Mario Nelson Upperman. eight. who last May was taken on a Summer trip to ltaly by Mrs_ John Murray. a. healer of the "new-thought cult." wife of Dr. John Murray. of the Church of the Healing Christ. 1111-2. l'pperman has not had one word from her son since he sailed for Europe. she says. and she greatly fears she has been made the victim of a fraud. Mrs. Murray is the same woman that attempted to adopt Carlos San Martin. five. son of Dorothy Manners. the actress. The adoption was frustra- ted by Miss Manners by her kidnap- ping her son. Introduced By Frimd. Mrs. Upperman said that she had met. Mrs. Murray through a friend. whose name she withheld. and that Mrs. Murray had greatly impressed her as a woman of the most philan- thropic nature. Mngflpperman said: “nymusband. who for many yeear's was connected with the New York \V'drld. died last March. and left me with very limited means of support. After his death I noticed that my little boy‘s health began to decline and that he grieved greatly for his father. 1 longed to get him away from the surroundings in which we were. at any rate for a long enough time to en- able him to forget partially his father's death. A friend of mine. whom I have known for about twelve years. told me of Mrs. Murray. and suggested that she bring Mrs. Murray to my house. I was told that she was very fond of children. and that she might be able to do something for Mario. "Shortly after this Mrs. Murray and I were introduced. She. was very soli- citous toward me and took a great fancy to Mario. After I had met her two or three times. she made the pro- posal that she take Mario to her villa. Muzana. near Turin. in Italy. where he would be given the advantages of a trip to Europe for the summer and where he would be able to get away from the atmosphere of his father's death. All the expenses would be paid. Mrs. Murray said. and she further told me. that she and Mario would corres- pond with me regularly. Mrs. Murray impressed me as a woman of great integrity. and I had heard what good work she and her husband were doing in healing the sick. and. of course. I was overjoyed at the prospect of my little boy being able to have. through this woman's kindness. what I was unable to give him. because of» limited means. So it was arranged that Mario should go with Mrs. Murray to her villa. and that they would return some tIme in October. They sailed on May 1. " Partner Wes Icy. Mrs. Upperman says that Mrs. Murray was extremely cordial to her until the morning when they were to sail. Then. she says. Mrs. Murray treated her as though having secured the child. there was no further need for Mendliness between them. It was then. Mrs. Upperman says. that she had her first misgiving. She said: "Mario told me on several occasions. before he sailed. that he did not like Mrs. Murray. and that he did not “My husband. who for many years relish the idea. of being separated from me. In several of his letters. written on board ship. he said again that he disliked her.” Sloan Compensation Hearing Up Monday A hearing? in the case of Morris Sloan.
