CAUSES A
by the Allegation of the Plaint
"We have nothing to say at this
time..
'What apparently added most to
the consternation of Mrs. Eddy's
cabinet Is the fact that thcv aged
woman herself was made plaintiff In
tho suit, brought by others as her
"next friends."-
Every action of the plaintiffs to
day shows it is their purpose to
steer clear of any attack on Mrs.
Eddy on Christian Science. On tho
contrary, the aged head of the cult
Ih placed on' a high piano and the
entire course of events Is so shaped
as to make it clear tho attack which
promises to develop Into one of the
most sensational pieces of1 Ulgation
In the history of the country.
The action 13 not aimed at Mrs.
Eddy, but at the men surrounding,
her, who have, according to tho
plaintiff's allegations, taken advant
age of her age nnd Infirmities to se
cure control of the vast wealth she
Ij known 1o possess. ,

IS NOT RECOGNIZED
although tho hypothetical question
should bo modified.
Ir rendering his decision, the Judge
referred to tho "unwritten law," say.
lS, that so far a3 nny court ,n thls
state Is concerned, there Is uo Jaw
or precedent on the subject, If by
that Is meant that auy person can
take In his hands the righting of his
wrongs. This explanation, he said,
can only bo submitted In mltigathu
of the offense, not In Justification.
When the Frday nftcrnoon session
began, the prosecution requested
time to examine tho hypothetical
question to be put to Dr. Cl'nrk.
A $elay of over an hour resulted,
and then Commonwealth Attorney
Keith moved to modify the qucj.

many deductions In the question to
