Defendants win court order for inquiry into Mrs. Eddy’s competency
Concord June 11 The Merrimack superior court will appoint a master within a week to conduct hearings and take testimony on whether Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy can manage her own affairs. The move follows a bid by Mrs. Eddy and trustees to dismiss the equity suit brought by the “next friends” against Eddy’s secretary Calvin Frye and nine others. The case centers on competency and a partial settlement of the competency issue was sought. General Streeter noted the competency matter would be handled separately from the accounting proceeding.
