought
up last week and put to plead two of
them were quite youthful and much
above the appearance of the average
criminal in looks. One was Joseph
Gillan of Ridgefleld. the other was
Frank Hungerford. of Redding.

Joe is 18. Frank is 17, and neither
had the hardened look in the face that
comes from criminal products of the
great city. They looked as though
they knew what was right but had fal»
len away from it. ,

Young Gallan was charged with for--
gery. He is a particula ly bright boy
but in some way 0 at or he started
wrong. He had‘be n In the reform
school and it had of helped him a
bit. At the jail be pleased all
officials by his willingness to work.
“Give me something to do," was the
daily cry. This was so absolutely on
posite to the average offender who
reaches the jail that the officials were
astonished. But my found that the
boy was sincere t t what. he really
wanted was good. hard work,

After the young than had pleaded
guilty Judge Wheeler deferred sen-
tence until he could look further into
the cause. Yesterday afternoon be.
bad the boy brought into his room.
By skilful questioning he drew out
the youngster and was satisfied that
he was not inherently bad. He gave
him some splendid advice and then
told him he. would place him on pro-
bation for six months.

Frederick Johnson who has charge
of Sheriff Hawley's farm in Brookfle’ld
was appointed “probation officer and
Gillan was placed in his keeping.
He took the boy to Brookfieid and this
morning found hlmyn place to work.

Hungerford pleaded guilty to the
theft of a watch. i Judge Wheeler
took him in hand and gave him ad-
vice as to his future course. Jesse
Duncan of Reddingiwas named as a
probation officer on young Hunger
ford was turned over to him for six
months.

Judge Wheeler also disposed of the
case of Antonia Frato, who was mixed
up with Antonio Vcrnoili iu the as-
sault upon Nathan ll. Wymau. an em-
ployi- or the Salt Textile Company in
Norwalk. Vernelli was sent to the
stoic prison for not more than four
years nor less that, two years. "f

Judge Wheeler he made the neu-
‘tcncc severe because the prisoner had
been carrying a revolver. Judge When.
ler said these people must he taught
that the punishment will be much
heavier when they are brought before
the superior court and it, is shown
that they have been carrying deadly
weapons.

it. was supposed that Frato's case
would go over until September. but
he finally derided to plead guilty and
take what was coming. Judge Wheeler
gave him one year in jail. He did not
carry a revolver. but. 9 court was
satisfied that he was ylng in wait.

of Mrs. Allen Pease, wife of Selectman

"Mrs. McKinley‘s condition is more

Her condition, however, is serious.

E. A. SKINNER
GETS HIS RIGHTS

Octogenarian Restored to at Le-
gal Status by the Probate
Court

Edward S. Skinner, the Black Rock
octogenarian, has won his legal battle
be having been restored to his former
capacity by Judge Bradley in the pro-
bate court, Bridgeport, yesterday. and
his conservator James A. Morris was
ordered to turn over to Mr. Skinner all
of his papers and full control of his
estate. The decision ends a. remark!»
his case during the progress of which
Mr. Skinner has demonstrated that
even though he is in the evening of
life and a bridegroom of but a- few
months he is in possession of his full
mental. capacity.

The decision was rendered after a
brief but exciting hearing when Mr.
Skinner triumphantly waved in the
eyes of the opposing counsel two bills
of $1.000 denomination. being the mis-
sing assets of the estate. He de-
clared that he had the money since
last January in the People's Bank of
New Rochelle. that it represented
years of honest toll on his part and
that he drew it from the bank to show
the court that he had not squandered
the money as claimed.

Attorney Shaw, who represents mem-
bers of Mr. Skinner‘s family who op-
posed the application for restoration
of his former rights and the removal
of the conservator, called up the bank
by telephone and after considerable
diniculty confirmed the story. The
fact that Mr. Skinner had concealed
this asset and had not squandered it
was offered as proof of his ability to
handle his own estate, and Judge
Bradley. of Westport, who sat on the
case in the place of Judge Nobbs who
was disqualified, gave the old man
the right to handle his own affairs.

Provision that income of Estate
Shall go to the Children and
Grandchildren, and After
Their Death to the Presbyter-

- ian Church, Noroion

The will of the late John W. Cris.
soy has been admitted to probate by
Judge Charles D. wckwood. of Stam-
ford.

Admission of the will was opposed
by the children of Mr .Crisse‘y—his
son, Payson.E. Crissey of Chicago,
and his daughter, Mrs. Sands Bishop
of Noroton—also by his grand-daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ada Tryon, of Noroton. They
alleged mental incapacity.

There were several hearings in the
Probate Court, in which Judge H.
Stanley Finch and Edwin L. Sco-
fleld represented the proponent, Clor-
ence W. Bell, as executor. and Judge
Frederick C. Taylor appeared for the
contestants. Judge Taylor will carry
the case to the Superior Court on ap-
peul.

The will disposes of a personal es-
tate consisting chiefly of stocks
and bonds. the present market value
of which is something over $20,000. it.
is so drawn that "the testator’s child—
ren will have life use of the income.
and that, after their death, the grand
daughter, Mrs. Tryon, will have life
use of it, and upon her death life use
of it will go to her children surviv-
ing her, and after their death the prin-
cipal will go to the Presbyterian
Church of Noroton. Clarence W.
Bell and Payson El. Crissey were nam-
ed as executors, but Mr. Crissey did
not join in the petition, for probate of
the will.
